Gele Beauty is a painting self-portrait of La’Jasha Champion. The medium that’s incorporated into the art is acrylic. Champion’s inspiration stems from her first experience of attending a Nigerian wedding. The bride’s family wore various, detailed, hand-tailored garments in a vibrant deep blue hue. Marbled by the sight of beautiful aso-ebi and gele. Champion felt compelled to create her own symbolic garment through the utilization of acrylic painting. Gele beauty emphasizes and celebrates the beauty, fashion, and cultural celebration of Nigerian festivities.
