About the Item
"Eden" by Akinboye Akinola Peter is a provocative and symbolic artwork that invites viewers to contemplate themes of vulnerability, self-discovery, and the intersection between innocence and experience. The title, "Eden," immediately draws parallels to the biblical narrative, suggesting a return to a primal or untouched state.
The choice of depicting two men standing naked but tying a wrapper introduces an intriguing contrast between vulnerability and a subtle attempt at concealment. The act of tying the wrapper becomes a ritualistic and symbolic gesture, alluding to the complexities of self-awareness and the desire for modesty or protection.
The decision to portray the figures with their backs turned to the viewer adds an element of mystery, prompting contemplation about the private, introspective nature of the scene. The viewer becomes an observer, invited to witness a moment of profound intimacy and self-awareness between the two subjects.
"Eden" challenges societal norms and preconceptions about the human form, prompting viewers to question their own perceptions of nudity, vulnerability, and the pursuit of self-understanding. Akinboye Akinola Peter's work encourages a nuanced exploration of the human experience, suggesting that the journey toward self-discovery is both a personal and shared endeavor and that the nakedness depicted here extends beyond the physical to encompass emotional and spiritual aspects.
In "Eden," Akinboye Akinola Peter presents a visually striking and conceptually rich composition that sparks dialogue about the complexities of human nature, the quest for authenticity, and the delicate balance between revelation and concealment.

Energy
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
Oladimeji Alabi, a Nigerian contemporary artist, created a thought-provoking artwork titled "Energy," which emphasizes the essence of energy, both positive and negative, according to African spirituality. The artwork is a vivid depiction of the concept of karma, which is fundamental to African spirituality, and the law of nature, which states that what you give out, you get back in turn.
The central piece of the artwork is a painting of a human figure, seemingly in a state of contemplation with her flowing hair.
"What you give out, you get back in turn." This phrase is a direct reference to the concept of karma, which is prevalent in African spirituality. Karma is the belief that our actions have consequences, and that every action we take has an effect on our lives and the lives of those around us.

According to African spirituality, everything in the universe is interconnected, and energy flows through all things. Positive energy is associated with good fortune, success, and happiness, while negative energy is associated with misfortune, failure, and sadness.
In conclusion, Oladimeji Alabi's artwork "Energy" is a beautiful and thought-provoking piece that embodies the essence of African spirituality. The artwork's central message of karma and the law of nature is a powerful reminder that our actions have consequences and that we must be mindful of the energy we put out into the world. The artwork is a testament to the artist's skill and creativity, and it is sure to leave a lasting impression on all who view it.
