“Oba and Her Ear” by Harmonia Rosales (American) - Oil on wood panel / 2021 - AD&A Museum (Santa Barbara, California) #womeninart #portrait #art #womanartist #oilpainting #womensart #ad&aMuseum #ucsantabarbara #americanart #femaleartist #fineart #Yoruba #portraitofawoman #hyperealism #femalepainter
The legend of Oba, the most senior of Shango's wives, is that she was tricked by a rival into believing that if Shango ate a piece of her, he would love Oba eternally. Desperate for his affection, Oba cut off her ear and attempted to feed it to Shango mixed into his porridge. Unfortunately, he detected the trick and exiled her in disgust and rage. Grieving, Oba became the River Oba in present-day Nigeria. Afro-Cuban American artist Harmonia Rosales depicts in beautiful hyperrealistic detail Oba as a woman with a dark brown complexion, straight nose, full lips, and a rounded face. Her eyes are dark and expressive, looking directly at us. Her hair is covered with an exquisite deep magenta-pink headwrap with a detailed pattern of small, repeating floral designs. A magenta-pink wrap garment matches the headwear with its rich, draped texture evoking a traditional African style. Oba holds a sharp palette knife in her right hand and a copper, oval-shaped plate (which is empty except for her ear) in both hands. The painting's subject of a beautiful woman dressed in sumptuous fabric holding a plate with a grim offering echoes Salome with the Head of Saint John the Baptist, a popular biblical story among Renaissance artists. Whereas Salome destroys another, Oba's grisly crime leads to her own ruin.

More footage where this came from, eg this shot just before we left last night. In the time since I posted the video quote-posted by the QP below, the @ucsantabarbara IG acct put up an actually-edited video that conveys more of the scene from Elings, & that is here: www.instagram.com/reel/DKkV72I...
