About the Item
In the sway of limbs and the curve of painted lines, I am free, unshackled from judgment, from expectations. Dance allows me to cry in silence, to rejoice without reason, to be weird, to be whole. It is my communion with self, with ancestors, with nature, with the unseen force that guides my body and my heart. And one with God, so I dance and watch the wind cheer for they are all with me
This piece expresses the therapeutic interest in dance and body movement.

About Artist
Jethro King Oluwatosin is a multidisciplinary artist, delving deep into the spiritual essence of dance, utilizing the human body as his expressive canvas, and passionately revitalizing the lost African heritage.
Originating from Ogbomosho, nestled in the heart of Oyo State, Nigeria, Jethro's journey led him to pursue Art and Industrial Design at Lagos State Polytechnic, now Lagos State University of Science and Technology.
His artistic repertoire primarily comprises paintings adorned with intricate lines and symbols, a practice he dubs "The African Mantra." Jethro's ingenuity lies in his ability to explore the therapeutic aspects of hobbies and vulnerability, as evidenced by his journey where dance becomes a powerful antidote against negativity, a beacon of hope, and a means of purging toxic emotions. He portrays body movements, a fluidity that is inspired by his profound ability to his and others’ feelings through body painting.
His artistic expression knows no bounds, finding resonance on various surfaces, particularly the human form, walls, and canvas, where he breathes life into his narratives.
ARTIST STATEMENT
My art is movement, a rhythm etched onto bodies and canvases alike. Dance is my prayer, my release, my laughter in the face of the unknown. It is where my emotions find language, where my spirit speaks without words.
Every stroke I paint carries the pulse of my steps, the echo of my body surrendering to music only I can hear. My work is the reflection of that rhythm, bold, unfiltered, alive. Through it, I heal. Through it, I exist.
