Vivid colour contrasts—fiery oranges, deep blues, whites, greens and blacks—collide and intertwine across the canvas, creating an immersive energy field that draws the viewer inward.For the artist, this series symbolises mental liberation, a place where every emotion, impulse, and visual fragment is welcomed. Slash II captures that sense of release, making it a captivating statement piece for collectors drawn to bold and emotionally charged contemporary art.A rare opportunity to acquire a direct studio work from one of the most distinctive British-Nigerian voices working today.
