Kanyeyachukwu Tagbo-Okeke (Kanye), a 14-year-old Nigerian art sensation, is attempting in a groundbreaking endeavour to set a new Guinness World Record for the largest artwork on canvas, measuring 10,000 square feet.
Kanye, a student at The Zeebah Foundation and fellow of the Society of Nigerian Artists, is the youngest person to attempt this record, the Largest Art Canvas and the first individual on the autism spectrum in this category.
The project, the first stroke of the paintbrush launches on August 29, 2024, coinciding with The Zeebah Foundation’s 5th anniversary. The Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting children with autism, their families and caretakers, aims to build a state-of-the-art resource centre in Abuja.
The objectives of the project include setting a new Guinness World Record™ title for the largest art canvas; and raising funds for the new, bigger and state-of-the-art Zeebah Foundation’s Autism Resource Centre.
In addition, it is to promote autism awareness, inclusion and acceptance through art, showcase Kanye’s exceptional talent and inspire others on the autism spectrum.
Kanye’s remarkable talent has garnered international recognition, with numerous awards and exhibitions worldwide.
The current world record is by an artist in Qatar, which measures 9,652 square meters. The project, titled “Impossibility is a Myth”, seeks to raise funds for The Zeebah Foundation’s state-of-the-art autism resource centre in Abuja, Nigeria and to promote autism awareness, inclusion and acceptance through art.
