ROLE MODEL OF THE WEEK, RASHEED BUSHURA – FOUNDER OF BUSHURA GALLERY

Rasheed kayode bushura, a unique and provocative artist, has been painting professionally for over 10 years. Born and raised in London, he studied Graphic arts and illustration at the University of East London. His technique has been described as Old Master and “smooth as silk.” Since 2011, Rasheed has concentrated on realistic portraiture, expertly capturing subtle aspects of personality. He maintains that the most challenging and rewarding subject of art is the human visage. Among other artistic honors, major paintings have been exhibited at the V&A museum, the nunnery gallery, shonibare studios and many more. As well premier private collections.

Rasheed developed his life long interests in art drawings and producing architectural works from an early age. These works were inspired when his mothers house unfortunately burnt down, in a effort to be supportive he embarked on a project to produce the blueprints for the new house, this rather unfortunate circumstance proved to be the road where he would discover his ability to be imaginative and creative in-fact seeing his drawings incorporated in the final masonry enthralled him. The great pride such works brought to himself and his close relatives instilled him a strong ambition to become a renowned artist.

In his teens taking a keen interest in design and technology plus art he outdone himself producing cherished works influence by greats like Picasso, Andy Warhol, Van Gogh and Robert Russienberg, relishing in his ability to be original he adds his own twist to his works though they shadow his role models.

However Resheed’s main theme for his works did not fully develop until completing his B.A honours in graphic arts and illustration, gradating in 2010 his works showed the maturity not only found in his style but in his interests, showing interests in ancient cultures, like the Egyptians, Mayans, Hindu and Greece; these are a small minority of his broad spectrum.

Rasheed has been hosting and directing projects, as of recent he has been involved in contributing his experience gained over the years to schools in east London helping to instil confidence in young people. Adept in using software’s such Photoshop, illustrator and in-design he designs and illustrates using the devices when necessary, he currently oversees RKB Enterprise providing a multidisciplinary art service to client worldwide, coordinating creative events and project management.

ABOUT FLORENCE

Florence Okonkwo made it to the top at The  Toronto film festival.

The Inspirational “Queen of Red Carpet UK” also recently won “NELAS CELEBRITY OF THE YEAR  and “HRM Queen of Nollywood International” at the 14th Excellence and Leadership Awards organized by THE NELA ACADEMY in October 2019.

Beautiful and glamorous diamond Ms. Florence Okonkwo, popularly known as the Queen of Red Carpet is no doubt a highly industrious and wonderful woman of substance who believes in hardwork, creativity and the great manifestations inspired by purpose.

. The multiple awards winning United Kingdom based diva also known as Blaster is from Ogwashi-Uku in Delta State of Nigeria.

She holds a degree in Banking and Finance from The Lagos State University (LASU) and also enrolled for post-graduate studies in Marketing at Middlesex University, United Kingdom.

Florence copiously manifested the zeal for social services, selflessness and humanitarian gestures throughout her educational career as she was at different time member of such societies including Brownies and Girls Guide, Red Cross, etc. Her sterling qualities leadership, coupled with a knack for proactive gestures, has usually devolved on her positions of responsibility at every level of her education.

These qualities equally attracted various beneficial gestures in her favour, one of which was the scholarship for a Master’s degree at University of Middlesex. Sequel to a successful educational sojourn, Florence began to explore the competitive and highly challenging movie industry where she played leading role in classy movies and acted as Producer and/or Director in some others, including, but not limited to Shameful Deceit; The Soul; 18 Carat Mama; Heartless Carer; Broken Cross; Oga Detective; Return of the Don; The Baron; Love Conquer; Golden Love; Passport Sake; Top Range and Queen of the Red Carpet, “This is not about me” featuring Hollywood, Bollywood and Nollywood actors.

It is particularly worthy to note that Blaster weathered the storm and all challenges to stardom in environment mostly considered masculine and displayed rare courage and sportsmanship. One could not, but marvel at the mannerism which this incredible role model has managed her career with the daunting challenges of family and quasi-societal needs. In fact, a critical assessment of her role in such movies as Top Range, 18 Carat Mama , love conquer and Oga Detective, For the Love of Money to mention a few clearly attests to her quality as a quintessential character, easy to adore.

It is important therefore to remark that Florence toiled, paid her dues at acceptable measures, and underwent requisite tutelage in order to attract an audience which has remained steadfast to date. Apparently, the earlier days were cloudy, but the level of resilience of this lady facilitated much strength to clear the teething hitches. Accordingly, she has amassed an intimidating number of awards spread across 4 continents.

These include Hollywood -Africa Prestigious Award best actress 2018, BEFFTA best Producer 2018 and Film Producer 2014, ZAFAA Recognition award 2018, MAFAA Ambassador for Peace a 2018, EPRA Leadership and Entrepreneurial Awards 2017, MBGA The Most Beautiful girl in Abuja, Judge and recognition award. New Brand Amb. UK the official Hollwood and African Prestigious awards, Global hidden treasures award, Cameroon film & movie academy Award, Podium recognition 2016, LA NUIT DES OSCAR UK special Diaspora prize, Queen of Red Carpet Award 2016, Queen of Nollywood 2016, BEFFTA Community Champion 2016, London of Borough of Southwark 2011.

Florence Blaster Onkonkwo is the founder and convener of ‘Stand By Me Network and member of UK Nollywood Producers Guild UKNPG. Arising from the sad experience of losing 2 of her siblings, to Sickle Cell at the tender age, Ms Okonkwo resolved to do all within her reach to reduce the scourge of the disease from the society. Her efforts in this respect have attracted an award recognition both from the Deputy Mayor of Southwark, Counsellor Lorraine Lauder and Carol Nwosu, the founder of ‘Sickle Cell and Young Stroke Survivor’ in the UK. She is the founder of ‘M & M FOUNDATION’, a charity organization, established to help vulnerable and grass-root people in Africa; set up in 2018.

As a practitioner, it is always interesting to imagine how this naturally gifted lady combines intricate measure of affection, love, suspense, understanding and predictive ability in her role in movies. In the combined history of Hollywood and Nollywood, Blaster gained inroad at a relatively tender age and was able to amass a great number of awards as an Actor, Producer, or Executive Producer. Ms. Florence Blaster Okonkwo was listed in the 2019-2020 edition of The Nelas Top 100 Most Influential Personalities by the publisher and editor in chief comrade F
