Soliloquy: Life's Fragile Fictions

Contemporary Yoruba artist Moyo Ogundipe draws on a vast storehouse of African and Western imagery for his paintings. Among his inspirations are the house posts carved by Olowe Ise. Traditional African body decoration, birds as symbols of freedom and power, and batik patterns are recurring motifs, but so are creatures from Greek mythology.

Moyo Ogundipe (Yoruba), Soliloquy: Life's Fragile Fictions, 1997. Acrylic paint on canvas; 48 1/4 in. x 72 in. Denver Art Museum: Joan Evans Anderman Memorial Fund, 2000.243. © Moyo Ogundipe
