Emotan (Becoming Series)
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
Emotan is an original painting by Barnabas Macauley. Emotan was created with Mixed Media (Charcoal, Acrylic, and Pencil on a primed 24W by 30H inches canvas.
Emotan (real name Uwarraye) was a 15th-century market woman who plied her trade at the Oba Market in the ancient kingdom of Benin during the reign of Oba Uwaifiokun and Oba Ewuare the Great. She was known for her humanitarian work, love for children, and most importantly the key role she played during the period of Prince Ogun’s (Oba Ewuare I) succession travails following his time in exile.
Although Emotan had no biological children of her own, Emotan loved and took care of many children in her foster home. Some parents would send their children to live with Emotan and learn some trades from her for a period of time. She also kept and trained orphans, many of which indeed became industrious and useful members of society. (Osaze Amadasun)
In this Becoming series, I hope to revive our heritage as well as examine the intricacies of self-actualization, vis-a-vis drawing inspiration from the African history from the Benin and Esan perspective, contemporarily.

About Artist
Macaulay Barnabas Osagie is a self-taught Artist and a graduate of the prestigious University of Benin, Nigeria, West Africa. Hailed from Benin heritage, which is known for its rich history, culture, and traditions. Growing up, He was fascinated by esthetics as a form of expression; this propelled his journey into the world of art. His passion for art began at the age of five, scribbling images on the ground using sticks—it evolved into drawings in primary and secondary schools. He was often selected among students to represent my secondary school in various art competitions.
"Knowing that Art fuels my existence and helps me connect with the world better, in 2018, I decided to not only do art for love and relief, but to explore it professionally, and build a renowned career in the industry. One that reflects my views on societal issues and serves as an echo of hope. Determined to pay my dues, I had the privilege of working at Prince Saheed Adelakun's Olokun Art Studio in Abule-Egba, Lagos. It was there I met with other professionals. I created my first series titled "Odan Series"; which was expressed via hyperrealism. I created this series at the point when my life was in shambles; I was going through a rough phase; working on this series was my solace at the time.
"Over the years, I have created brilliant artworks using charcoal and pencil on paper and have evolved using acrylic and charcoal on canvas as my primary media of visual articulation; these works take various forms and for various purposes, all a reflection of my creativity and depth. I am drawn to figurative African contemporary art and surrealism...

Leader and Followers
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
"Leader and Followers" is a visually striking piece of art that immediately captures the viewer's attention. The artwork, which was created using a combination of oil colors, features a central figure standing tall and confident, representing the "Leader." Surrounding this central figure are several smaller figures, representing the "Followers."
Azeez's "Leader and Followers" is a profound allegory that explores the complex dynamics between leaders and their followers in society. The central figure, portrayed as powerful and charismatic, serves as a representation of leadership. This character appears larger than life, evoking a sense of authority and control.
The surrounding smaller figures represent the followers, who, in contrast, appear diminutive and fragmented. Their faces are obscured, and their bodies are twisted and contorted, symbolizing the idea that followers may often lose their individuality and autonomy in their pursuit of leadership. Azeez seems to suggest that leaders can exert a significant influence over their followers, shaping their thoughts, behaviors, and even identities.
"Leader and Followers" challenges viewers to reconsider their assumptions about leadership and followership. It raises questions about the responsibilities of leaders, the agency of followers, and the potential for both positive and negative outcomes when these roles intersect.
Azeez's work invites us to reflect on the role of leadership in shaping society. It prompts us to ask whether leaders should be held accountable for the actions and choices of their followers. It also encourages us to consider the ethical implications of the power that leaders wield over their followers.

Spring of Hope
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
"Spring of Hope," encapsulates the essence of the artwork. Just as spring represents a season of rejuvenation and new beginnings, the woman in this piece embodies the idea of hope blooming anew. The flowing scarf, with its gentle and fluid movement, conjures images of a gentle breeze, carrying with it the promise of better days ahead.
Oyindamola's use of color in "Spring of Hope" is both intentional and evocative. She employs soft, pastel hues that evoke a sense of serenity and optimism. The woman's visage radiates tranquility, and her eyes suggest a moment of introspection and inner peace. It's as if she is embracing the beauty of the present while eagerly anticipating the opportunities that the future may hold.
The central figure in "Spring of Hope" is rendered with remarkable attention to detail. Oyindamola captures the elegance and grace of the woman, who exudes a sense of poise and strength. Her closed eyes convey a sense of trust and surrender, suggesting a willingness to embrace the unknown with open arms.
Symbolism plays a crucial role in this artwork. The scarf, flowing around the woman's neck, is a powerful symbol of continuity and resilience. It represents the idea that no matter the challenges faced, there is always a thread of hope that connects us to a brighter future. The scarf's circular form also signifies the cyclical nature of life, where endings inevitably give way to new beginnings.
"Spring of Hope" is a painting that resonates deeply with viewers, inviting them to reflect on the ever-present possibility of renewal in their own lives. The closed eyes of the woman encourage introspection and a sense of connection with the universal human experience of longing for better days.

