Painting myth into existence. Paintings, sculptures, and prints from the Lagos studio. Stories that refuse to be forgotten.
This is the work I am here to make. Each painting is a single piece, finished by my hand. When it is done, it waits for the one who carries it next.
She is two selves now. The woman she was, and the woman who remains. For Yimika.
The hand stays raised. The angel has already arrived. The inheritance is the moment between.
The Wedding
Twenty-three characters. One ceremony. A procession in oil and canvas.
The first of the Auntys to find her home. Three sisters remain in the studio.
For the wall, the shelf, the room you are still building. Editions and hand-painted prints, signed and numbered.
Available Prints
Limited editions, hand-signed and numbered. New releases first.
Originals are available on a first come, first serve basis. To be considered, you join the register. Registered names are honoured in the order they arrive.
"The canon was incomplete. I am completing it. Every portrait is an ancestor returning. Every colour a language the colony tried to erase."
