Pop History with Williams Chechet

Nigerian artist, Williams Chechet, has a unique and distinctive style of pop art where he shockingly transposes historical figures in a splash of color. Old portraits in black & white, shot in a serious mode with traditional regalia on full display, contrast starkly with playful, colorful illustrations that pop! Both styles make the other that more notable.

We have featured Williams’ beautiful work before, but here are others that we love!
