Why The Pain

Artist: Oluwaseun Solomon Akinlo
Title: Why The Pain, 2020
Medium: Acrylic on canvas

Named “Why The Pain,” Oluwaseun Akinlo’s 2020 acrylic on canvas print is a potpourri of expressions sodden in multiform hues. They ignite reflections around a gun tank denoting the lawlessness of the SARS officials. They are also used as an engagement of critical issues surrounding police brutality in Nigeria which include 'end police brutality,' 'we are all in pain,' 'stop killing us' and 'I am an artist not a criminal' among others.
