The hyper-realism of Nigerian-born Oluwatobi Adewumi forms a piece with some semblance of a native narrative. For Adewumi, art is a gift which serves as a conduit to share the stories of people and places in different societies and cultures within the continent of Africa, of which one might not be familiar. His charcoal on paper work, titled Beyond the Beauty, shows a strikingly beautiful woman displaying confidence while wearing both fashion and cultural jewelry representative of a history that might not be known apart from herself and those closest to her.
