About the Item
Ayobola Kekere-Ekun’s "Plushie VI" (2025) is an original, handmade mixed media artwork that combines paper quilling, fabric, and acrylic on canvas. Measuring 29.92 x 25 x 1.38 inches (76 x 63.50 x 3.51 cm), the work features a stylized woman warmly embracing a purple bear-like plush figure adorned with a golden unicorn horn. This figurative composition reflects themes of intimacy, identity, and comfort through bold, textural contrasts and expressive forms.
Kekere-Ekun’s distinctive technique is rooted in precision-cut and coiled paper strips, meticulously arranged to produce vibrant patterns and sculptural depth. The figure’s deep brown skin and tightly curled hair are rendered in layered paper, while her red patterned blouse and blue trousers introduce bold fabric textures. The plush bear’s lilac and purple tones—combined with its exaggerated eyes and horn—add an imaginative, almost mythological quality to the scene.
The piece is in excellent condition and unframed, allowing collectors to fully appreciate its dimensional construction. Kekere-Ekun is celebrated for her innovative approach to storytelling through materials, and "Plushie VI" is a vivid example of her ability to merge craft and narrative in contemporary African art. This one-of-a-kind artwork is ideal for collectors seeking dynamic figurative compositions that blend emotion, texture, and visual intrigue.
