This artwork is really self explanatory, it depicts the role of “Mawu” in my native Yoruba language which means Orisha of the Sun & the Moon also in layman’s terms can be referred to as “Goddess of Light”. As you can see in the image it shows a woman in her white robe and beads adorning her body including her head; and she’s holding a calabash (in the form of a crystal glass ball as those used by soothsayers for telling fortunes) carefully nurturing it into life while other calabashes are seen floating around in the surface (Calabash in this image represents different Zones/Globes). Why i was inspired to draw this piece? well just like the other Orishas (Goddesses) i often wondered how they each operated. Like for example how the Orisha Mawu would set the sun up to light up the day also the moon at night when the earth is dark. And it was this imagination that led me into creating what you see right before your very eyes.

Muri’s surrealistic works are what one of his mentors, Salvador Dali describes as “handmade photographs,” visible in the galleries of wealthy connoisseurs and Corporate institutions. He deploys with exquisite sophistry, an unusual interpretation of themes, meticulously rendered with accurate precision. He is also listed the International Art Repository of the SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTE of WHO is WHO in African Art. His surrealistic works are what one of his mentors, Salvador Dali describes as “handmade photographs,” visible in the galleries of wealthy connoisseurs and Corporate institutions. He deploys with exquisite sophistry, an unusual interpretation of themes, meticulously rendered with accurate precision. Women recure in his works and Adejimi’s ode to womanhood is the eclectic “PIROUETTE: STUDY, BALLET DANCER” c.1986. His deft transmogrification of a functional utensil, an opener, to a lyrical whirl of a ballerina, part human and part corkscrew... adorned with symbolic ornaments; waist beads, a white handkerchief and horsehair symbolising peace and authority...tapering her beautiful legs into a corkscrew! The symbolography is a hidden revelation: A woman is God’s divine opener, the gateway to life! His uncanny ability to engage his viewers is remarkable, imaginative and intelectually thrilling. His latest offerings; AFRICAN BRIDE, THE EMERGENCE OF THE LION...in this collaboration invites you to this interaction*. Mr. Adejimi’s passion and artistic pre-occupation is his continuous study of human behaviour and societal foibles and his major commitment is to record “ASA IBILE” our cultural heritage before it goes into extinction.
