About The Artwork

It reminds me of an excerpt on Glissant and opacity from a piece I wrote in Design and Culture: “The late Martiniquan postcolonial theorist Édouard Glissant challenged Western epistemologies on race and identity in the French Antilles by stating that exercising the right to be opaque is a form of resistance to colonial legacy since it pushes back against “creolization,” which can be perceivable as a form of cultural absorption that inevitably leads to cultural erasure. Glissant’s work draws the origins of creolization from the New World colonial legacies of domination. We see effects much like creolization in “normalization” strategies perpetuated through symbolic oppression.” Excerpt from Allies & Decoloniality (Onafuwa 2018)

I use Yoruba principles of art in my work. Some are Ona (the embellishment of form), Ara (creativity), Ere (improvisation), pipe (completeness) and tutu (coolness). I draw inspiration from the work of the 1960s Bay Area figurative expressionists (Diebenkorn, Oliveira, Brown, Wonner, Bischoff, Park etc) as well as Henri Matisse and Mark Rothko.
