Transit (Lagos street)

This painting captures an urban street scene defined by symmetry, motion, and everyday life. Muted greys dominate the cityscape, giving the buildings and sky a subdued, almost reflective mood, while the bright yellow buses cut through the scene as symbols of movement, energy, and survival. The wet road mirrors the vehicles and structures, suggesting recent rain and adding depth and atmosphere. Human figures appear small and secondary, emphasizing the rhythm of the city itself busy, repetitive, yet alive. The contrast between dull surroundings and vibrant transport highlights resilience and continuity within urban African life.
