Abstract
-
"As Old as Man," created by Chinedu Chukwurah Francis, is a poignant oil painting on canvas measuring 3 feet by 4 feet. The artwork depicts a young Igbo maiden seated on a stone, immersed in the serene ambiance of a traditional Igbo village. She is intently focused on cracking palm kernels using a stone, a task that has been passed down through generations.
The maiden's posture and concentration testify to her familiarity and skill with this traditional chore, highlighting the enduring nature of cultural practices.
