Bakare Abubakri-sideeq Babatunde
Resilient Beauty

2023

About the Item

The painting is a stunning portrait of a black African woman with an intricate afro hairstyle that dominates the canvas. The use of vibrant oil colors on Ankara fabric gives the painting a rich texture and a sense of depth as if the woman is emerging from the fabric itself. The woman's gaze is direct and unwavering, conveying a sense of strength and resilience in the face of adversity. The Ankara fabric, a traditional African textile, adds a cultural dimension to the painting, highlighting the importance of heritage and identity. The combination of traditional fabric and contemporary art techniques makes the painting a unique and powerful piece that celebrates the beauty and strength of black African women. The painting invites the audience to appreciate the rich cultural heritage and diversity of Africa and to recognize the beauty and power of African women. 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 Bakare Babatunde Oluwadamilare was born in Ogun State, Nigeria. He completed his high school education in Lagos State and later pursued his tertiary education in Kwara State, where he obtained a Higher National Diploma in Library and Information Science. From a young age, he had a passion for art and was a self-taught artist. Over the years, he experimented with various mediums, but his favorite mediums are oil and acrylic on canvas and African wax prints in Ankara. His subject matter focuses on figure and portraiture, which aims to portray human emotions, experiences, and challenges. His paintings offer a unique perspective, interpreting his thoughts on canvas and African wax prints in Ankara. Recently, he started working on a series of paintings on Ankara fabrics as support. He was fascinated by the vibrant colors and patterns of the Ankara fabric, which inspired this discovery. He has participated in various art competitions and exhibitions, including the iCreate skill festival in 2017 and the ijakadi festival as an exhibitor. His works have been sold both in Nigeria and abroad, and he continues to create thought-provoking pieces that captivate and inspire his viewers.

Arise!!!
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
Nigerians arise, brothers and sisters that believe in the union called Nigeria, ARISE!!! The green-white-green t-shirt has turned to rag on us, let us let go of any excuses to keep folding our arms when we can certainly unfold it and un-tape the sellotape in our mouth. Let us emancipate ourselves from (mental, religious, and tribal) slavery, no one but ourselves can free our minds! Let us serve our fatherland with love in the little way we can and stop following our leaders who want to divide us because of their selfish gain. While we arise to unfold our arms and un-tape the sellotape on our mouth, let us speak up, Let us preach love, not hatred, tolerance, not intolerance, peace and not violence, revolution not crises.
