Two portraits made with Tunde Onakoya. One patient, one merciless. A hundred prints of each, numbered and certified, with digital editions on Base. Proceeds from every sale go to Chess in Slums Africa.

The Paintings

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.

The Griot

"The canon was incomplete. I am completing it. Every portrait is an ancestor returning. Every colour a language the colony tried to erase."
