BEHIND THE SPECTACLES: WOLE SOYINKA & CHINUA ACHEBE | art by Ibrahim Ajani Lawal

Read Time:1 Minute, 2 Second
Behind The Spectacles of every pacesetter is, on the one hand, a series of paintings done on canvases using acrylics as a medium. These paintings explore the experiences and expectations that users of spectacles might have had from behind them. 
This set of artworks on the other hand attempts to recreate yesterday and reimagine tomorrow under today's watch. Since literature is a mirror of society, this series strives to project the views, thoughts, and imaginations of leaders—writers—who see through the lenses of others.
In this context, Series 1 and 2, featuring renowned African Writers, Wole Soyinka and Chinua Achebe, express my conception that all their works are from "behind the spectacles".
