Shipped in a box “This piece is from Tolu’s 2025 body of work exploring the layered realities of womanhood. What makes it particularly compelling is her use of paint on plastic to create this stained-glass effect — it’s visually luminous, but conceptually powerful.

You’ll notice the fractured black lines — they represent structure, pressure, and societal constraints. But what’s striking is how the colour refuses to be contained. The yellows, reds, and blues push through with energy and warmth, symbolizing endurance and identity. It’s a balance of fragility and resilience.

Up close, the crackled surface gives it that textured, almost illuminated quality. As light shifts, the work subtly transforms — so it’s a piece that continues to reveal itself over time.

At 20 x 24 inches, it has strong presence without overwhelming a space, making it very versatile for both private and corporate collections. It’s signed, includes a certificate of authenticity, and is part of a focused 2025 exploration — which is important because collectors are beginning to recognize this stained-glass-on-plastic technique as a signature direction in her practice.

At $2,500, this is an accessible entry point into her evolving market, especially as demand for contemporary African female narratives continues to grow.”
