About the Item

"Home" is a thought-provoking artwork created by Lawal Ibrahim that portrays a man sitting on a chair in a contemplative stance. The piece stands as an embodiment of the artist's reflections on the concept of home, a place where one feels a sense of belonging and security. The artwork features a man sitting on a cushioned chair, with his hands resting on the arms of the chair and his head upright. The man's posture suggests that he is in deep thought, perhaps contemplating his life and his place in the world. His face is not visible, leaving the viewer to ponder what the man is thinking about. The chair upon which the man sits is another crucial element of "Home." The chair symbolizes a place of rest and comfort, a place where one can relax and feel at ease. It represents a physical manifestation of the concept of home, a place where one can sit and feel a sense of belonging. Furthermore, the artist's choice of medium adds a unique dimension to the artwork. Lawal Ibrahim used colored pen on paper, which allowed him to create a sense of depth and texture. The use of digital art also gives the artwork an organic feel, which contrasts with the refined and polished feel of other art forms. In conclusion, "Home" by Lawal Ibrahim is a profound artwork that explores the concept of home and the human need for a sense of belonging. Through the use of color, posture, and medium, the artist has created an artwork that invites the viewer to reflect on their own thoughts and feelings about home. The artwork is a testament to the power of art to stimulate introspection and encourage self-reflection.

I proceeded to my postgraduate studies at the Open University, Abuja where I got a Master’s Degree in Administration and Planning in 2020. My works are centered around the consciousness of humans and their relationship with our surroundings, using mediums ranging from pens to watercolors, fabric, and newspapers. I delved into a new style of art called Aprosopi. This style of art combines hyper-realism from traditional art and digital art. With less emphasis on the face, it is a way of asking questions, about is human facial features importance exaggerated and their implications on our societal relationships. All my life I have always wanted to express myself through my art and get them to be an extension of my innate thoughts I participated in a group exhibition held in Abuja at the Ivory Place; the Flow Session (2021) I currently reside in Abuja, Nigeria, where I work as a full-time artist
