Aso-Oke Father seats a middle-aged male figure at a traditional Yoruba strip-loom, body leaned slightly forward in concentration, both hands working, head bent toward the cloth he is making. He wears a simple buba and sokoto in the same aso-oke fabric emerging from the loom before him. The strip of aso-oke coming off the loom does not fall forward as it should but rises upward, defying gravity, the finished cloth ascending rather than accumulating at the floor, as if the work is going somewhere rather than simply being made. This beautiful mixed media fine art print is Giclée printed on museum quality 310gsm Textured Fine Art Cotton Rag, limited to just 20 prints in the world. A Nigerian painting about male craft, creative inheritance, and the quiet dignity of making things with your hands, available at Naija Art Store.
