Since bursting onto the scene just a few years ago, self-taught digital artist Osinachi (born Prince Jacon Osinachi Igwe) has quickly established himself as Africa’s foremost cryptoartist. His unique style and narrative illustrations have garnered the praise of collectors and exhibitions internationally, with accolades including a showcase at the Ethereal Summit in 2018 (making him the first Nigerian to ever do so), and placing as a finalist for the 2019 Bridgeman Studio Award. As impressive as his artworks is his process itself — His rich illustrations are created using Microsoft Word.
This collection marks Osinachi’s first collaborative project of this nature as he teams up Don Jazzy, the legendary music producer who has been heralded as the the Dr. Dre of Africa. As a leading pioneer of the Afrobeats sound and movement, Don Jazzy has won numerous awards and has been part of ground breaking records and collaborations with artists including Burna Boy, Snoop Dogg, Kanye West, Jay Z and Beyonce (Watch The Throne).
Together, this duo has created three unique artworks that fuse their signature styles with Osinachi’s visuals and Don Jazzy’s Afrobeats.
“I can say that the collection is a tribute to Afrobeats. Don Jazzy has been in the global music industry for decades, championing Afrobeats in his own unique way. (I grew up dancing to music produced by this legend!) So we wanted to show that Afrobeats can be both upbeat and mellow.” -Osinachi
