About the Item
"Victory" emanates a sense of vibrancy and vitality, drawing viewers into its world of anticipation and celebration. The central figure, depicted with a wide grin and laughter lines etched upon his face, embodies the exhilaration of success. The tennis bat in his hand symbolizes the pursuit of excellence, the determination to conquer challenges, and the triumph of skill and perseverance.
The choice of a muted green backdrop in "Victory" adds depth and contrast to the composition. The muted tones create a serene ambiance, highlighting the man's excitement and emphasizing his presence. The green hue, reminiscent of nature and growth, evokes a feeling of harmony and renewal, reinforcing the idea that victory can emerge even from the most tranquil surroundings.
However, what truly sets this artwork apart is the artist's emphasis on melodic lullabies. Within the frame of "Victory," a delicate verse is inscribed, woven intricately with the subject's laughter and the bat's dynamism:
"As heart strings strum secret chords
As transcendental images appear
Stargazers are lost for words
Kaleidoscopic Illuminations
Paint the sky in an optimistic light
Hope descends in serene silence
Floating through shadows of the night
Dancing spirits move to dulcet tunes
Shadows can be seen against the moon
Oh Redeemer do you hear their call?
Take with you those who have gone too soon
Hallelujah- Hallelujah
Hallelujah- Hallelujah"
This lyrical addition amplifies the emotional resonance of "Victory." The melodic lullabies echo through the artwork, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the whimsical dance of triumph. The verses speak of a celestial connection, where the intangible forces of hope and harmony harmonize with earthly achievements. The mention of shadows against the moon and the call for redemption evoke a profound sense of transcendence, reminding us of the fleeting nature of victory and the eternal spirit that drives us forward.
Agboola Oladapo's "Victory" is a beautiful testament to the power of art to capture the essence of human emotions. Through skillful brushwork, the artist has encapsulated the unbridled excitement of triumph, using a muted green backdrop to enhance the man's presence. The addition of melodic lullabies further deepens the artwork's impact, connecting viewers to a realm where success and serenity converge.
As we gaze upon "Victory," we are reminded of the universal pursuit of triumph and the joy it brings. It resonates with our collective desire to overcome obstacles, celebrate achievements, and revel in the exuberance of life. Agboola Oladapo's masterpiece encapsulates these sentiments, leaving an indelible impression on all fortunate enough to experience its captivating allure.

- African American Realist Oil Painting Baseball Outsider Folk Art Andrew TurnerBy Andrew TurnerLocated in Surfside, FLTitle: Home Run Genre: Realism, sports, baseball Subject: People Medium: Oil (this might be acrylic, it feels like oil) on canvas Country: United States Dimensions: framed 23 X 25 sight 17.5 X 19.5 Provenance: Sande Webster Gallery in Philadelphia (bears label verso) Faintly signed lower right (see photos) Andrew Turner was born in 1944 in Chester, Pennsylvania. He was a graduate of Temple University Tyler School of Art. Andrew’s work has been widely acclaimed, with many solo exhibitions and participation in group exhibitions. He has taught art in grades K-12 in the Chester, Pennsylvania Public Schools and in correctional centers. His appointments include Artist-in-Residence and Curator, Deshong Museum, Chester, PA; Lecturer, Widener University; Lecturer, Institute of Contemporary Art, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA; and, he toured and lectured in The People’s Republic of China. Andrew’s paintings are included in the collections of Woody Allen, Dr. Maya Angelou, ARCO Chemical Company, Bell Telephone Company, Dr. Constance Clayton, Mr. and Mrs. Bill Cosby, Edie Huggins, the artist previously known as Prince, Maya Angelou, Eric Lindros, Mr. and Mrs Louis Madonni, Moses Malone, Penn State University, Prince, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Sorgenti, Swarthmore College, Mrs. Marilyn Wheaton, and Widener University Deshong Museum, just to name a few. He has been featured in numerous solo exhibitions and group exhibitions in the United States and abroad. In an interview prior to his death in 2001, Turner noted, "My paintings combine the drama inherent in seventeenth century Dutch painting with the brush work and the economy of the Impressionists. However, I look to the jazz idiom more so than to other contemporary visual artists for guidance and inspiration. I tend to measure the success of my pieces by how they stand up technically, emotionally and innovatively to a John Coltrane solo or whether I've captured the spirit of the occasion, a la Duke Ellington. The subject matter, sometimes nostalgic recollections of my days as a young tough, covers a myriad of common folk activities. This one is reminiscent of Purvis Young. "The setting, usually my native Chester, is a beehive of creative stimulation or a deteriorating ghetto depending on my state of mind. At the very least, hopefully, these vignettes of experience will help to provide insight into some African American lifestyles and serve as an inspiration to my students and others to continue the legacy of African American participation in the arts." Folk Artist, Outsider artist, Folk Art. His work is from the true original street artist such as Purvis Young and the early Brooklyn street art Jean Michel Basquiat. “My paintings combine the drama inherent in seventeenth century Dutch painting with the brush work and the economy of the Impressionists.
