About The Artwork

This Piece seek to address a global feminist ,as well Strength of a women... With the resolute female image in the work..artist portray a beautiful lady carried Efuru book in her hand..The hand cover version of the book Efuru showing a black woman on a canoe. Efuru is eponymous novel by Flora Nwapa which was published in 1966 in Heinemann's African Writer series, making it the first book written by a Nigerian woman to be published. This piece depicts the strength of a beautiful African woman.. The book came out to be a well written book with a profound message. The color red in the piece reflect the shade of a flower.. Women is like a sunset of flower, Most times people just see the beauty and grace . They don't know the hurts, pains and bruises she goes through to stay beautiful and strong. Color yellow in the piece talk about freshness, happiness, energy, clarity, intellect, loyalty of Efuru.. I see Flora Nwapa as one of the most relevant women because of her achievements as a foremost woman novelist in an environment and adventures that had been dominated by men..

Omoyeni Arogunmati is an award-winning visual artist born in Nigeria, She is currently Blkarthouse Artist Advisory Board Member and also WO Foundation member. Her love for art began at a young age, this encouraged her to study Fine Art at the Polytechnic Of Ibadan, Nigeria. Omoyeni expresses her thoughts and feelings through a series of identical portraits painted in an impressionist style with varied degrees of abstraction. Her passions expose fundamental human feelings, exploits, and events, both exterior and intimate. She concentrates on the representation of human facial gestures through abstraction and simplification, making works that reference both impressionism and abstract art trends. The degree of abstraction changes only slightly from painting to painting, which has been a source of contention because it prevents visual conformity. Short and long brush and palette knife strokes filled with a mass dollop of oil or acrylic paint applied on canvas are featured in her work. This technique gives a layered impression and textured look. She uses only a few shades of color, paints a large area with one bright main color, and then emphasizes it with smaller highlights of other primary colors. Her whole palette is composed of black and raw color blends, with the white of her canvas serving as a contrast to the dark tones,One simple thing like the eyes and undefined nose and mouth with out pupils. Omoyeni's works follow the trends of Carlos Delgado's "Faces of the System" collection, displaying comparable expressions in various facial moods. They are the emotional expression of her inspiration and experiences. She has established projected work collections, which are represented by a number of art galleries both at home and abroad and can be found in private collections. She hopes that her work will bring light and relief to others, as she believes that art should be used to spread positivity in all forms.
