About the Item
"Frail Soldier" by Alabi Azeez is a poignant artwork capturing the essence of vulnerability within strength. In this piece, a young man is depicted wearing nothing but a pair of white underwear and soldier cargo pants. The juxtaposition of the soft, almost fragile undergarment with the sturdy, utilitarian-military trousers evokes a sense of contradiction and complexity.
The title, "Frail Soldier," further emphasizes this duality, suggesting a vulnerability masked by the trappings of strength and resilience. Azeez's portrayal prompts viewers to contemplate the fragile nature of human existence, challenging traditional notions of masculinity and invincibility.
Through his meticulous attention to detail and evocative imagery, Azeez invites viewers to delve deeper into the psyche of the subject, exploring themes of identity, masculinity, and the inherent fragility of the human condition. "Frail Soldier" stands as a powerful reminder of the intricacies and contradictions that define the human experience.

About Artist
Alabi Azeez is a native of Iwo, Osun State, Nigeria. He was born on February 20, 1994. His talent became noticeable while in his primary school. He was raised in Lagos state where he attended his secondary school before gaining entrance into a higher institution. He has had the privilege of working with a great master Kunle Adeyemi at his studio in Mushin Lagos. He studied painting at the Lagos State University Of Science and Technology formerly known as (LASPOTECH) where he obtained a higher national diploma (H.N.D) in 2020 and his final year project (painting)was chosen by the school of art and was gifted to the seated governor of Lagos state for gracing the year's academic graduation. Since then he has been practicing as a full-time studio artist till date. Alabi Azeez works with several mediums and his works are majorly in Oil and Acrylic. Most of his works found its greatest impression when expressing himself on portraiture and human composition which shows an empathy in style with acclaimed realism. A hallmark of his work is the use of African motifs and forms to sensitize his works with beautiful use of Colors and to express his origin as an African Artist.
He has participated in several art exhibitions both online and offline in Nigeria.
Artist Statement
My choice of medium and use of African motifs and forms are influenced by the environment in which I grew up and particularly the overwhelming presence of art in the Yoruba kings' palaces: the carved doors, stools, wall posts, laurel of offices (crown, staff, costume), some of them are narration on social concerns, traditional activities and personal expression on cultural freedom by individual artists. Apart from inculcating these symbols and motifs and incorporating new contemporary details, I also try to simplify the subjects from the objects. This simplicity in composition gives room to the visual communication of issues such as character, tribal identity, and historical documentation
