About the Item

"King Be Shaved" by James Ogamba Tochukwu is a visually compelling artwork that captures a moment of intimate regality. The scene unfolds with a king about to be shaved, seated in a position of vulnerability yet retaining an air of authority. The queen, positioned nearby, observes the proceedings with a serene gaze, contributing to the overall sense of regal composure. Tochukwu's composition skillfully depicts the juxtaposition of power and vulnerability, as the king, traditionally a symbol of strength and authority, engages in a seemingly mundane act. The act of shaving, usually a personal and private ritual, takes on a ceremonial significance in this portrayal, highlighting the intricacies of royal life. The presence of the queen, attentively observing the scene, adds a layer of complexity to the narrative. Her poised demeanor suggests a shared responsibility and a mutual understanding of the regal duties and traditions. The two bodyguards standing behind the king further emphasize the gravity and ceremonial nature of the moment. "King Be Shaved" invites viewers to contemplate the humanity inherent in even the most exalted figures. The vulnerability depicted in the act of shaving humanizes the king, emphasizing that beneath the royal regalia, there exists a person with personal rituals and moments of reflection. Tochukwu's work not only captures a specific moment in the royal routine but also prompts contemplation on the dynamics of power, the delicate balance between strength and vulnerability, and the shared responsibilities within regal partnerships. "King Be Shaved" is a testament to the artist's ability to infuse depth and nuance into a seemingly ordinary scene, offering viewers a glimpse into the intricate world of royalty.

Nakedness of Truth

Located in Ibadan, Oyo

Nakedness of Truth is an original painting by Abifola Olorunlana. Olorunlana created Nakedness of Truth with Acrylic on a 36W by 48H inches primed canvas. Nakedness of Truth was made over a painting Abifola Olorunlana did and didn't like (an underlying painting depicting four figures fetching water from a river and gossiping about someone they didn't like). The Nakedness of Truth is a painting that advocates for people who belong to the LGBTQ community and salutes their unity in making the movement impactful globally. For years many have stayed reclusive about their true identity due to religious beliefs, societal constructs, and government laws which have left many depressed till their last days, many were even killed for courageously coming out to state their true identity. This is depicted in the painting: dark yellow eyes sticking out of the woods to portray a sense of public rejection, yet my subject boldly stands out of the green woods and leaves to express courage, strength, and power.
