I Expect
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
"I Expect," serves as a potent invitation to dive into the narrative within the frame. The image of a young woman, dressed in jewelry that exudes elegance and sophistication, immediately captures the eye. Her adornments—exquisite earrings and a white necklace—hint at a longing for beauty, meaning, or something more profound. These symbols of refinement and grace offer a glimpse into the desires that lie within the heart of every individual.
Especially intriguing is the phrase that accompanies the artwork: "What is it you've been waiting for all these while? It's natural for humans to want more out of life. Being in expectation is evidence of hope...." These words shed light on the artist's intention, inviting viewers to consider the motivations behind their own anticipations and yearnings. The choice of earrings and a necklace as accessories in the artwork symbolizes the pursuit of both material and intangible desires—perhaps success, love, fulfillment, or personal growth.

I Need Some Love 2
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
The focal point of the artwork, the man's free-flowing dreadlocks, serves as a potent symbol of individuality and cultural diversity. In many cultures, dreadlocks have deep-rooted historical and spiritual significance, representing a unique connection to heritage, self-expression, and identity. By emphasizing the man's hair in the portrait, Adetula calls attention to the fact that discrimination often arises from superficial judgments based on appearance, whether it be hairstyles, clothing choices, or language differences.
The artwork's title, "I Need Some Love," conveys a heartfelt plea for compassion and understanding. It reminds us that discrimination and prejudice have no place in a harmonious and inclusive society. Adetula's creation urges us to break free from these harmful mindsets and cultivate a culture of empathy and acceptance toward one another.
The message of the artwork resonates strongly with the call to let love prevail, irrespective of one's origin or outward appearance. Discrimination, whether conscious or unconscious, hinders our collective progress as a society. It erects barriers between individuals and communities, fostering mistrust and animosity.
Adetula's artwork encourages us to dismantle these barriers and build bridges instead. Embracing diversity enriches our lives, broadens our perspectives, and fosters a climate of respect and unity. The man's free-flowing dreadlocks symbolize the beauty of embracing cultural differences and recognizing the uniqueness that each individual brings to the table.
Moreover, "I Need Some Love" emphasizes the power of love as a transformative force. The artwork reminds us that by approaching others with love, compassion, and understanding, we can create an environment where everyone feels valued, respected, and heard. Correcting people with love, rather than judgment or hostility, allows us to foster meaningful connections and open up constructive dialogues, thereby nurturing a culture of growth and understanding.
The man depicted in the artwork is a poignant reminder that every person deserves happiness and love, irrespective of their appearance, background, or language. Embracing diversity not only enhances our interpersonal relationships but also contributes to the betterment of society as a whole. When we treat one another with kindness and empathy, we foster a sense of belonging and acceptance that empowers individuals to thrive and contribute positively to their communities.
In conclusion, "I Need Some Love" by Michael Adetula...

Symbol of Memories
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
Symbol of Memories 1 is an original painting by Oladimeji Alabi. Oladimeji created the Symbol of Memories with Mixed Media on a 30W by 50H inches primed canvas.
The symbol of Memories is inspired by the story of my childhood.
The objects and signs we grew up with as a child in our homes become symbols of our memories today.
Art has the ability to evoke strong emotions and convey meaningful messages. One such artwork that does just that is "Symbol of Memories," a stunning piece that uses the mother as a symbol of life and hope. This artwork is made even more significant by the use of damask fabric, which was popular among Nigerian women in the late 70s to 90s and used for making gele, the head ties worn by women.
The artwork speaks volumes about the importance of mothers in society. The mother is dressed in a vibrant damask fabric, which adds a sense of richness and texture to the painting.
The use of damask fabric in the painting is significant as it represents a part of Nigerian culture and history. Damask was a popular fashion among Nigerian women in the late 70s to 90s and was used to make gele, the head ties worn by women on special occasions. The fabric is often associated with elegance, sophistication, and beauty, which adds a layer of meaning to the artwork.
The mother in the painting is the focal point of the artwork, symbolizing the importance of mothers in society. Mothers are the backbone of families, providing love, support, and guidance to their children. They are often the ones who hold families together through difficult times, serving as a symbol of hope and resilience.
The use of the damask fabric in the painting also represents the concept of memories. The fabric has a rich history in Nigerian culture, and for many people, it is a symbol of their childhood and the memories they hold dear. The painting serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving memories, both good and bad, and how they shape our lives.
Overall, "Symbol of Memories" is a beautiful piece of art that celebrates the role of mothers in society. The use of damask fabric adds a layer of meaning to the painting, representing the importance of preserving memories and the rich culture of Nigeria.
The mother as a focused subject symbolizes life and hope, the fabric applied in this art is called damask, which was a popular fashion among Nigerian women around the late 70s to 90s used for making gele(the head ties).

