Synopsis for "Birth Right"

This mural installation, located at the poolside of the WheatbakerHotel, is a testament to Murals.ng’s expertise in crafting culturally inspired artworks for high-end commercial clients. Commissioned as part of the hotel’s holiday preparations, the project embraces the year’s theme of Nigerian fabrics like Adire and Ankara, weaving together rich cultural narratives with contemporary design.The centerpiece of this installation, titled "Birthright," is inspired by Gustav Klimt's iconic work "The Kiss," reimagined through the lens of Nigerian heritage. The mural depicts a father presenting his son with atotem, intricately designed based on Benin culture.This powerful act of giving represents the transmission of cultural heritage—the most valuable gift that binds generations of Nigerians. It highlights the idea that our culture is a priceless resource, a birthright passed down to us to cherish, protect, and celebrate.

Design And Execution

These pieces are created in the style of Contemporary Pan-African Futurism, a unique artistic movement invented by Femi Adeleke, the Creative Director at Murals.ng. This style blends traditional African heritage with futuristic aesthetics, creating works that celebrate the vibrancy of African culture while envisioning its evolution into a modern global context. Drawing from the unique colors and shapes of the Wheatbaker’s architecture, the artwork incorporates earthy tones, warm golds, and intricate patterns reminiscent of traditional African textiles. The second piece in the installation complements this narrative by abstractly representing the richness of Nigeria’s cultural tapestry, featuring motifs and shapes that echo architectural elegance and African symbolism.

Conclusion

Together, the murals honor the spirit of the holiday season, emphasizing the timeless themes of heritage, legacy, and the joy of giving. They celebrate the profound connection between culture and identity while adding a touch of artistic brilliance to the luxurious ambiance of the Wheatbaker Hotel.
