About the Item

This expansive blue sky we all share is a global symbol of togetherness. It was set in motion by a group of women in Afghanistan ready to be heard. In 2008, a small group of brave women from a group called RAWA” gathered in war-torn Khandahar wearing a blue scarf to publicly pray for peace and justice in Afghanistan. A surprising 1500 more brave women joined to begin the Blue Scarf movement. In 2009, thousands more women joined the movement with organizing help from Unifem. With this peaceful hike, a global movement was born, blue scarves were brought back from Afghanistan and distributed by peace delegates from Voice for Creative Non-violence (Written by the Artist) Shipping Procedure Ships in a well-protected tube from Nigeria This work is unique, not a print or other type of copy. Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. About Artist Osoba Omoayo George(b.1998 ) is a Nigerian visual artist whose flight as an artist started at the age of fifteen, he was exposed to the world of graffiti, which inspired his interest in the visual arts. At this age, he acquired an interest in personalizing items such as T-shirts, caps, and sneakers, which ultimately prompted him to enroll in an art program at a more advanced educational facility. From there, he graduated from Yaba College of Technology, where he majored in painting and studied art. His legacy centers around him constantly exploring new ways to communicate and express himself through his art style, taking natural forms of color, shape, lines, and textures. Therefore, leaving his works appear similar to their natural state while also looking more dramatic and stylized. Oil paint, acrylic paint, and polymer are mediums he blends with while creating. He is on a flight to promote and build up self-confidence, rebuild elegance and express the beauty in black skin(nature) through his works.

"Blue Towel" is an artistic composition that demands our attention. The woman wrapped in the titular blue towel stands as a metaphor for the delicate nature of the human condition. The choice of a towel, an item commonly associated with comfort, adds a layer of paradox, suggesting that beneath the surface, vulnerability and uncertainty may reside. The color blue further amplifies the artwork's emotive power. Blue, often associated with tranquility, introspection, and depth, offers a subtle insight into the subject's state of mind. It prompts us to consider the significance of self-reflection and the search for personal meaning that lies beneath the facade we present to the world. Bello's "Blue Towel" invites viewers to delve into the multifaceted nature of vulnerability and identity. The woman's posture and gaze suggest introspection as if she is immersed in deep thought, grappling with the layers that make up her sense of self. The vulnerability expressed in her body language encourages us to reflect on our own journeys of self-discovery and the masks we wear to shield our vulnerabilities from the world. The blue towel enveloping the lady can also be interpreted as a symbolic cocoon, representing a transformative stage in her life. It alludes to the moments of introspection and self-exploration that are essential for personal growth and understanding. Just as a caterpillar retreats into a cocoon before emerging as a butterfly, the woman in the artwork may be undergoing her own metamorphosis. Olamilekan Bello...
