Joy Eyitayo Alagbe Is a mixed media artist based in Ibadan, Nigeria. He was Born on June 14, 1997, in Ogbomoso, Oyo State Nigeria. Art has always been part of Eyitayo’s life as he draws inspiration from the life experiences of the people surrounding him and the way we are as African. After studying at Emmanuel Alayande College of Education, where he gained an NCE certificate in Fine and Applied art, Eyitayo Alagbe decided to follow his desire to become an artist. Intrigued by the mysteries of the human figure as a unique work of nature, he uses it to create works that speak to subjects he feels are neglected or not spoken about in Nigeria. Eyitayo works in many artistic mediums but has a preference for Charcoal pencil and acrylic on paper and canvas, mixing charcoal and acrylic within a single composition because of its versatility and texture. He devotes his time in the studio to the study of his artistic technique and the search for continuous improvement of his expressive capabilities. Eyitayo’s art speaks about black power, hope, joy, pain, sociopolitical issues, and the way we are as African Eyitayo participated in several group exhibitions both physical and virtual exhibitions which allows him to showcase his works to the world (Ibadan Arnheim Collections Art exhibition 2021), (Open Windows by VAV Art gallery 2021). And had collectors in the US and Mexico

Fela’s Demonstration Of Craze: Nothing has changed since Nigerian Afrobeat music pioneer, Olufela Olusegun Oludotun Ransome-Kuti, known professionally as Fela Anikulapo Kuti, or simply Fela, gave his own epic and hilarious breakdown of Democracy [1980]. As Nigerians all over the world remember and celebrate Democracy Day on June 12, yearly.
Fela described Democracy as simply Demonstration of Craze. Looking at it critically, it makes all the sense that there is to be derived from the word. Nigerians have not only been crying from time immemorial, it is not a different scenario today as the same hands are still running the cabal. Nothing has changed, despite the ‘change’ mantrum.
Here’s what he said, “Now I mentioned Democracy. In English, an English man...

Melanated Queen
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
"Melanated Queen" is more than just a painting; it's a tribute to the beauty that resides within melanin-rich individuals and an homage to the resilience of African queens throughout history. Odetomi expertly captures the essence of this woman, her features exuding confidence and pride. The warm, earthy tones used to depict her skin convey a sense of strength and natural beauty, while the rose flower ribbon symbolizes femininity and grace.
The woman's posture in the painting is a testament to the empowerment of women, especially women of color. Her regal posture and unyielding gaze project an aura of self-assuredness, breaking free from the limiting stereotypes that have plagued the representation of African women in art for centuries. Odetomi's brushstrokes artfully depict the subtle yet powerful transformation of vulnerability into strength, revealing the queen-like qualities present within every woman.
Central to the artwork is the rose flower ribbon adorning the woman's hair. The rose has long been associated with love, beauty, and passion, and its presence here infuses the painting with a sense of romance and elegance. Moreover, the rose flower ribbon serves as a symbol of the interconnectedness between nature and the woman's identity. It highlights the harmony she shares with the world around her, as well as her ability to nurture and cultivate beauty in her surroundings.