My Reflection
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
I walked up to the mirror and I was heartbroken. My heart wandered, earth broken.
I saw my pains, anxiety, lies, and burdens staring at me.
I hated the fact that I might be blind.
My reality has been bound, I realized the mirror might be deceiving; false info I am receiving.
I turned to society due to my uncertainty to be a mirror and it said, you are too kind to be real, too beautiful to serve God, too smart for the Gospel, and too holy for us.
You are lagging behind leaving no mark behind.
Then I turned to the Word and I am reflected for who I am, not perfected for the world. I might be flawed yet there was room for correction.
And it was pointing in the right direction.

The artwork emphasizes that beauty comes in diverse forms and that every woman, regardless of race, age, or background, should be valued and respected. The lady's smile and the necklace she wears become symbols of unity, reminding us of the strength and beauty that arise from embracing diversity.

Help is Coming
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
This striking artwork captures the essence of a shirtless young man in a moment of profound contemplation. His gaze, both pained and optimistic, fixated upon an unseen horizon, offers a captivating entry point into the complex emotional narrative that underlies the piece.
Salaudeen's use of color is masterful, drawing viewers' eyes immediately to the central figure. The young man's skin is rendered in a palette of subtle, earthy tones, emphasizing his vulnerability and humanity. The absence of a shirt lays bare his raw emotions and exposes the vulnerability we all share when facing adversity.
However, it is the juxtaposition of the man's countenance that truly captivates the viewer. The artist has masterfully crafted an expression that is simultaneously heavy with the weight of the world and imbued with an undeniable glimmer of hope. The furrowed brow and furrowed lips are etched with the lines of a thousand struggles, yet his eyes betray a flicker of optimism. This duality is what makes "Help is Coming" so compelling; it encapsulates the human experience of confronting adversity, where pain and hope often intermingle in the most profound ways.
The title, "Help is Coming," adds depth to the narrative woven into the piece. It suggests that, despite the pain etched onto the young man's face, there is a belief in a brighter future, a conviction that support and relief are on the horizon. This message resonates with viewers on a universal level, serving as a reminder that even in the darkest moments, there is the potential for change and improvement.
Salaudeen's technique also deserves special mention. His meticulous attention to detail is evident in the fine lines and textures that make the young man's skin seem almost tangible. The background, although abstract and dreamlike, subtly hints at the broader context of the man's struggles, inviting viewers to interpret the piece through their own experiences and perspectives.
"Help is Coming" is more than just a static image; it is a visual poem that speaks to the shared human experience of pain, resilience, and hope. It encourages us to reflect on our own journeys, reminding us that, no matter how daunting the challenges we face, there is always the potential for relief and redemption.
In a world often filled with chaos and uncertainty, art has the power to provide solace and inspiration. Abdulateef Salaudeen...

Lady in Red
By Daniel Oguche Junior
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
The title, "Lady in Red," sets the tone for the artwork, drawing attention to the woman's commanding presence. Red is a color often associated with passion, power, and sensuality, and in this context, it symbolizes the woman's self-assurance and poise. Her choice of attire reflects her unapologetic embrace of femininity and her willingness to stand out with grace and charm.
The sophisticated hairstyle of the young woman is a captivating element of the artwork. It showcases the artist's attention to detail and skill in portraying intricate features. The hairstyle's complexity symbolizes the complexity of the woman herself – a multi-faceted individual with dreams, aspirations, and a unique personality that shines through her every glance.
