Moonrise, Lagos photographs a young female figure from directly above, lying on her back with arms folded across her chest, face upturned, eyes closed, legs together, wearing a flowing deep blue and silver Ankara fabric spread in folds around her body. The bird’s-eye view makes her body the landscape and the wide frame the sky above her. Directly below her upturned face in the overhead composition, a perfect circle of white light glows on the floor, a moon that has come to rest at ground level, illuminating the face that came to find it. This is a one of one original piece, the only work of its kind anywhere in the world, a mixed media fine art work of photography and digital art, Giclée printed on museum quality 310gsm Textured Fine Art Cotton Rag. An unusual and quietly beautiful Nigerian painting available at Naija Art Store for collectors who appreciate work that finds the extraordinary in the position of rest.
