According to TY Bello, the photoshoot was
done in advance for a coronation he is
having soon and she titled ‘a king in the
making.’
Read TY Bello’s inspiration for the shoot
below.
ADEKUNLE GOLD : BECOMING KING . I’m
looking forward to attending his coronation .. I
got to hear unreleased music while I made his
portraits . …Nothing quite like his sound ..
He’s the real deal…!He’s about to be crowned
and I’m certain. Im a song writer myself ..so I
can tell… Nigeria and indeed the world are
about to discover their new favorite genius …
One day I’ll be boasting about how I heard
those songs before they came out .. The idea
for @adekunlegold ‘s portraits came two days
before he called me . I had just read about
Bezaleel on Exodus 31 .. And how God gave
him creative genius to work with Gold , silver
and bronze . I had made some art images that
emotionally said everything I wanted but just
never felt quite right … Bezaleel’s work spoke
to me .. My work was missing some metal .So
I began to study the use of metal in sculpture
and design ….how to bring that into my work I
was trying to figure out which of my artist
friends I’d like to collaborate with when
Adekunle Gold’s messages started flooding in
. .. He sent me photographs of designs and
concepts with gold elements and asked me
what I thought … I just smiled .. God had
gifted me beautiful work and had taken time to
prepare me . I tried to stay calm as I started
going on about how I was tying to decode
Exodus 31 and bring it into my work .. And
roughly described some ideas that I had for
his album art .. I didn’t need to say much
more .. He was completely in . I collaborated
with Sobukola Oluwanisola , an artist friend of
mine and we decided on using recycled metal
built into crowns and deconstructed as pieces
for the portraits . So here are our portraits
Rustic and futuristic .. Our Adire clad .. King
explorer ..Ready to launch !!
