This painting titled “Isokan” meaning Unity in Yoruba Language depicts the togetherness usually experienced in the Traditional African Family. The sense of community and humane living are highly cherished values of traditional African life. This statement remains true in spite of the apparent disarray in the experience of modern politics and brutal internecine wars in many parts of the Continent. For traditional Africans, the community is basically sacred, rather than secular, and surrounded by several religious forms and symbols. A visitor to Africa is soon struck by the frequent use of the first person plural 'we', 'ours' in everyday speech. In modern African urban cities, primary community loyalties of one's extended family and village, continue to exert their hold over people who live away from the communities of their home-towns. The images of the people are represented in an abstract manner using warm and friendly colours.
