Silas Abrifor's painting Dust Till Dusk captures the cycle of economic and political oppression in post-colonial contemporary Africa. The artist evokes a powerful theme of oppression and aspiration locked into an unending cycle. The representation of the oppressor and the oppressed , the power mongering and goal, the ambition of one group as they rise above the other and the effect it has on our society. The artist depicts the oppressed as a footstool for the privileged and reflects on how nothing is expected but a rebellion against oppression. Abrifor explores how bad governance exacerbates the suffering of the oppressed.
