Tosin Oyeniyi Black Beauty 2022
2022
About the Item
Endearing and enticing,
skin smooth like glass,
my face on her body like she is a mirror,
glistering and shining.
Black yet beautiful,
naive yet knowledgeable.
Eyes that could see through the pain,
read through laughter,
bring men to the melting point,
the voice that could save a soul
order mighty men of valor,
stop the cries of an infant
and send chills to the heart of admirers.
Bossom that could bear the burden
shelter tired souls like my Lazarus
that could satisfy men with
burning passion and make them cold as ice.

Tosin Oyeniyi is an intrinsically talented Print-Making Artist who hails from Ogbomosho, Oyo State, Nigeria where he spent his childhood and teenage years. He bags his degree from the prestigious Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) where he studied Fine and Applied Arts and graduated as a Graphics specialist. Tosin becomes inspired by his unquenchable passion to preserve and project African culture to the global arena. Through his craft, he’s unrepentantly determined to give beauty to the sight; heal emotional wounds and injuries; emphasize love; preach peaceful co-existence; highlight societal ills and injustices; advocate for the teeming poor; unite families and bind lesions that are occasioned by inevitable disagreements; educate the black youths about her brave legends; reconcile the blacks with her beautiful roots; magnify the creator for His wonderful creations. Tosin has since stuck with a similitude of an even blend of naturalism and post-expressionism as he colorfully and ingeniously shares the rich and vast African beauty, stories, sceneries, and culture with the rest of the world through Lino Prints. His Techniques give particular attention to perfect registration and toner graduation while deliberately creating horizontal lines all over. It explores the beauty in chiaroscuro and aerial perspective while facial contours are colorfully mapped-out with divisive lines. A technique combination that is still largely overlooked in the world of Printmaking. His works have been exhibited nationally and internationally, and his works have been acquired by many private collectors in Tunisia, the United States, England, and others. In Addition, His art has been featured in both national and international publications.
