Artwork

Jada Fire as Osun, smallABOUT MY WORK: I create ritualistic pop art that is heavily influenced by African belief systems, outsider expressionism and counterculture. With the physicality of low-relief assemblage, my predominantly photo-based, mixed-media paintings are a complex of the contemporary and the arcane and address the gendered experience, in terms of earthly conditions converging with the metaphysical. My underlying theme dwells on how one passes through affliction to a place of self-possession.
