Hyperrealistic Portraits Painted With Fire By This Self-Taught Nigerian Artist
Creating hyperrealistic art with traditional mediums is an incredible feat on its own, but adding the complexity of pyrography – the art of painting with fire on wood – takes it to another level. Yet for Nigerian artist Alex Peter Idoko, the challenge only fueled his passion for the craft.

Vibrant and genderbending (still looking for a better term!) clothes with a nod to the designer's Indian-Nigerian heritage: Ahluwalia Fall 2024 Ready-to-Wear.
Priya Ahluwali likes seeing people on the streets of Soho (London) wearing her clothes, so a lot of them are ready-to-wear and elevated street wear. This collection contains some special occasion designs in more classic colours such as black, dark green and blue, embellished with silver.
In love with the first look, the bright, burnt orange dress (it has a hoodie :D - yay!) and the cardigan as well as all of the prints! And the patchwork denim dress with its own collar/headpiece is amazing!
Love the diversity of the models, the different fits, silhouettes, and mixing options!

Ojih Odutola has a distinctive style of mark-making using only basic drawing materials, such as ballpoint pens, pencils, pastels and charcoal. This signature technique involves building up of layers on the page, through blending and shading with the highest level of detail, creating compositions that reinvent and reinterpret the traditions of portraiture. Ojih Odutola credits the development of her style from using pen, which holds a special significance through its function as a writing tool, as her work is also akin to fiction. She often spends months crafting narratives that unfold through series of artworks like the chapters of a book. – Jack Shainman Gallery
