Ìròlè Ikú, meaning Death’s Evening, shows an elderly male figure in a simple everyday buba and sokoto, reclined in a chair with his head resting back, eyes directed upward, in the deep repose of someone who has put everything down. Both hands rest loosely in his lap, one slightly open. His skull paint is in faint rose-gold, barely visible, the most subtle death-marking in the series. On his open fingers in his lap, a grey dove has landed with eyes closed, choosing the same rest. This quietly devastating mixed media fine art print is Giclée printed on museum quality 310gsm Textured Fine Art Cotton Rag and limited to just 20 prints in the world. A deeply human Nigerian painting that handles mortality with the gentleness it deserves, available at Naija Art Store for collectors drawn to work that holds difficult truths beautifully.
