The work

 

The harvester is a metaphor for work, hard but honest work. The artist explores the life of the harvester as he gathers the harvest from the trees and the process of pounding out the oil and cooking it.

The Artist

Many of Enebeli's themes a derived from his native Anioma area of Delta State. According to Enebeli , his art is a bridge between old and new Nigeria, capturing fast-disappearing traditional festivals and rites and highlighting aspects of Nigerian culture that are being submerged by today's more international culture. His main media are cast and metal foil . With these unusual media he has been able to create a distinctive style that, like his themes, captures the strength of old Nigeria
