Odesola Idowu
Most Expensive Bed - 21st Century, Contemporary, Figurative, Portrait, Hospital

2024

About the Item

In this vivid and emotionally charged painting, the artist captures a profound narrative of resilience, sacrifice, and the fragile thread between life and loss. The central figure, a woman dressed in a striking blue, secures her hair with a steady resolve—a symbolic gesture of preparation, strength, and unwavering determination. Her piercing gaze tells a story of unspoken burdens and silent battles fought in the corridors of time. Beside her, a patient lies on a hospital bed, connected to life-sustaining machines. This is “the most expensive bed”—a place where wealth holds no power against the inevitability of fate, where moments become currency, and love becomes the only true measure of value. The background, rich with intricate patterns and bold green hues, suggests the complexity of life’s journey—its interconnected paths, cultural roots, and the omnipresence of time, signified by the clock on the wall. This piece speaks volumes about the sacrifices made by caregivers, the weight of responsibility, and the stark contrast between strength and vulnerability. It invites us to reflect on what truly matters in the fleeting dance between health and illness, presence and absence, life and the unknown beyond.
