About the Item
In a stunning display of divine intervention, the world was recently graced with a series of epiphanies that left humanity dumbfounded. Are you born again? For a man cannot live by bread alone… pray for an encounter!
Study the word!
Engage in kingdom investment or tree planting!
Revelations are in the book!
These are the motivations for winning souls and reaping fruit in the vineyard.
Where are we with all these faiths as a people?
But the reality of living is so concrete.
No specific path to spirituality. The heart of man is inseparable from man. Let the brain and mind work in accordance.
The first epiphany struck Gary, a middle-aged office worker, as he sat in his cubicle, mindlessly staring at spreadsheets. Suddenly, it hit him like a ton of bricks: "I've been wasting my life! I should be a professional yo-yo player!" Without a second thought, Gary stormed out of the office, leaving his bewildered colleagues wondering if they had missed some hidden yo-yo talent during their years of working together. Come to the savior, all you heavy laden!… turn back from your ways… riches are vanity…lol
off-shore accounts keep growing.
…yet billing and cost of living, education, and business keep increasing amidst other real-life issues and not fantasies among the people.
True change comes from within.
As the dust settled and reality set in, people began to question the legitimacy of their epiphanies. Had they truly stumbled upon profound truths, or had they simply fallen victim to a global prank? Perhaps it was all just a cosmic joke, a reminder that life is too unpredictable to be bound by societal norms and expectations.
So, the world gradually returned to its former state, with most people sheepishly returning to their old lives, hoping that no one would bring up their brief stint as a professional hacky sack player. And as for Gary, the would-be yo-yo champion, well, he eventually found solace in the fact that he could balance a spoon on his nose like nobody else.
And so, the great epiphany craze came to an end, leaving behind a trail of shattered dreams, confused bystanders, and a renewed appreciation for the simple joys of a stable and predictable life. We now call here the border!

About Artist
Orioye Bukola, born in 1993 in Osogbo, Orioye is a native of Ekiti State—a graduate of Chemistry from the University of Ibadan, Nigeria. Trained by Mr. Tope Fatumbi of Topfat Art Gallery; Adamasingba, Ibadan 2019. He is inspired by societal issues and life demands, beauty, culture, and African Spirituality – focusing more on the female gender as a conduit to all else. His philosophy is about simplicity and determination without harm none.
Orioye's mind quest has progressed to infused questionings and suppositions in his canvases beyond mere rhetorical aesthetics; (as the trendy atmosphere now seems mostly to suggest). His works speak in metaphors that flow between the past, the present, and the postulation of the future. He probes into relics to unearth anchored reasoning that shares semblances with contemporary happenings.
His stylistic sense is inventive of punkish style piles of hair reminiscent of the 80s and discotheques, parted with sharp oblique angles which are reflections of the hard chiseled surfaces of the Yoruba effigies he introduces into his works, seasoned with a strong sense of fashion.
Orioye is concerned with African spirituality and how it interfaces with the people's identity, memories, worship, and total well-being. This adaptation of the past to interface with the present and postulate a futuristic nuance is evident in his warm leathered-clad supersonic subjects whose demeanor echoes the Star Trek, UFO, and intergalactic Adour of postmodern Hollywood cinematic periods.
This pendulum of interactions between the past, the present, and the futuristic postulations, defines Orioye’s works and lends them a certain direction. The combinations create inquisitiveness for explorations that permeate the borrowed eras, espousing bygone traits of exhumed investigative nuances, memories, identities, and spirituality of bygone cultural epochs. It will be exhilarating to calmly observe the growth of Orioye Bukola’s sojourn in the interpretations of his curious and investigative narratively placed overtures.

Energy
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
Oladimeji Alabi, a Nigerian contemporary artist, created a thought-provoking artwork titled "Energy," which emphasizes the essence of energy, both positive and negative, according to African spirituality. The artwork is a vivid depiction of the concept of karma, which is fundamental to African spirituality, and the law of nature, which states that what you give out, you get back in turn.
The central piece of the artwork is a painting of a human figure, seemingly in a state of contemplation with her flowing hair.
"What you give out, you get back in turn." This phrase is a direct reference to the concept of karma, which is prevalent in African spirituality. Karma is the belief that our actions have consequences, and that every action we take has an effect on our lives and the lives of those around us.
Furthermore, the artwork emphasizes the importance of energy, both positive and negative, and how it affects our lives. According to African spirituality, everything in the universe is interconnected, and energy flows through all things. Positive energy is associated with good fortune, success, and happiness, while negative energy is associated with misfortune, failure, and sadness.
In conclusion, Oladimeji Alabi's artwork "Energy" is a beautiful and thought-provoking piece that embodies the essence of African spirituality. The artwork's central message of karma and the law of nature is a powerful reminder that our actions have consequences and that we must be mindful of the energy we put out into the world. The artwork is a testament to the artist's skill and creativity, and it is sure to leave a lasting impression on all who view it.
