From the Artist:
"Ideas are what form societies; these ideas form belief systems, which form perceptions, and perceptions eventually become reality. That is why I thought of setting the figures on a bookshelf containing some influential thought-shaping books in various spheres. The figures themselves are rendered in both semi-naturalistic and naturalistic manners, alluding to the blurred lines between perception and reality. Today, Toxic feminism is pushed as an idea that will counter male chauvinism; in the process, a different version of the same monster is created. "

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.
