Arewa and Adaeze by Crixtover Edwin

About this collection

Audio Galleries presents "Arẹwà and Adaeze" by Crixtover Edwin, the fifth artist edition in partnership with TIMEPieces by TIME.

Arẹwà and Adaeze are derived from a diptych.

This diptych is comprised of two hand painted pieces, juxtaposed on the context of taking pride in our natural beauty and identity as people of color. It aims to celebrate that regardless of societal norms, our unique image, culture and representation is what matters.

Arẹwà and Adaeze are names that means "beautiful" and "royalty" respectively, juxtaposing Yoruba and Igbo culture, with names that speak highly of their identity regardless of how they look.

Arẹwà is an Open Edition. Holders of the Audio Galleries Mint Pass who purchase Arẹwà, will be rewarded with the airdrop of Adaeze, made by Crixtover Edwin.

Meet Crixtover Edwin

Crix grew up reflecting on elements of everyday culture and pop style.

He always loved art, drawing and sketching doodles - it was his main passion, but he was never able to take it seriously because of his parents' poor financial situation, He just couldn't couldn’t get art supplies to practice traditional art at the time.

His goal is for his artwork and creativity to be recognised and enjoyed, but most importantly serve as a source of motivation and light to people who might be going through trials, hard knocks and looking down on themselves - not realising their potential.
