O Yemi Tubi (MOYAT) Ijo Iyawo (Bridal Dance) Oil on canvas 2023 Jaywick, Clacton-On-Sea - SHIPS FROM Jaywick, Clacton-On-Sea I am using this piece to illustrate the affluence, exuberance and the flamboyance of Yoruba people’s wedding ceremony. I like to use my works to make a statement about political and social issues. I often advocate for the URH – Untied Race of Human beings. In this painting, the groom is a white man in Yoruba attire and the bride is a Yoruba lady. With this painting, I am saying that love is colour-blind. People from different backgrounds often fall in love. O Yemi has exhibited worldwide and received awards and recognitions.
