Akile Ehiforia contributes two works to The Gospel According to the Renaissance Man Art Collection (TGATTRM): The Exile I and The Exile II. The paired works capture the movement of Adam and Eve as they depart from the Garden of Eden and enter life beyond its boundaries. Together, the paintings form a natural visual duo that complements one another in both narrative and composition.
Their balanced structure has made them particularly popular in interior design settings. Many collectors choose to position the two works on either side of a television or central wall feature. Through this pairing, Akile’s contribution offers both narrative continuity and strong decorative harmony within the TGATTRM collection.