I Need Some Love 2
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
The focal point of the artwork, the man's free-flowing dreadlocks, serves as a potent symbol of individuality and cultural diversity. In many cultures, dreadlocks have deep-rooted historical and spiritual significance, representing a unique connection to heritage, self-expression, and identity. By emphasizing the man's hair in the portrait, Adetula calls attention to the fact that discrimination often arises from superficial judgments based on appearance, whether it be hairstyles, clothing choices, or language differences.
The artwork's title, "I Need Some Love," conveys a heartfelt plea for compassion and understanding. It reminds us that discrimination and prejudice have no place in a harmonious and inclusive society. Adetula's creation urges us to break free from these harmful mindsets and cultivate a culture of empathy and acceptance toward one another.
The message of the artwork resonates strongly with the call to let love prevail, irrespective of one's origin or outward appearance. Discrimination, whether conscious or unconscious, hinders our collective progress as a society. It erects barriers between individuals and communities, fostering mistrust and animosity.
Adetula's artwork encourages us to dismantle these barriers and build bridges instead. Embracing diversity enriches our lives, broadens our perspectives, and fosters a climate of respect and unity. The man's free-flowing dreadlocks symbolize the beauty of embracing cultural differences and recognizing the uniqueness that each individual brings to the table.
Moreover, "I Need Some Love" emphasizes the power of love as a transformative force. The artwork reminds us that by approaching others with love, compassion, and understanding, we can create an environment where everyone feels valued, respected, and heard. Correcting people with love, rather than judgment or hostility, allows us to foster meaningful connections and open up constructive dialogues, thereby nurturing a culture of growth and understanding.
The man depicted in the artwork is a poignant reminder that every person deserves happiness and love, irrespective of their appearance, background, or language. Embracing diversity not only enhances our interpersonal relationships but also contributes to the betterment of society as a whole. When we treat one another with kindness and empathy, we foster a sense of belonging and acceptance that empowers individuals to thrive and contribute positively to their communities.
In conclusion, "I Need Some Love" by Michael Adetula...

Brothers 1
By Daniel Oguche Junior
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
The bond between brothers, whether by blood or through the strong connection forged by friendship, is truly special. It's amazing how we can find support and solace in those who may not be family but have chosen to be there for us.
Martin Luther rightly said, "We have flown the air like birds and swum the sea like fishes, but we have yet to learn the simple act of walking the earth like brothers". In a collective society, it's crucial for us to embrace the concept of being our brother's keeper. By nurturing a sense of empathy and compassion, we can make a positive difference in each other's lives. Whether it's lending a helping hand, offering a listening ear, or providing support during challenging times, being there for one another creates a stronger and more supportive community.
Let us always cherish and celebrate the unbreakable bond we share with our brothers, both by blood and through the deep connections we form along life's journey. Together, we can create a world where everyone feels loved, supported, and appreciated.

Contemplating Abundance
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
In a world brimming with abundance, a man finds himself caught in the depths of introspection. Lost in thought, he stands before a plate of luscious fruits, their vibrant colors and succulent aromas beckoning to his senses. Yet, his focus transcends the immediate gratification of indulgence as he delves into the realm of profound contemplation.
Contemplating Abundance" captures the complex interplay between the physical and the metaphysical, the material and the intellectual. It prompts us to pause, question, and to appreciate the richness of our existence beyond superficial desires. It urges us to delve deeper, savoring not only the fruits before us but the profound contemplation that accompanies the abundance of life itself.

I Expect
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
"I Expect," serves as a potent invitation to dive into the narrative within the frame. The image of a young woman, dressed in jewelry that exudes elegance and sophistication, immediately captures the eye. Her adornments—exquisite earrings and a white necklace—hint at a longing for beauty, meaning, or something more profound. These symbols of refinement and grace offer a glimpse into the desires that lie within the heart of every individual.
Especially intriguing is the phrase that accompanies the artwork: "What is it you've been waiting for all these while? It's natural for humans to want more out of life. Being in expectation is evidence of hope...." These words shed light on the artist's intention, inviting viewers to consider the motivations behind their own anticipations and yearnings. The choice of earrings and a necklace as accessories in the artwork symbolizes the pursuit of both material and intangible desires—perhaps success, love, fulfillment, or personal growth.

