🔍 Description:
“Reflections of Eko” is a visually arresting piece by Nigerian artist T. Adams, merging the vibrance of Lagos mainland shanties with the towering aspirations of its island skyline. Rendered in moody grayscale with sharp bursts of red, gold, and blue, the painting captures the dualities of tradition and modernity, poverty and wealth, chaos and calm — all coexisting under a single moonlit sky. This acrylic canvas work is emblematic of contemporary Lagos life, where palm trees and wooden stilts confront steel towers and urban sprawl.
