Title- 10 virgins.  Additive plastograph plate on canvas  89cm by 181cm  2014

This is a plate inspired by the biblical story of the 10 virgins awaiting the bride’s - groom.The central male figure with a crown is the bride’s-groom who is surrounded by ten young women looking earnestly at him.The groom is elaborately dressed as is typical of African princes while the young women are  in their Sunday-best with different hair-do. I have taken the pains to portray as many different traditional  hair-do commonly worn by Nigerian women.Like in the story ,they all have their oil lamps;some have extra oil in bottles while others don’t. 4000USD
