About the Item
This cubistic portrait is one of a series of portraits I started while in Berlin earlier this year. I do not typically paint portraits, although many recurring motifs of my work are featured in this piece, "Patterns". The use of repetitive patterns belies a fascination for more traditional artistic concepts such as: shape, shade, shadow, line and structure. My approach to cubism offers a sense of optical illusion, while deconstructing subject matter into often barely-recognizable delineations and structurally unsound repetitive patterns.

Ryan Bock
Ryan Bock specializes in painting, drawing, puppetry, animation and experimental film methods. Bock’s practice is rooted in a need for narrative structure. Residing somewhere between mythology and nightmare, Bock depicts mise-en-scène riddled with symbology and allusions both cinematic and painterly. Maintaining a fascination for shape, shade, shadow, structure and optical illusion, Bock deconstructs his subject matter into often barely-recognizable delineations and structurally unsound repetitive patterns. In an attempt to confront the contemporary individual’s relationship to mortality, fear and superstition, Bock depicts correlations between the human figure and its innovations: technology, architecture and religion—both historically and fictitiously. By consistently contrasting historical subjects with those of the present, and using the recurring patterns found to generate predictions about our future—a process he refers to as ‘dusty futurism’—Bock propels his audience to reconsider the routine human experience and discloses the illusions implemented to keep them from questioning. Commissions and/or collaborations welcome.

- Ray of HopeBy Alogi JohnLocated in Ibadan, Oyo"Ray of Hope" presents a compelling visual narrative that captures the viewer's attention with its elegant simplicity and emotive composition. The central focus is a lady, her eyes fixed on an unseen point, her hands gently supporting her face, and her flowing braided hair cascading down her shoulders. The artist skillfully employs light and shadow to accentuate the contours of her face, creating an ethereal glow that emanates from her serene expression. The painting's colors, a delicate blend of cool and warm tones, add a sense of depth and richness, further enhancing the artwork's emotional impact. The lady's introspective pose and piercing gaze offer a profound glimpse into the human experience. With her hands gently cradling her face, she exudes a sense of vulnerability and introspection, as if lost in her own thoughts and dreams. The flowing braided hair adds an element of timelessness and femininity, while also symbolizing the fluidity and interconnectedness of one's hopes and aspirations. "Ray of Hope" serves as a reminder that within the depths of contemplation, a spark of optimism and resilience can emerge, guiding individuals toward a brighter future.

Each artwork within this collection invites viewers to question the boundaries between reality and imagination, offering glimpses into alternate worlds and unseen narratives. Alogi's unique ability to blend symbolism with evocative imagery gives birth to visual masterpieces that resonate with viewers on both intellectual and emotional levels. Alogi's artistic style is characterized by a delicate balance between realism and poetic abstraction. His meticulous attention to detail, particularly in capturing facial expressions and the intricacies of hair, results in a stunning portrayal of human emotion. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and luminosity that brings his subjects to life. Alogi's choice of colors, often muted and harmonious, adds to the dreamlike quality of his artwork, enveloping viewers in a world of contemplation and introspection. John Alogi's artwork, "Ray of Hope," captivates viewers with its mesmerizing portrayal of a lady lost in thought. As a part of his "Dreams and Reality" series, this masterpiece reflects the artist's profound understanding of the human condition, evoking a sense of introspection and emotional resonance. Through Alogi's skillful technique and symbolic imagery, the artwork transcends the boundaries of the canvas, inspiring contemplation and igniting a ray of hope within those who encounter it.
