"The Nation Builder"
The work delicately draws on shapes and forms and intricately weaves them into the theme of nation building, with the surreal and elegant feature of the Nubian woman floating seamlessly across the work.
Michael, uses colours woven delicately into the “Adire”, (African print fabric) to bring the image and its message to life.
The predominantly yellow colours, demonstrate the power of the Nubian woman. The red colours illustrates the deep foundation of love as the building blocks of strong family units.
The green and white colours of the fabric shows the resulting growth and peace of the “nation”, fostered by the woman.
A masterpiece from Michael Adenubi.
