Please like my Facebook Page & join me on twitter: edy4sure Professor Wole Soyinka - The Nobelist Medium: Watercolor, watercolor pencils, acrylics & Acrylic gesso Ground: Stretched Canvas Process: impasto, finger painting, use of brush, and pallete knife This is my 'failed' attempt at painting with only watercolors (I ended up adding other media) and, in the end, I came up with this... This is a portrait of a man I admire and an artistic inspirational figure, Akinwande Oluwole "Wole" Soyinka (born 13 July 1934) is, a Nigerian writer, poet, playwright, and political activist. Professor Wole Soyinka, has an extraordinarily prolific and rich body of work which includes, plays, novels, poems, and essays, Professor Soyinka draws on both Yoruba and western culture to exquisitely weave a subtle understanding of the tragedy and comedy of the human condition. As a reward for his literary contributions to the world, he was rewarded with a Nobel Peace Prize in literature in 1986. He has also been an implacable, consistent and outspoken critic of many Nigerian politicians, military dictators, and of political tyrannies worldwide.And according to him, a great deal of his writing has been concerned with "the oppressive boot and the irrelevance of the colour of the foot that wears it".
