This striking original artwork, My Boy (2025), by Nigerian-Canadian artist Abiola Idowu, blends intricate stitched African fabrics with bold acrylic highlights to form a powerfully expressive silhouette portrait. Idowu’s modern aesthetic reflects deep West African cultural roots while speaking in a visual language that resonates globally.
Hand-stitched and vibrantly colored, the work is signed on the front and back, with the title and artist inscription appearing on the verso. A brilliant example of Idowu’s layered, narrative-driven portraiture.
Abiola Idowu (b. 1973) trained at UNILagos and ABUZaira and later completed a residency in Nairobi, Kenya. His dynamic portfolio includes sculpture and painting, often exploring spiritual identity and cultural memory. Idowu's career has spanned exhibitions across Africa, Canada, and the U.S., and his collectors praise his richly textured, spiritually grounded work.
