Ìgún, meaning The Vulture, presents a male figure in a deep, controlled crouch against a burnt amber background, knees bent, body compressed low, both arms pulled back behind him with wrists slightly outward in the resting posture of a bird with its wings folded. His face is turned sharply to the right in the alert lateral gaze of something patient and watching. His black agbada with deep brown-gold embroidery pools around the crouch. Behind him, from the position of his shoulder blades, two large vulture-wing shadows spread across the amber background, cast from no visible light source. This visually precise mixed media African painting is Giclée printed on museum quality 310gsm Textured Fine Art Cotton Rag and limited to a worldwide edition of only 20 prints. A work of fine art about patience, purpose, and the dignified role that completion plays in every living system. Available at Naija Art Store.
