About the Item
Ayobola Kekere-Ekun's "Plushie V" (2025) is a dynamic mixed-media figurative portrait that blends paper, fabric, and acrylic into a richly textured composition. Measuring 29.92 x 24 x 1.38 in (76 x 60.96 x 3.51 cm), the piece centers on a stylized figure embracing a bright red plush bear, evoking themes of childhood, emotional attachment, and personal identity.
Executed in Kekere-Ekun’s signature quilling technique, the work features tightly coiled and layered paper strips that create dimensional contours and bold visual rhythm. The plush toy’s oversized eyes and playful features contrast with the human figure’s calm, watchful expression, producing a layered narrative that feels both tender and surreal. A camouflage-inspired fabric shirt adds to the tactile complexity and offers a contemporary visual anchor.
This original, handmade artwork is in excellent condition and unframed. Kekere-Ekun, a Nigerian artist known for reimagining paper as a sculptural medium, continues to expand the boundaries of material-based storytelling through this compelling exploration of connection, memory, and symbolic figures.
