Tosin Oyeniyi Justice Before Peace2023
2023
About the Item
We are all crying out for peace, But none is crying out for justice.
Not just all about peace,
But equal rights and justice.
It’s a must-have.
Slavery then, advanced colonization now
Injustice and corruption here and there
Everybody wants to go to heaven
But nobody wants to die.
We need it! Equal rights and justice.
Just give everyone its share!
Give what is due to Caesar to him.
And what belongs to I, you better, give it up to I.
Everyone heading for the top
But tell me how far is it from the bottom?
Nobody knows but
Everybody fighting to reach the top
How far is it from the bottom?
Everyone is talking about crime,
Tell me who are the criminals?
I don’t see them!
With Equal rights and justice.
There’d be no crime!
…Equal rights and justice.
There’d be no criminals!
We are all in this fight for equal rights and justice.
Here in Nigeria 🇳🇬, Equal rights and justice
Palestine is fighting for equal rights and justice.
Down in Angola. Equal rights and justice.
Down in Botswana. Equal rights and justice.
Down in Zimbabwe. Equal rights and justice.
Down in Rhodesia. Equal rights and justice.
All around the world, Equal rights and justice

About Artist
Tosin Oyeniyi is an intrinsically talented Print-Making Artist who hails from Ogbomosho, Oyo State, Nigeria where he spent his childhood and teenage years. He bagged his degree from the prestigious Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) where he studied Fine and Applied Arts and graduated as a Graphics specialist. Tosin becomes inspired by his unquenchable passion to preserve and project African culture to the global arena. Through his craft, he’s unrepentantly determined to give beauty to the sight; heal emotional wounds and injuries; emphasize love; preach peaceful co-existence; highlight societal ills and injustices; advocate for the teeming poor; unite families and bind lesions that are occasioned by inevitable disagreements; educate the black youths about her brave legends; reconcile the blacks with her beautiful roots; magnify the creator for His wonderful creations.
Tosin has since stuck with a similitude of an even blend of naturalism and post-expressionism as he colorfully and ingeniously shares the rich and vast African beauty, stories, sceneries, and culture with the rest of the world through Lino Prints. His Techniques give particular attention to perfect registration and toner graduation while deliberately creating horizontal lines all over. It explores the beauty in chiaroscuro and aerial perspective while facial contours are colorfully mapped out with divisive lines. A technique combination that is still largely overlooked in the world of Printmaking.
His works have been exhibited nationally and internationally, and his works have been acquired by many private collectors in Tunisia, the United States, England, and others. In Addition, His art has been featured in both national and international publications.
