REMEMBRANCE & LOYALTY IN ART
BY NWOKO SIMEON

“Simeon paints his subjects in yellow skin color to sharpen the memory and impact of 1973 when yellow ribbons were worn traditionally as a sign of hope as women waited for their men to come from war during the hostage crisis.”

Nwoko Simeon is a Nigerian-born visual artist from Nkanu west, Enugu state. Simeon represents humans’ optimism, remembrance & loyalty with charcoal and paints on a canvas. His works reflect the devotion, clarity of one’s personality, and the belief that there is hope for a good result in every bad situation. This is evident in his subject skin texture, which is a yellow color that depicts his diverse nature; the yellow color increases mental activity, encourages communication, enhances vision, builds confidence, and stands for clarity, hope, honor, joy, and joy loyalty.

Simeon paints his subjects in yellow skin color to sharpen the memory and impact of 1973 when yellow ribbons were worn traditionally as a sign of hope as women waited for their men to come from war during the hostage crisis.
