Description

In this striking figurative work, Godfrey utilizes heavy impasto and a vibrant palette to explore how stillness can carry as much urgency as movement. Captured in a moment of deep contemplation, the subject becomes a "visual meditation" on the resilience required to remain present in the quietest hours.

Rendered with bold, sculptural palette knife strokes, the piece bridges the gap between the personal and the universal—an invitation to witness the stories that often remain unspoken.

Godfrey Afebuame, The Weight Of Stillness
Canada  • 1969

Presentation

Godfrey Afebuame is a Nigerian-born, Niagara-based artist with over three decades of professional practice and a distinguished academic background from Auchi Polytechnic. A master colourist and recipient of the Fasuyi Prize for Best Student in Painting, he is renowned for bold, impressionistic compositions that emphasize physical depth and energy. His signature style is defined by heavy impasto applications, where he utilizes a palette knife to build rich, sculptural textures that bring a three-dimensional quality to the canvas. While often centering on the female form, his work addresses broad global narratives, including peace, economics, and environmental sustainability.

A member of the Society of Nigerian Artists, Afebuame's work has been showcased at premier international venues such as the Maison de France and Signature Gallery. His paintings are held in distinguished private and corporate collections across Nigeria and internationally, reflecting a career marked by both critical acclaim and technical evolution. Recently, he has expanded his repertoire to include the delicate, luminous qualities of watercolor, continuing to evolve his practice as a significant contributor to the Canadian contemporary art landscape.
