About the Item

Shades of Love was created by Tunde Bakare. Tunde created the painting with Oil, Fabric, and Collage on a primed canvas of 44W by 48H. Shades of Love depicts the type of love that exists in the 21st century. Love is a peculiar thing, as many say, not that I know why they say this. There are many different definitions of love, depending on the person defining it. Just one definition of the word that has such a vast meaning simply cannot be penned down. Even though each of us has our own meaning, the general idea is common and is one many of us across the globe share. Love comes across in different forms, and it could be love for people, places, or even things. If you truly do love someone/something, they say you should express it. If you love someone let them know, maybe they love you too. Not that I don’t completely agree with this statement, but what if you tell them, and they happen to be bitter about it? What if they don’t love you back? What if they feel they have a certain power over you because you told them? What if they make fun? What if they hurt you because of what you said? What then? What are you supposed to do, forget that you ever told them, and move on with your life? Sure, you could do that but deep down, you will always remember, how much ever you try to forget. Love can destroy you, it can make you do things you never wanted to, it can break friendships/relationships, and it can stop you from doing a lot of things. You would always have this shade of love but never let this stop you from doing great things.
