From the inaugural editions at Thought Pyramid Art Centre Lagos and Thought Pyramid Art Centre Abuja in 2023, to the successful debut of Undiscovered Benin 1.0 at Thought Pyramid Art Centre Benin in 2024, this group art exhibition has steadily evolved, featuring over 40 exhibiting visual artists across the gallery’s branches nationwide. The art curation by Adetiloye Oluwatosin Jekami has remained deliberate and discerning, often spotlighting artists debuting in a city or country for the first time. Even for those with international exposure, Undiscovered provides a renewed platform to reposition them within Nigeria’s dynamic art scene.
At its core, Undiscovered by Thought Pyramid Art Centre is an invitation to witness the hidden gems within Africa’s artistic landscape. An opportunity for art lovers, stakeholders, and collectors to engage deeper with these voices, explore their unique visual languages, and appreciate the depths of their fresh creativity. It recognizes the endless possibilities that lie within the expansive realms of imagination and serves as a reminder that the Nigerian art world is ever-evolving, always ready for new perspectives.
Beyond being an art exhibition, Undiscovered is a beacon of support for visual artists navigating the often challenging path to recognition. As a gallery with almost two decades of championing talent under the leadership of Obarisi Jeff Ajueshi, Thought Pyramid Art Centre conceived this initiative as a lifeline — reigniting the embers of determination, offering a standard platform for exhibition, and providing visibility that many of emerging/fast rising visual artists have long deserved.
The canvas of Undiscovered by Thought Pyramid Art Centre is a masterpiece in itself. It is a merging of vibrant pigments of resilience, originality, and diligence. It stands as an oasis of opportunity, thrusting deserving young/fast rising visual artists onto a bigger stage they have earned through sheer uniqueness and commitment.
As we present the 2025 editions — Undiscovered Lagos 3.0, Undiscovered Abuja 3.0, and Undiscovered Benin 2.0 — we are excited to invite you, our dear amazing visual artist, to journey with us beyond familiar paths. We trust that as guests step into our gallery spaces, they will very well immerse themselves in the ingenuity in your gems, and witness your evolution as Nigeria’s/Africa’s creative future.
