Bathsheba - 2022
Mixed media on canvas | 53.5 x 138cm
The artist: "This is a part of a body of work targeted to speaking against body shaming. A very contemporary approach to an old biblical story of Seduction, infidelity, abuse of office, adultery and murder. Besides a beautiful married woman's involvement with a king, no physical description was given of this woman other than attractiveness. Beauty is subjective and transient, and globally, infidelity occurs across a broad spectrum of body sizes. I also took the liberty to infuse motifs from the architecture: ceiling and floor design of 15th and 16th-century Europe, which strongly contrasts the trompe l'oeil white Carrara marble effect I was going after with the collage tiles. "

About the artist
Sor Sen was born in 1985. He received his formal training from Nigeria's premier school of art, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Fine Arts and subsequently a Master Fine (MFA) in painting. He is a full-time practicing artist.
Sen is intensely interested in the human experience; he also strongly believes that his works are a bold release of internal feelings through colours and evocative linear strokes in a bid to awaken the viewer thought and sight faculties.
He has previously held several acclaimed solo exhibitions and participated in many group exhibitions in Nigeria and abroad, such as Italy and South Korea. In addition, his artistic prowess has earned him several prizes and widespread recognition, such as the National Library Art Contemporary competition and (OOPL) and the Leonardo Da Vinci International Prize in Italy.
