About the artwork In the «I am not a hero» series, I problematize the ideal of humanistic discourse about a future world where physical violence will become obsolete and our bodies will be safe. I draw on my own experience living through the change of worldviews during the war. As an author, I work with corporality as the only material for obtaining mental and material experience. The world still welcomes the beautiful death of the Hero, like the ancient world of Greece, while at the same time affirming the modern values ​​of security and moderation with the new Heroism. I conceptualize bodily security through the image of a female hero looking at me from the narrative of history and literature - Lady Godiva, Gerda, Jeanne d'Arc I use the metaphor of the body as a text that retells its own story of vulnerability. I explore the body's ability to remain open and vulnerable while the outside world puts on armor and urges it to fight. Modern society still requires people to be eaten up by dragons, calming their vigilance with a discourse about total equality. My main interest in this series is the ability of the body to evolve through pleasure and pain. My heroes, with their vulnerability, prove the inconsistency of Sartre's theory of the Other, which still leads to the logic of conflict and war. At the same time, I fix the unwillingness of society to move into the logic of the Other Levinas, which translates communication with the Other into a completely non-violent discourse. My characters consciously choose to remain vulnerable in order to stay alive and feel, not to escape reality and not anesthetize feelings so as not to lose touch with the truth Characters do not cover their bodies with clothing or shields, finding new resources of courage and accepting the fact of their vulnerability as part of life.

  • Serenity
    Located in Ibadan, Oyo
    Serenity is an original painting by Bright Toh. Bright created Serenity Acrylic on a 27.5W by 35.4H inches primed canvas. The artwork "Serenity" is a bright and colorful depiction of a lion head and rose flower, created entirely by a human hand. The combination of these two natural elements results in a stunning and harmonious image that exudes a sense of calm and tranquility. The lion head is the central focus of the artwork, rendered in vibrant hues of orange and yellow that evoke a sense of warmth and vitality. The lion's mane, which surrounds its powerful features, is depicted in a range of shades, from soft pastel pinks and purples to fiery reds and oranges. The overall effect is one of movement and fluidity as if the lion's mane is a living thing in and of itself. Intertwined with the lion's mane is a delicate rose flower, rendered in shades of pink and red that complement the warm tones of the lion's fur. The rose seems to emerge from the lion's mane as if it is a natural extension of the animal's power and beauty. The combination of these two elements creates a powerful visual metaphor, suggesting that beauty and strength can coexist in perfect harmony. Despite the boldness of its colors and imagery, "Serenity" also conveys a sense of calm and tranquility. The lion's expression is serene, and the rose is depicted in a way that suggests a sense of peace and stillness. The artwork invites the viewer to slow down and take a moment to appreciate the beauty of the natural world, and to find solace in its quiet strength. Overall, "Serenity" is a powerful and evocative work of art that combines elements of nature in a way that is both visually stunning and emotionally resonant. Its vibrant colors and bold imagery capture the viewer's attention, while its underlying sense of peace and harmony invites reflection and contemplation. It is a testament to the beauty and power of the natural world and a reminder of the importance of finding serenity in our busy and often chaotic lives.
