About the Item
Gele is essentially a type of head tie worn by women in the Western African country of Nigeria. In contrast to the head ties worn in some other African countries, like Ghana, Gele is usually rather large and ornate, and as a result, is associated with ceremonial wear rather than day-to-day usage. However, some women also wear smaller, less formal Gele for everyday activities.
Whether it is being worn for ceremonial purposes or as an everyday garment also affects the style of the garment, as ceremonial Gele will usually cover both the ears and hair of the wearer, whereas everyday
"The higher the Gele is, the more beautiful it is"
A traditional Yoruba bride is never complete without her Gele and her guests are ill-equipped to party without theirs too. It completes the entire ensemble.

- "Maja" A Contemporary Reclining Nude Maja, Acrylic on Canvas by José PalaciosBy Jose PalaciosLocated in Madrid, ESJOSÉ PALACIOS Spanish, 1970 - MAJA signed "JAPALACIOS" (lower right) signed again "JAPALACIOS" and inscribed "MAJA" (on the reverse) acrylic, spray, wax and graphite on canvas 65-1/4 X 47-1/2 inches (165 X 120 cm.) unframed. Palacios's admiration for Goya and his Nude Maja, or Matisse's odalisque made him create this work that was an interesting play of color and alteration of the human figure. José Palacios was born in 1970. Influenced by the Spanish artists of the 80s belonging to the Madrid Movement, he began his artistic career linking the world of Painting and Illustration. Years later, Palacios developed a figurative style combining neo-cubism and pop art. His current work is based on a combination of abstraction with pop art winks made with a palette of refreshing and bold colors. His works are present in different private collections in Europe, United States and Asia José Palacios work has been exhibited at Wanrooij Art Gallery (Amsterdam, Holland), Bridge Gallery (Beijing, China), Art Angler Gallery / New York, USA), Plastique Art Gallery (Madrid), Actual Arte Contemporáneo & Galería Luis Carvajal...Category
