The Blessed Family 2006

Twins Seven Seven made this striking drawing, The Blessed Family, with ink and dye on paper. Look at those intricate patterns and bold outlines, feels like you can almost feel the pen scratching across the paper. I can imagine Twins Seven Seven, caught up in a flurry of creation, his mind ablaze with stories and visions. It's easy to imagine him thinking about family, ancestry, and the spiritual power of everyday life. Notice the rhythmic repetition of shapes and colors. Those swirling motifs might echo traditional Yoruba art, but with a totally unique twist. It's like he's riffing on age-old themes. The way the figures carry their burdens – literally and figuratively – resonates with the weight of history and the resilience of the human spirit. I feel it in my gut, a sense of connection to something bigger than myself. It's a reminder that art is a conversation that spans generations. The act of artmaking is a sacred dance!
