About the Item
An ode of false bonds, depicts a compelling narrative of betrayal and fractured connections, intensifying the sense of delusional emotion and attachment, whereby people tend to be together through thin fragmented, and pixelated lines of unravelling relationship. The composition shows contemplation, distrust, and complex deceit that leads to a woke emotional wreck among brothers who are believed to be one.

Artist Statement
The ideas, issues and events arising from man's quest to contain and contend with these forces form the subject of my paintings. Given this background, my paintings are subtle but much defined with interlocking and wedges of colour combined like a mosaic to produce a solid, architectural structure, enhanced by the textured surface of the paint with women accorded with prominent attention, focus and more emphasis in my composition.
Women live in a male-dominated society, based on local cultural traditions with few rights and are at the receiving end of men's activities and yet strive to eke out and sustain living.
I celebrate them by weaving my composition around them during their hours of need, joy, pain, and other human activities.
