Maiden Voyage Painting

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.

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.