Melanated Queen
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
"Melanated Queen" is more than just a painting; it's a tribute to the beauty that resides within melanin-rich individuals and an homage to the resilience of African queens throughout history. Odetomi expertly captures the essence of this woman, her features exuding confidence and pride. The warm, earthy tones used to depict her skin convey a sense of strength and natural beauty, while the rose flower ribbon symbolizes femininity and grace.
The woman's posture in the painting is a testament to the empowerment of women, especially women of color. Her regal posture and unyielding gaze project an aura of self-assuredness, breaking free from the limiting stereotypes that have plagued the representation of African women in art for centuries. Odetomi's brushstrokes artfully depict the subtle yet powerful transformation of vulnerability into strength, revealing the queen-like qualities present within every woman.
Central to the artwork is the rose flower ribbon adorning the woman's hair. The rose has long been associated with love, beauty, and passion, and its presence here infuses the painting with a sense of romance and elegance. Moreover, the rose flower ribbon serves as a symbol of the interconnectedness between nature and the woman's identity. It highlights the harmony she shares with the world around her, as well as her ability to nurture and cultivate beauty in her surroundings.

I’m Different 3
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
“In Africa, Yoruba land to be precise where I grew up the nourishing attitude of Omoluwabi, our facial looks is been used to define us as a person, a guy with ear piercing and dreadlocks on his head being looked at as a thug, frauds tars, and so on,
Meanwhile, these guys are a cool and calm-hearted person
Though there are guys like these that are truly counted in the act not all of them are like that
Good and God fearing youth still exist”

Assurance. There's nothing more sane in this ever-changing world with its dynamic than assurance. Knowing that despite the frustration that sometimes comes with tackling this multifaceted world, we are in God's hands, is a comforting phenomenon.

The intricate details of the hairstyle signify care, patience, and meticulousness. It is a testament to the dedication and creativity of the artist in showcasing the unique and transformative power of hair as a symbol of beauty and self-expression.
The woman's back turned towards the viewer adds a layer of intrigue and mystery to the artwork. It invites us to reflect on the significance of perspective and challenges us to consider the untold stories and hidden strengths that lie within individuals. The positioning of the subject symbolizes resilience, self-assuredness, and an unwavering determination to face life's challenges head-on.
"Unstoppable" is a celebration of feminine strength, independence, and self-empowerment. The woman depicted in the artwork embodies the essence of resilience, emphasizing that individuals have the power to overcome obstacles, embrace their uniqueness, and forge their own paths.
The meticulously crafted hairstyle represents the transformative nature of personal identity. It highlights the ability to express oneself authentically, irrespective of societal expectations or limitations.

Healer Also Needs Healing II
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
"Healer Also Needs Healing" is an evocative portrait that invites viewers to explore the inner world of the subject. The woman depicted exudes a sense of strength and serenity, her eyes gazing into the distance with a mix of determination and vulnerability. Ganiyat masterfully captures the delicate balance between the external projection of strength and the internal longing for healing.
The woman's visage is rendered in exquisite detail, with every brushstroke contributing to the depth of her character. Her features reflect a life well-lived, marked by experiences both joyful and painful. The artist employs a subtle yet profound use of color, emphasizing warm and earthy tones that evoke a sense of grounding and connection to nature. The intricate interplay of light and shadow further adds dimension and intensity to the subject's expression.
Abdulazeez's artwork conveys a powerful message about the often-overlooked struggles faced by those in nurturing roles. By focusing on a healer, traditionally associated with strength and selflessness, the artist challenges the notion that caregivers are immune to their own wounds. The title itself, "Healer Also Needs Healing," emphasizes this essential truth and serves as a reminder to viewers to extend compassion to those who are constantly providing it to others.
The woman's serene yet contemplative expression embodies the dichotomy between the need to heal and the strength required to carry the burden of others' pain. Her distant gaze hints at an internal world, perhaps filled with personal battles, memories, or unvoiced emotions. It invites viewers to reflect on the toll that caregiving roles can take on individuals, urging them to recognize the importance of self-care and nurturing their own well-being.
Moreover, the subtle details within the artwork contribute to its symbolic depth. The presence of natural elements, such as flowers or leaves entwined in the woman's hair or adorning her attire, suggests a connection to the healing power of nature and the cycle of growth and renewal. These elements symbolize the potential for personal transformation and rejuvenation, highlighting the importance of self-nurture for healers and caregivers alike.
