About the Item
Art is often a celebration of beauty, and Olaosun Oluwapelumi's artwork "Black Beauty" is a prime example of this. The artwork depicts a woman with a sophisticated hairstyle, standing sideways on a colorful floral patterned background. The title of the artwork, "Black Beauty," suggests that the piece is a celebration of black women and their unique beauty.
The woman in the artwork is portrayed with a sense of grace and elegance, with her hair styled in a complex pattern that reflects the skill and artistry of black hairdressing. The use of vibrant colors in the background, with the intricate floral patterns, creates a sense of energy and vitality as if the woman is surrounded by a garden of beauty.
The composition of the artwork is well-balanced, with the woman positioned off-center, creating a sense of movement and dynamism. The use of negative space around the figure adds to the sense of elegance and sophistication as if the woman is standing in a grand hall or a royal garden.
One of the most striking aspects of "Black Beauty" is the way that it celebrates black women and their unique beauty. The artwork challenges traditional beauty standards, which often prioritize Eurocentric features, and instead highlights the beauty of black women's features, such as their hair and skin tone.
In addition to celebrating black beauty, the artwork also speaks to the power of self-expression and individuality. The woman's hairstyle is a reflection of her personality and her sense of style, and the artwork encourages viewers to embrace their own unique features and express themselves in their own way.
Overall, "Black Beauty" is a stunning work of art that celebrates the beauty of black women and their unique features. Its message of self-expression and individuality is a powerful one, reminding viewers to embrace their own beauty and celebrate the beauty of those around them.

- Jewel and Chain ILocated in Ibadan, OyoHello, chained beauty! Let’s revisit the echoes of our past. And dent ourselves in the history untold. Golden chains, silver strands, and a black hat, History of our captivity worn with pride. Adorning ourselves in shackles of chains O blessed trinket of slaves! Our new, gracefully obsessed gaze The arrow dug deep into the flesh. While the scream of pain echoes through the air. Our tune of pain is sweet music to their ears. Once a tool of oppression, an object of shame to our ancestors’ grief, Now full regalia of finery, a fashion that masks our misery, In our freedom, we recreate our beauty, once painted in black dirt with a touch of blood stain. Now adorned in pure gold with a touch of pearls. The hat twirls with elegance and class. Yet, echoes our oppression in clear glass. No doubt! Our makeup is like war paint...Category
