George Alekou is a contemporary Greek painter, born in Athens where he still lives. Fascinated from an early age by painting, he spend endless hours at his mother’s art studio making his first charcoal drawings. Yet equally influenced by his father, decides to become a doctor, but his artistic passion never leaves him, and alongside his medical course he is professionally initiated into art. Alekou is focusing on intense themes that sometimes are shocking or even repulsive, but in no case leave the viewer untouched by his painting. The use of charcoal alone or combined with acrylics, oils and watercolours reflects a raw beauty, an intimate reality, unlike those artworks that tend to portrait an idealized image. Nudity, beauty, passion, pain, life.. All those situations that make us feel alive are present in his mainly large-scale pieces that despite the “hard” sometimes content feel so intimate and warm to our eyes.

Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity (Issued by the Gallery) "Innocence" is a captivating artwork that evokes a sense of empathy and reflection. The central figure, a woman, stands as a representation of someone who has been wrongly accused and unfairly painted with guilt. Oladapo's skilled brushwork brings forth the emotions of sorrow, pain, and resilience, creating a visually striking piece. The woman's expression carries a mix of sadness and determination, reflecting the weight of the false accusations. The use of vibrant red in the painting symbolizes the intense emotions and turmoil she has experienced. The artist's attention to detail, particularly in capturing the subtle nuances of her facial expression, adds depth and authenticity to the artwork. "Innocence" highlights the profound impact that false accusations can have on an individual's life and psyche. The emphasis on being "painted red" with lies alludes to the damaging effect of baseless accusations, which can tarnish one's reputation and cause immense pain. The artwork also emphasizes the resilience and strength required to maintain one's truth in the face of adversity. The woman's unwavering gaze and the determination in her expression portray her refusal to be defined by false accusations. She stands as a symbol of the human spirit's ability to rise above injustice and assert one's innocence. Through "Innocence," Oladapo reminds us of the importance of embracing our authenticity and standing firm in our truth, even when faced with unfounded allegations.
