Abstract
Wastes are everywhere in the world and they exist in different forms. They are discarded objects waiting to get a new life or further degraded. Improper disposal of these wastes causes flooding, environmental pollution and catastrophe because most of them end up in the environment and ocean life. The environment, man, animal and plants suffers from this menace and one of the major pollutant in this discuss is metal. The world is polluted with metal wastes caused by humans. Metal pollution and health is one of the most issues, which has not been given adequate attention to by both the government and the public. When these metal wastes materials are not re-used or recycled, they create a major threat to the eco-system. The history of contemporary or modern art in Nigeria, has connection with the western world especially in the use of foreign materials which are found objects such as metal, fibers, plastics, paper, glass etc. to replace Nigerians media such as calabashes, earth colours, gourds and so on. Artists throughout history have given much preliminary thought to content and devoted a great deal of time to studying methods by which their new ideas can communicate powerfully. This paper aims to address environmental metal wastes pollution in the environment and to document selected works of a unique sculptor, Segun Okewumi, a young, contemporary, Nigerian metal sculptor by examining his works, materials and his ideology. The paper relied on oral interviews with the artist, documented observation of his works, review of published books, journals, articles, published & unpublished thesis, newspaper and essays on the subject matter as well aesthetic artistic analysis.
