First Rain spreads six figures across a wide cinematic frame against a clear electric teal background, each one responding to rain that exists only for them. One face tilts upward with arms spread wide in total surrender. One pair of hands rises to catch invisible drops. One palm extends outward to feel the first contact. One cheek turns sideways to receive it. One body stands completely still and simply absorbs. And one face looks upward with the only broad, open smile in the entire series. No rain falls in the frame. The belief is total and the bodies do not lie. This is a one of one original work, the only piece of its kind in the world, a mixed media fine art work combining photography and digital art, Giclée printed on museum quality 310gsm Textured Fine Art Cotton Rag. A landmark piece of Nigerian painting that commands any wall it occupies. Available exclusively at Naija Art Store.
