PAINTING
Conceptualizing and contextualizing the essence of life, my paintings and drawings essentially are polyglot of multiple thematic and stylistic vocabularies. Often times, it draws from the expansive cultural iconographic contents, divinities and aphorism of my Yoruba roots, to convey a sense of memory, paradigm of spirituality and universal relativity. Other times, it speaks to the beauty of our society, celebrating the positive aspects of humanity: our music, popular cultures and aesthetics. These combination and approach from which my contemporary messages, issues and discourse emerges are passionately enlivened with an engaging and textural use of colors derivable from a fusion of painting surfaces in mixed media and generous brush strokes.

SOCIO-POLITICAL CARTOONS
My socio-political cartoons are more of visual realistic statements than comedies. The thematic breadth of these cartoons is such that no subject, personality or institution is sacrosanct. “I believe in the efficacy of critical and analytical cartoons as a tool for socio-political reformations and re-orientation.” This is more so because pictorial satire uses fewer or no words thereby enabling the reach of its messages to countless of millions who speak different languages and those with limited literacy. The British cartoonist, John Jensen, has said, “Satire without purpose is mere derision.”

Since 1985, my evocative (sometimes, provocative) satires dotted the pages of various newspapers and magazines in Nigeria, United Kingdom and United States of America.

MIXED MEDIA (Wood Inlay/Oil)
For over a decade, I have effectively combined the inlay of maple, rosewood, mahogany, oak and various types of woods into tools for the dissemination of my visual vocabulary. The process becomes more of filling a ‘puzzle game’ but in a more creatively strenuous manner. My infusion of Oil painting on the fiber-textured surface surrounding the wooding imageries, creates visual rhythm as well as enhancing the thematic appeal of his work.

DRAWINGS
My drawing embodies both complete representational features that have a life of its own as well as traditional studies for my paintings or sculptures.

SCULPTURES
On commission, I embrace the durability and strength of the cast-bronze medium to project relevant thematic forms and shapes. My thematic interest is the replication of history or philosophical thoughts that shapes the present and enables the future.
