About the Item
The underlying body of work is an exploration of texturizing distortion as a language of expression. The works explore an awaking of an Afrocentric consciousness connected to gender, power, and the human condition, depicting them on a figurative portrait subject to document stories that encompass the emotion and demeanor as well as individuals’ uniqueness.
The work addresses the complex intersectionality that Africans face in different facets of life and the diaspora. The works are Inspired by an ability to communicate intricate ideas about identity and personality. The attention to each figure portrait is personal fashion expressed through bold textiles.

- About Artist
Ashola'sa Daniel (B 1996) is an artist that resides and works in Lagos. He graduated from Yaba College of Technology where he received a Higher National Diploma in Art, majoring in painting.
Daniel is a multifaceted artist who depicts his stories through textured surfaces alluding to the complexities of life as he knows it in Nigeria and other parts of Africa and her diaspora. He derives his inspiration directly from the environment around him as well as pulling from his imagination of a western world that he has been exposed to through globalization. As an artist, Daniel's ethos is to mesh themes of the representation of black bodies with societal depictions of these said bodies. He documents the black body and how it is pulled this way and that across the globe. Central themes of his pieces are socialization, struggle, culture, and the African diaspora.
Daniel through his works challenges detrimental theories and notions of black skin that stem from the westernized patriarchal system and have been filtered through the lens of racism.
He emphasizes the aspect of comfort, tenderness, lightness, and freedom through bodily expression and staged composition of the landscape. People's emotions are rarely put into words, for they are expressed through other cues.
Currently, he works full-time as an artist striving and pushing to bring his work to a larger audience. Daniel participated in the ‘IAM that IAM’ exhibition in New York which is curated by Michael Hyman.

- She closed her eyes #7 Zahra Zeinali 21st Century Iranian painting child worldBy Zahra ZeinaliLocated in Paris, FRAcrylic paint on canvas Signed on the back Zahra ZEINALI was born in 1975 in Tehran, Iran. From 2001 to 2004, she studied Fine arts at the Art and Architecture University in Tehran. At the same time, she taught visual arts to children during 15 years. Passionate about photography, she trained in photography in 2007 at the House of Photography in Tehran. In 2012, she moved to France. Confronted with her new life, her vision of the world changed. Since 2020, she has resumed training in photography at the EFET School in Paris. Zahra ZEINALI The Doll’s House “What can a true artistic temperament aspire to after a youth spent in Iran today? To flee the hassles, prejudices, restrictions, to open wide a window of freedom rich in potentialities that were believed for a long time inaccessible. Zahra Zeinali became a visual arts teacher for fifteen years. Her pupils are 6 to 12 years old. Drawing, sculpture, painting, model design, she taught them a great diversity of techniques, but above all to think and design freely by themselves, in an atmosphere of joyful creative disorder which, surprisingly, is tolerated by a careful hierarchy. Then she studied four years at the University of Art and Architecture in Tehran. When she arrived in France, after a brief abstract period inspired by the rhythms of nature, it was at the time of the Charlie Hebdo and Bataclan attacks, which marked her deeply, to the point of lastingly darkening the ideal of emancipation and autonomy that she had projected on her stay in Paris. "There is no paradise on earth" she concluded with a melancholy smile. An old doll, bought for 1 euro in a storage room, triggers a click in her. The bitter imprint left by the Iranian confinement, the memory of her fifteen years of teaching visual arts to children, the loneliness of her Parisian exile, all this sentimental nebula found a plastic metaphor in the image of the doll. This is what these delicate earthenware faces evoke, often abused, abandoned, the childish innocence of their ingenuous gazes, a sort of strange absence from the world of the living, as if their attenuated life took place behind the mystery of a theater curtain...Category
