Title: Saint Of the Unspoken (2026)
Medium: Acrylic on Canvas
Size: 36 × 48 in.
A figure crowned in gold leaf stands as testament to resilience. The unplayed horn holds narratives of hardship, unheard yet ever- present. Vibrant balloons rise against this weight, declaring that joy refuses to be silenced.
A new chapter, and a clearer voice.
In his latest body of work, Tosin Toromade revisits the balloon as a symbol of identity and mental health — now deepened by the Yoruba adage “Aiyé Gbegé” (“Life is fragile”).
The introduction of the bugle and French horn shifts the narrative. No longer subtle, the figure announces fragility with intention. Breath becomes sound. Silence becomes declaration. The horn amplifies what the balloon has always carried — a reminder to be gentle with life, to be kind, and to celebrate despite its impermanence.
These works mark an evolution in Tosin’s practice, where symbolism is no longer held quietly, but proclaimed.
We’re proud to present new works by Tosin Toromade at the Spring edition of the Affordable Art Fair, New York.

I rise in gratitude, clothed in dawn,
Thankful for breath, for purpose, for power.
Elohim’s spark burns within
God’s grace flows through my hands.
Tòrò—peace and strength made flesh,
I walk with reverence, my steps an offering.
For every battle, a blessing followed;
For every silence, God’s whisper of calling.
This is the year I become El Tòrò—
Not by might, but by mercy.
Crowned in thanksgiving, I manifest
The word, the will, the wonder of God.
This is a Coronation.
This is Kingdom come!
Jesu lo ni gbogbo Glory. Alleluyah!!!🙌🏾

I’ve been angry, almost depressed, heartbroken, smiled a bit, laughed a bit, zoned out, got back to using pastels after about 13yrs, got beaten playing fifa(7-1) 🤦🏾♂️😩…… but, I’VE BEEN BUSY!!! Let’s plan a show.
Our greatness is rooted in the unity of our people and the richness of our diversity. The world knows our name—not because our struggles and pain have placed us on the map, nor because we’ve been defeated, but because, in the heart of every Nigerian, lies the true essence of love, unity, resilience, and patriotism. We are not perfect, but we are EXTREMELY & EXCEPTIONALLY EXCELLENT at everything. Naija no go ever carry last. Our competitive spirit keeps us soaring, even through the toughest challenges. Every pressure brings forth new strength. We are Nigerians. YOU KNOW OUR NAME!

#Repost @artpantheonltd ; We excited to announce our inaugural participation in Affordable Art Fair, New York @AffordableArtfairNYC
We will be presenting the works by TÓSIN TORÒMÁDÉ, MR WADUUD, EVA OBODO and TOJU CLARKE.
The four artists explore topics that examine the shared memories influencing our sense of identity and crucial economic themes. The three painters@toromade_t@clarketoju and @mrwaduud use their creative works to platform the broader socio-political conversation, using visual narratives to explore the complexities of identity and societal pressures, while the sculptor @eva.obodo examines material culture in a global context, highlighting the transient nature of both human experience and the environments we shape.
So, if you’re in New York, see you at Booth D9, Metropolitan Pavilion, 125 West 18th Street, New York, USA from 25 - 29 SEPTEMBER 2024 to explore these thoughts provoking pieces.
