About the Item
"Chic Happens" is a striking artwork created by the talented artist, Wande Oseni. The piece depicts a woman figure in a blue dress, which is actually a unique combination of trousers and a suit. The artwork is a celebration of the modern woman, who is strong, powerful, and confident.
The woman in the artwork stands tall and proud, exuding a sense of confidence and poise. Her blue outfit is both elegant and powerful, with its sleek lines and sharp tailoring. The color blue has always been associated with trust, loyalty, and stability, and the use of this color in the artwork highlights the importance of these qualities in the modern woman.
The woman's stance in the artwork is also significant. This posture suggests that she is in control of her life and is unafraid to take charge of any situation. The woman's expression is calm and composed, yet there is a hint of determination and strength in her.
The use of the trouser and suit to create the blue dress in the artwork is an interesting and unique approach. It challenges traditional notions of femininity and highlights the importance of breaking free from gender stereotypes. The woman in the artwork is not afraid to challenge the status quo and make a statement with her clothing.
Overall, "Chic Happens" is a powerful and inspiring artwork that celebrates the modern woman. It reminds us that women are capable of achieving anything they set their minds to, and that they should never be afraid to be themselves. The artwork is a testament to the strength, resilience, and beauty of women, and it is sure to resonate with anyone who has ever felt empowered by their own sense of style and confidence.
My latest body of work draws from personal experiences with encountering social bias, pressures, and expectations of what and how a woman should be while admiring and finding strength in women overcoming these issues. Through my works, I set out to connect audiences to the different facets of femininity, ranging from power to weakness, beautiful to unpleasantness.
