ASO ESO - FAMILY CLOTH By TOBI AMUSAN Created in 2019 ACRYLIC and INK ON PAPER Artwork Signed
SHIPS FROM THE ARTIST'S STUDIO IN ------ LAGOS This artwork, titled Aso Ebi vividly captures the essence of unity and cultural pride through the depiction of three men adorned in traditional Aso Ebi attire. The intricate patterns on their clothes seamlessly blend with those in the background, creating a harmonious visual narrative. The vibrant colors and periwinkle shell motifs, which symbolize resilience and continuity, celebrate the richness of African heritage.Aso Ebi, meaning "family cloth" in Yoruba, represents a powerful symbol of togetherness and support, often worn at special events to foster a sense of community. This practice not only showcases the cultural pride of the Yoruba people but also supports local textile and fashion industries, contributing to the economy.
