Ṣàngó

"Ṣàngó" by Anthony Azekwoh is a riveting homage to the Yoruba god of thunder and lightning. Utilizing a background steeped in western and african teachings, Azekwoh instills the canvas with the electric force that Ṣàngó embodies. Each stroke serves as a bolt, invigorating the work with a sense of awe and reverence, capturing the deity's might and his dominion over celestial elements. This sculpture becomes a charged space where the viewer can contemplate the raw power and energy inherent in both nature and mythology.
