About the Item

The painting is about a brand of popular portable audio players manufactured and marketed by Sony since 1979. The original Walkman was a portable cassette player and its popularity made "Walkman" an unofficial term for personal stereos of any producer or brand. By 2010, when production stopped, Sony had built about 200 million cassette-based Walkmans. The Walkman brand was extended to serve most of Sony's portable audio devices, including DAT players, MiniDisc players/recorders, CD players (originally Discman then renamed the CD Walkman), transistor radios, mobile phones, and digital audio/media players.

About Artist Morakinyo Femi is a visual artist born in Akure, Ondo State Nigeria in 1984. At an early age, Femi was intrigued by the stamps collected by his banker father which have now become a significant source of inspiration for his art style. Femi lived briefly with his grandmother, a connoisseur of old textiles, hand-painted aluminum pans, and vintage items at an early age. He was captivated by most of these items and spent a great deal of time drawing them. A Fine Art graduate of Yaba College of Technology in Lagos, Femi is currently a Senior Art Director at a leading digital advertising agency in Lagos, Nigeria where he works across diverse areas such as motion graphics, illustrations, and designs. As an artist, Femi explores classic and stunning storytelling, capable of evoking nostalgic feelings and taking his viewers on a journey of visual pleasure using his unique stylized painting employing acrylic, oil, charcoal, and pastel mediums. He portrays his love for vintage art by fusing antique objects into everyday scenarios in dramatic and sometimes amusing ways.
