Description
“Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, And obtaineth favour of the LORD.” Proverb 18:22
This painting is one of my Love’s series pieces. I am using this piece to illustrate the affluence, exuberance and the flamboyance of Yoruba people’s wedding ceremony. I like to use my works to make a statement about political and social issues. I often advocate for the URH – Untied Race of Human beings. In this painting, the groom is a white man in Yoruba attire and the bride is a Yoruba lady. With this painting, I am saying that love is colour-blind. People from different backgrounds often fall in love.
In this painting, I created the bride with Rose and Thorns to depict the facts of life in marriage as in any other relationship; there will be a romantic and rosy time and there may be challenging and thorny times in which only strong love can ease the pain.
I am also using this painting to exhibit Yoruba culture of sparing money on the dance floor with the Yoruba famous talking drum and the drummer in the foreground.
