Naija Realities (unframed) Painting

"Naija Realities" is a captivating painting collection showcasing the diversity and cultural richness of Nigeria through the attire and expressions of three Nigerian men. Each painting represents a different Nigerian tribe—the Igbo, Hausa, and Yoruba—depicted in their traditional attire and embodying unique aspects of Nigerian culture and language. The paintings in "Naija Realities" blend realism with a touch of caricature, capturing the essence of Nigerian culture in a colorful and expressive manner. The detailed portrayal of the men's attire and features adds a sense of authenticity, while the exaggerated features, such as the prominent nose in "Who NOSE Tomorrow," the eyes in "EYE Wey See Get SHARE" and the mouth in "You are MOUTHED" add a playful and symbolic element to the artworks. "Naija Realities" was inspired by my love for Nigerian culture and my desire to celebrate its diversity and uniqueness. I hope viewers will feel a sense of pride and appreciation for Nigerian culture and traditions, as well as a curiosity to learn more about the different tribes and languages in Nigeria. I chose the medium of markers and pens for its vibrant colors and ability to capture intricate details, which were essential for depicting the traditional attire and cultural symbols of each tribe. The subject matter of Nigerian men in traditional attire was chosen to showcase the beauty and richness of Nigerian culture, while the style of realistic portrayal with elements of caricature was chosen to add a playful and symbolic layer to the artworks.
