See the kind of art this black artist made. Black women are finding it disrespectful

A popular black artist known professional as Duro Arts, released his new work last week and has come under fire from the black community, especially women. He painted controversial images of black women that some say is disrespectful.

In one photo, he painted a naked black woman, with her eyes censored and she's giving oral relations to eggplants with Mercedes symbols on them and in another one, he paints a photo of a nude black woman eating 'social media feed' out of a dog bowl, while a man squats over her. See the photos after the cut and tell us if you think they're inappropriate.



What messages do you think he's trying to pass with this images?

Whatever message he was trying to pass lost its essense the moment he disrespected women.

I don't need to bash him. Women are mouthed.

What nonsense

Na Mr. Me. said...

He's a self-loathing ignoramus. He fails to realise he is speaking to his mother and sisters too. He thinks he is addressing a percentage of black women but his small mind does not tell him his brushes indicates this is the symbol of black womanhood.

Maybe he took too much weed before he started. This bastard - yes, I mean he is a bastard - is either chronically gay (they hate women), or so self-hating he married a white woman to 'rid' his generation coming of melanin. Can someone tell him the butterfly can wish to be but never quite can be a bird? Amen.

I think he's trying to tell the world through art that women have become more filthy than filthy, they've become dogs just to get material possession. That's my two cent about it.

He has a gift and this is he could think of doing with it. Sorry wu aha ya!

Will do anything for money and attention/fame! But it is bad sha. Who would buy this? Ah, I know..Donald Trump!! Mo-1

KWEEN said...

I think the one with the benz keys simply means that many women are selling themselves for material things these days. And the 2nd shows how many ladies are now slaves to their social media images and portrayal of fake lives. It may look offensive but he's passing a strong message.

Uzomabenjaminc said...

thats what it is ....you do not need to close their eyes......money ,money ,cars ,fashion....thats all that matters to them. its for both Blacks and whites women alike.

Unknown said...

the message is obvious. some black women are slaves to luxurious life. such women also build their moral doctrine with posts, comments and pictures on social media.

Uzzyan Nenye said...

He's simple trying to portray that black women have now become b*tches who could do anything to please a man just for material acquisition.

It may look offensive but black women simply have to deal with the truth.

I think this is a clarion call for the African woman to go into introspection concerning her mentality towards materialism.

The truth will set us free! The artist is very correct, girls these days do almost anything for money

Nonnybaby said...

There is indeed some modicum of truth in it. The only fault with this depiction is the blatant ambiguity of the subject matter itself. Is this representative of EVERY black woman... including his Wife and yes, his very own MOTHER? She's a black woman too, ain't she? Even if it is allowed a degree of ambiguity and subject to interpretation of the artist and beholder, Art should be responsible. Well if this be the case, then my interpretation of this therefore is thus ... THIS IS WHAT HE THINKS OF EVERY BLACK WOMAN INCLUDING HIS WIFE, SISTERS AND MOTHER!

I couldn't agree with you better.. it's just the reality of our society today. The truth is bitter.

Artis allowed to be ambiguous and subject to the interpretation of the Artist/Beholder. Now if this is the case, My interpretation as Beholder of this 'fine' piece of work is that...This is the Artist's unrefined view of ALL Black Women including HIS WIFE, SISTERS and lest I forget, HIS MOTHER. Lesson here? Art has a moral obligation to be responsible.

African women can sleep with anything to get what she want and they are influenced by social media. Most of our African women have no value again for our culture. They have chosen the part of western value- Kim K., N. Minaj etc. Linda I know you will not post this.

There is definitely truth in this art piece and it had absolutely nothing to do with being black or white. Tell me, doesn't everyone know someone that will go down on all fours for material things of even less value. Open your mind!! Don't kill the prophets... Learn the message. Crucificxo

SMURF said...

The message he is trying to pass on is that black gals would do anything to have the flashy life, but he forgot that white gals too do it, Eg the Kardashians.

Anonymous said...

He is black that's the reason he choose to paint a portrait of his own race. He'd have been tag a racist if the women in the painting are white. So black women shouldn't take it personal he is only sending a message which cut across every race.

Anonymous said...

Why is the truth always bitter? I think that's the question you should ponder on. The portrait as nothing to do with race but rather the time we live in. Most women who want fame and affluence will result to anything irrespective of the colour. The images her just reflections of who he is, which is black. So the painting does not imply that every black woman will get down on their knee for material things but rather most ladies of our generation will result to anything for wealth and cheap fame.

That's the reality about black woman. even naija here. even married women now queue up for material things just to live big. congrats to the artist

I like this art work, though disrespectful to just black women but i love it. This art work is the truth, in every five women gathered together, four of them exhibit such characters in them. I know it's hateful but the truth is 'hateful' and many of us hate the truth, I know so many women will not accept this truth. They prefer to hit back on his mother, sisters, aunts, wife or wives, girlfriends and daughters, like they're not going to do this same things tomorrow and act like this paintings never happened or existed. I am Jagabam omo yabayaski too baski and i approve of this message. :-)

dudette said...

I dunno what message oo mbok...but he's in the right position to answer that question..is it disrespectful because he used black women to depict his message? If they were white would they feel offended #cusious

The only offence he committed was being too blunt.its a strong message for women.We shouldn't capitalize on his emotions but see it as opportunity to admonish and advise all ladies(not just black).Good art work but not for under 18.lol

I personally do not see anything wrong with his art work and I am a black woman. Art is a visual expression, he has expressed what he feels and that is that. Why are we only concentrating on this piece of artwork he did, im pretty sure he has others that he praised black women in. Believe it or not, majority of the women complaining about the art work are doing so because they are GUILTY! Madammes swallow your guilt and don't knock his hustle

To be sincere most females will follow a guy because of Money or do things because its in the social media. He is trying to tell the majority that are thots to stop, just because you're friend is doing it doesn't mean you have to do what shes doing. all the females insulting him probably see themselves in the paintings and have taken offense to being called out

Anonymous said...

Due to the influence of the social media men and women and been blinded by materialism. Some Nigerians have one interpretation when it comes to art. This painting is a representation of our current social situation, it is not pleasant. But art is not always meant to be beautiful. It seeks to offend provoke thought and dialogue.

He isn't generalizing that its all women but a lot of women he might come across in Lagos.

Point of correction,the kardhasians are from a wealthy background. Their father was one of the US top lawyer. He represented OJ Simpson against the state prosecution and that was America's biggest case till date.
