ABSTRACT
PLEASE NOTE:
Ben Ibebe is an artist who has mastered the impasto technique in painting and has utilized the expressionism style of painting. Ben Ibebe‟s paintings are among several paintings with poignant statements, yet his paintings are not documented through scholarly work. The researcher aims to highlight the issues that Ben Ibebe paintings postulate and evoke in the society. The objectives are to: examine the philosophy and inspiration surrounding Ibebe‟s focus, discuss the themes of his paintings within the context of the styles that bring them to the fore, study the techniques employed in his paintings from a thematic perspective, and categorise the themes of his paintings; based on socio-political, economic, religious, and cultural issues in the Nigerian society. The study is justified, because the artist is still alive and actively practising art. If he is not studied and documented, the first hand information about him and his art can be lost. The researcher conducted an oral interview on Ben Ibebe at his residence to derive useful information based on his philosophy, inspiration, styles, techniques and thematic representation of his paintings.The research is significant as it highlights the issues that Ben Ibebe‟s paintings postulate and evoke in the society. Hen ce, the aspiration for salvation from the excruciating pains of injustice, poverty, and depression encountered by the masses in Nigeria, are also highlighted in several social commentaries associated with his paintings.The related literature to this study is segregated into three sections: The researcher reviewed artists outside Africa and Africa (Nigeria inclusive).The researcher employed the use of primary and secondary sources to achieve the aim and objectives. Simple random and purposive sampling technique were also employed to select twenty of Ben Ibebe‟s paintings, which form the population of the study Descriptive and historical methods were used to analyze the social, political, economic and religious commentaries of the artist‟s paintings. These commentaries of the artist are vivid accounts of events in the Nigerian society and the world. Therefore, based on these findings, recommendations are advanced thus: The study has shown that Ben Ibebe‟spaintings address the issues in the society. Hence, it is recommended that, art historians and art critics should explore and document works of other contemporary artists in the same light for futureappraisal.Finally, the study reveals that the artist has mastered the impasto style technique of painting; hence thiswould go a long way to inspire upcoming artists
