"Selfree" is a captivating artwork created by Lawal Ibrahim that depicts a man sitting on a chair and taking a picture of himself. The piece is a striking commentary on the modern obsession with self-image and self-expression.
The artwork features a man sitting on a wooden chair, with his phone held up in front of him as he snaps a photo of himself. His face is not visible, which suggests a focus on the act of taking the picture rather than the person in the photo.
One of the most striking aspects of "Selfree" is the use of color. The choice of colors creates a sense of detachment and coldness, which contrasts with the warmth and intimacy associated with self-portraiture.
The chair upon which the man sits is also an important element of the artwork. It represents a physical manifestation of the act of sitting for a photo, a common pose in the age of social media and selfies. The chair is also a symbol of power, authority, and control, which speaks to the idea of self-expression and self-determination.
The use of the medium in "Selfree" is also noteworthy. Lawal Ibrahim used coloured pen and digital art on paper, which allowed him to create a sense of depth and texture.
In conclusion, "Selfree" by Lawal Ibrahim is a thought-provoking artwork that comments on the modern obsession with self-image and self-expression. Through the use of color, posture, and medium, the artist has created an artwork that invites the viewer to reflect on their own relationship with self-portraiture and social media. The artwork is a testament to the power of art to critique and challenge contemporary cultural trends.
Shipping Procedure:
Ships in a well-protected tube from Nigeria.

Presentation
I am Lawal Ibrahim, a visual artist, born in Lagos, Nigeria in 1996. I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Biology Education from the University of Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria in 2016. I proceeded to my postgraduate studies at the Open University, Abuja where I got a Master's Degree in Administration and Planning in 2020.
My works are centered around the consciousness of humans and their relationship with our surroundings, using mediums ranging from pens to watercolors, fabric, and newspapers. I delved into a new style of art called Aprosopi. This style of art combines hyper-realism from traditional art and digital art.
With less emphasis on the face, it is a way of asking questions, about is human facial features importance exaggerated and their implications on our societal relationships. All my life I have always wanted to express myself through my art and get them to be an extension of my innate thoughts
I participated in a group exhibition held in Abuja at the Ivory Place; the Flow Session (2021). I currently reside in Abuja, Nigeria, where I work as a full-time artist
