Artwork Description:

Politician, Preacher and Orator is a symbolic assemblage of different sizes of plastic bottle covers, tooth paste covers, and empty shoe polish as well as other empty tin and plastic containers were employed as the masses or crowds in the work. A pair of wrist-watches, one on either side of the whole composition act as major pillars of support in times of need for the whole set up. A peculiar face, hidden behind a dark glasses is the main dramatis personae in the work, he she is might be the politician or preacher or orator. The objects were assembled and glued to the board and painted with the relevant acrylic colours, which was aided with symbolic Yoruba cum African motifs and form with different characteristic standards and goals in the society. It is an abstract reflection on the theatrics of mesmerizing magicians and spellbinding frauds in the guise of being a politician, a preacher or an orator. Though, some politicians and preachers as well as orators are clean. But, in Nigeria and some other parts of the world as we know it presently is full of dangerous entities parading as politicians, preachers or orators with fraudulent intentions and goals.
