Ayobola Kekere-Ekun"Plushie VII" - Quilled Mixed Media Artwork of Figure and Bear Plushie2025
2025
About the Item
"Plushie VII," by Ayobola Kekere-Ekun, is an imaginative and original mixed-media artwork created in 2025. This captivating piece showcases Kekere-Ekun’s exceptional use of quilling, a technique involving the meticulous rolling and shaping of vibrant paper strips into intricate patterns. Combining quilled paper, fabric, and acrylic paint on canvas, the artist brings forth a playful yet thoughtfully composed figurative scene.
The artwork presents a warm embrace between a figure adorned in vividly patterned fabric and intricately quilled, multicolored hair, and a charming bear-like plushie featuring luminous green eyes, soft lavender tones, and a whimsical golden horn. Through this engaging imagery, Kekere-Ekun explores themes of cultural identity, nostalgia, and emotional connections, blending imaginative fantasy with nuanced expressions of personal narratives.
Ayobola Kekere-Ekun, originally from Nigeria and currently working out of South Africa, consistently draws on her cross-cultural experiences, weaving them beautifully into her contemporary practice. Measuring 30 inches high by 24 inches wide and 1.38 inches deep, "Plushie VII" arrives unframed but ready to hang, making it a delightful and meaningful addition to any contemporary art collection.
