About the Item

The artwork titled "Medusa" features a woman with a sophisticated hairstyle and body parts made of fabrics. This piece of art is a powerful representation of female strength and resilience, with the artist unapologetically portraying the woman's body as a work of art. The name "Medusa" is a nod to the Greek mythological creature, Medusa, who was known for her beautiful but dangerous appearance. In this artwork, the artist has taken the concept of Medusa and turned it on its head, creating a powerful and captivating image of a woman who is unafraid to show her strength and beauty. The sophisticated hairstyle of the woman in the artwork is a testament to Fatunmbi Anjolaoluwa Grace's skill and attention to detail. The intricate braids and weaves symbolize the many challenges that women face in their daily lives, yet they still manage to maintain their composure and elegance. The body parts made of fabrics add another layer of depth to the artwork. The fabrics used are colorful and vibrant, symbolizing the many different facets of womanhood. The use of fabrics also serves as a reminder of the many different roles that women play in society, whether as mothers, daughters, sisters, or friends. Some may argue that the portrayal of the woman's body as a work of art is objectifying, but I believe that this artwork is an unapologetic celebration of the female form. Fatunmbi Anjolaoluwa Grace is not shying away from the fact that women are beautiful and powerful beings, and their bodies should be celebrated and admired. Furthermore, the artist's choice to create this artwork with a woman of color is also significant. The representation of diverse women in art is essential in promoting inclusivity and challenging the traditional beauty standards that have been set by society. In conclusion, the artwork titled "Medusa" is a powerful and unapologetic celebration of female strength and beauty. The artist's use of a sophisticated hairstyle and body parts made of fabrics is a testament to the many different roles that women play in society, and their bodies should be celebrated and admired. This artwork is a reminder that women are not objects to be objectified but are powerful and beautiful beings that deserve to be recognized and celebrated.

Her medium of art is expressed in traditional Adire and Ankara fabric with a blend of acrylic on canvas. Her journey into art began at an early stage while watching her father work on various forms of art as a seasoned professional. For, Arike, Art was second nature as she lived and dreamed of art in an environment beaming with top professionals and ardent art enthusiasts. As she advanced in age with a broader exposure to the vicissitudes of life and a deeper understanding of how human nature transcends and reinvents in a constantly changing circle, her works are consciously impacted by her cultural roots and personal experiences. Arike’s textile art is composed of intricate compositions of layers of fabric, flowery patterns, and detailed attention to the markings of the female features. Her pieces are reflective of her personality as she loves to incorporate vibrant colors and whimsical designs. With her early start in the Art scene, Arike has been able to apprentice under renowned masters in the Art sector like the globally acclaimed proponent of Contemporary Black Art, Oluwole Omofemi. Her work was selected for the prestigious Art fellowship themed: Telling textile tales. The program sponsored by the British council had in attendance notable heavyweights like Uzoma Samuel and Laura Jones among other participants. She successfully presented papers on the forms of Art she practice and the ethics guiding her creative enterprise. She has also been greatly inspired by leading female artists in the likes of Marcellina Akpojotor, Bisa Butler, and Bola Obatuyi, who herself is a fast-rising textile Artist making waves on the international art scene. As an Artist shaped by an authentic need to tell transformative narratives through enchanting motifs, Arike’s aim is to push the boundaries of textile art and to create works that evoke emotion, thoughtfulness, and joy.

Adventure Story 1

Located in Ibadan, Oyo

"Adventure Story" is a homage to the rich cultural traditions passed down through generations. The artwork's protagonist, a male hunter, stands as a representation of the deep-rooted connection between man and nature, as well as the preservation of traditional practices. The wooden local gun he carries symbolizes both the tools of his trade and the ancestral knowledge that has been handed down through time. Bello's artwork prompts us to appreciate the importance of preserving and honoring our cultural heritage. It serves as a reminder that our traditions, rituals, and stories hold invaluable wisdom and provide a link to our past, helping us understand who we are as individuals and as a collective. The central theme of "Adventure Story" revolves around the spirit of adventure, encapsulated by the hunter in the artwork. The headlamp tied around his head signifies his readiness to explore the unknown and face the challenges that lie ahead. It speaks of the courage to navigate unfamiliar territories and the determination to embrace new experiences. The headlamp, traditionally used to illuminate darkness, can also be interpreted metaphorically as a beacon of knowledge and enlightenment. It symbolizes the hunter's quest for wisdom and understanding, highlighting the importance of seeking knowledge as we venture into the uncharted territories of life. Olamilekan Bello...
