In an African setting where it is believed that serious matters are to be handled or solved by the wisdom of the aged. In this painting series, you see four aged chiefs trying to find ways of acquiring some information from a ‘prestigious’ mad woman who was resting calmly in her zone. Things turned out not as planned. They soon find themselves in a state of commotion because some situations cannot be controlled by just wisdom but certain measures must be taken.
This series is a sarcastic representation of our country where the aged are given opportunities to handle critical situations or given high positions as it is believed they are more experienced and wiser. Even when positive results are not yielded, they are still left to take control of profound solutions. Why not put in charge young creative and active minds with great measures of innovations while the aged with experiences guide the footsteps taken by the young; therefore, bringing about huge growth and development?
About Artist
Naomi Oyeniyi is a contemporary Nigerian artist who earned her Bachelor of Arts degree from the Department of Fine and Applied Arts at Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, with a specialization in painting.
Naomi’s art is an amalgamation of her personal experiences, drawing inspiration from psychology, spirituality, social-cultural dynamics, my immediate environment, and observations of the world. Each of her artworks tells a unique story, encapsulating the essence of thoughts transformed into tangible form. She uses vibrant colors and bold contrasts to convey the emotional depth of each idea, while subtle textures and intricate details symbolize the complexity of our consciousness.
Her technique involves the meticulous layering of colors using a palette knife, resulting in fractured lines that coalesce into figurative subjects. she painstakingly attends to details, employing deliberate brushstrokes to strike a delicate balance between realism, impressionism, and surrealism.
While Naomi's works have gathered recognition both nationally and globally, her dedication lies in making a lasting impact and contributing positively to her generation. As an artist, she embraces evolution, continually welcoming fresh ideas and pushing the boundaries of her creativity. Her aspiration is for her art to serve as a source of inspiration, provocation, and introspection for all who encounter it.
Naomi's prowess extends beyond the canvas; she has been featured in various group exhibitions and participates in art workshops. In 2020, she was awarded the prestigious title of “Winner”, representing Nigeria, in the International Visual Art Painting Category of the African Union Feminist Program. This achievement shows her exceptional talent and her ability to transcend cultural boundaries with her art. Beyond her art, she has lent her expertise to Teach for Nigeria, serving as a Fellow to educate students in underserved schools within low-income communities. A member of the Society of Nigerian Artists (SNA) and the Female Artists Association of Nigeria (FEAAN).

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.

Artist: Julius Njau – Tanzanian (1961- )

This colorful painting of figures is by the well-known Tanzanian artist Julius Njau. It is in very good condition and signed “Julius N” and dated 1987 in the lower right. The frame is simple unfinished wood. It has a few small scratches
Tanzanian artist Julius Njau was born in 1961 Marangu, Moshi in Tanzania. He attended the Primary School Kilimanja. In 1972, a serious fracture of the leg caused him to spend two years in hospital where he began to paint and his career as an artist commenced. Julius was encouraged by a Finnish radiology specialist who supplied him with material and purchased his works. She also organized his first exhibition in Finland in 1983. The first works of Njau are very representative, inspired by the nature and the traditional aspects of his country. In 1984 his technique changed and his style transformed. Julius Njau paintings are characterised by the interaction of primary colors and the mixture of forms. Julius Njau's artworks works are part of the collection of Osaka Prefecture and Toyama Museum of Modern Art in Japan. They are also in the Frankfurt Museum of Ethnology (fur Volkerkunde), in the ZAK Gallery (Zeitgenossische afrikanische Kunst), Furth in Germany, in the Amos Anderson Helsinki Gallery, Finland, and in the 5th British Museum in England. In 2002, Julius Njau received a Nagoya City Hall Award and in 2003 the Grand Prize at the Toyama Prefecture International Competition at the "Sukiyaki Encounter the World" Poster Design Festival. Julius Njau is President and a founding member of the Marafiki group.
