Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. In an African setting where it is believed that serious matters are to be handled or solved by the wisdom of the aged. In this painting series, you see four aged chiefs trying to find ways of acquiring some information from a ‘prestigious’ mad woman who was resting calmly in her zone. Things turned out not as planned. They soon find themselves in a state of commotion because some situations cannot be controlled by just wisdom but certain measures must be taken. This series is a sarcastic representation of our country where the aged are given opportunities to handle critical situations or given high positions as it is believed they are more experienced and wiser. Even when positive results are not yielded, they are still left to take control of profound solutions. Why not put in charge young creative and active minds with great measures of innovations while the aged with experiences guide the footsteps taken by the young; therefore, bringing about huge growth and development?
