Oladiimeji In All His Pride (2021)Acrylic painting
by Emmanuel Akolo

£1,487.38

Oladiimeji in All His Pride captures a profound moment of masculine self-possession and contemplative assurance. Seated in a high-backed chair, the subject is rendered against a vibrant purple wall, a choice of color that asserts his dominance and quiet dignity over the space. His vibrant red patterned shirt and confident posture, with a hand resting subtly near his mouth, command the viewer's attention and demand an immediate respect. This work explores the intersection of environment and identity, portraying a man who is not merely present in his surroundings but stands as the sovereign of his own domain.

The painting speaks to the quiet authority and pride that arises from internal strength rather than outward performance. The inclusion of an abstract painting hanging on the wall above the subject suggests a mind constantly at work, processing complex thoughts and emotions that mirror the depth of the sitter himself. By utilizing bold, primary contrasts and a sophisticated, saturated palette, Oladiimeji in All His Pride celebrates a confident identity. It honors the intense inner life and poised resilience of a man who remains secure and unwavering amidst the complexities of modern life.
