A member of the Guild of Professional Fine Artists of Nigeria (MGFA) and the current president of the Nigeria Art Society UK (NASUK), Aliyu\u2019s work delves into themes of colonial impact, global capitalism, and systemic inequities affecting the Global South.<\/p><p>Aliyu desarroll\u00f3 una pr\u00e1ctica cr\u00edtica hacia las medidas de austeridad impuestas por el FMI y el acceso limitado a materiales art\u00edsticos durante el Programa de Ajuste Estructural (SAP) de Nigeria en los a\u00f1os 80, mientras estudiaba en la Universidad Ahmadu Bello en Zaria. Inspirado en los envoltorios llamativos de bienes de consumo importados, \u00e9l innov\u00f3 una t\u00e9cnica que impregn\u00f3 su arte de comentarios sobre las presiones econ\u00f3micas que moldearon el panorama cultural de Nigeria.<\/p><p>Through his art and academic research, Dr Aliyu addresses cultural imperialism, consumerism, and Third World debt, illuminating their roles in perpetuating global dominance. His work invites meaningful discourse on Africa\u2019s developmental journey and advocates for social justice.<\/p><p><b><i>\u201cLas fuentes del trabajo de Hassan, tanto hist\u00f3ricas como contempor\u00e1neas, son a menudo met\u00e1foras de temas m\u00e1s amplios sobre raza y cambio. La impresionante din\u00e1mica de la obra de Hassan es particularmente evidente. Vincula energ\u00eda y movimiento en la pintura, produciendo im\u00e1genes vibrantes que fascinan y provocan. Con referencias t\u00e9cnicas a las im\u00e1genes din\u00e1micas de los futuristas italianos, Hassan elucida temas y cuestiones con unlirismo y una energ\u00eda cautivadores.\u201d \u2013 Mark Bills, Curador, Museo y Galer\u00eda de Arte Russell Coates, Dorset, Reino Unido\u00a0<\/i><\/b>\u00a0&#8211; Mark Bills, Curator, Russell Coates Museum and Art Gallery, Dorset, UK<\/p><p><span style=\"caret-color: #000000; color: #000000; font-size: medium;\">Aliyu&#8217;s recent exhibitions include\u00a0<\/span><em style=\"caret-color: #000000; color: #000000;\" data-start=\"162\" data-end=\"182\">Legacies of Biafra<\/em><span style=\"caret-color: #000000; color: #000000; font-size: medium;\">, a touring exhibition currently on view at Iwalewahaus, Bayreuth, Germany (8 May \u2013 20 December 2025);\u00a0<\/span><em style=\"caret-color: #000000; color: #000000;\" data-start=\"285\" data-end=\"324\">The Carnivalesque: Body, Mind &amp; Spirit<\/em><span style=\"caret-color: #000000; color: #000000; font-size: medium;\">\u00a0at Noho Showrooms, London (August 2025); and\u00a0<\/span><em style=\"caret-color: #000000; color: #000000;\" data-start=\"370\" data-end=\"391\">The Blue Between Us<\/em><span style=\"caret-color: #000000; color: #000000; font-size: medium;\">, a group exhibition at Rele, London (2025).
