About The Artwork

This is a series of my works exhibited at Tate Britain,London in 2007 as organized by "Imagine Art After" curated by Breda Beban (late sadly). The title of the series is "Courts of Influence, made in 2007 Here is the Alake of Egbaland and the Olumo Rock of the town of Abeokuta, In Ogun State, Nigeria. It brought into reckoning the question of the role of monarchy if any, in modern governance especially in Africa. This project explored the Yoruba nationality which spread beyond Nigeria. Nigeria and the Republic of Benin were documented. The Kings or Obas were and are first class Kings of the progenitor of the Yoruba race, Oduduwa. Each King's portrait is assembled as a diptych with a photograph of his domain or his people as the case may be. (The works were made on medium format film camera. Restoration was done on the negatives BUT there is a semblance of nuances of slight shift in colour,depict classic nature of the medium) ======================= ***Price is the total for the two pictures (printed as approximately 40 inches and 30 inches each) Signed by me and numbered with certificate of authenticity!

Since I am in semi retirement, I decided to brush up my creative skills that include painting, design, crafting and more.. These were hibernating as I pursued other careers.of over 30 plus years in the other industries. My works would be a buffet. If you could ask me of my artistic or painting style, media or the subject or a theme that aught to be my staple, I would rather leave those for now. The current thing is simply what is attached to my name! At this time, artistic freedom is it. I want to be cathartic and explore here and abroad. My reflections of tortuous past and victories and the present.. Where I see a semblance across the world of the past and present, as long as they give me joy and hopefully they resonate with like minds as collectors. So my day would have been made, that I have travel companions of this life in such people. For the curious, may be with time, you could label my style or noticed a recurring leaning of my thoughts, strokes of the brush or techniques, varied subjects and preferences. I just want to be free. My name presently is my Style. https://muyiwaosifuye.com/collectibles/
