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.

Journey of Love
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
The central theme of "Journey of Love" revolves around the feeling of uncertainty that often accompanies the onset of a romantic relationship between two young people. As we gaze at the artwork, we witness the subtle apprehension in their eyes and body language, hinting at the initial hesitancy that comes with opening one's heart to another. Adewale beautifully captures the vulnerability of these young souls, making it evident that they are navigating uncharted waters, unsure of what the future may hold for their budding connection. The woman, almost positioned in front of the young man, symbolizes her subtle dominance in the relationship. This arrangement not only suggests her strength and independence but also highlights the significance of women in guiding the course of love. The painting subtly challenges traditional gender norms, emphasizing the equal partnership and influence both individuals have in shaping their shared journey. Moreover, "Journey of Love" doesn't shy away from portraying the doubts and fears that can plague the minds of those in the early stages of a relationship. The artist masterfully captures the subtle tension in their clasped hands, portraying the emotional tightrope that they walk together. This poignant aspect of the artwork resonates deeply with viewers who have experienced the vulnerability and anxiety that come hand in hand with falling in love. However, amidst the uncertainty and challenges depicted, Adewale's artwork also showcases the hope that drives these young hearts forward. In the gentle smiles and the glimmer of optimism in their eyes, we see the belief in the magic of love, the idea that their journey will be one of shared joy and personal growth. It is precisely this hope that allows them to face the challenges head-on and continue on their path despite the unknown future. The journey of love, as depicted in the artwork, is not without its trials and tribulations. Adewale subtly incorporates various elements in the background, such as swirling winds and turbulent skies, as metaphors for the external forces that may try to sway their commitment. The young couple's ability to withstand these challenges and remain standing together is a testament to the strength of their bond. As viewers immerse themselves in the layers of the "Journey of Love," they cannot help but reflect on their own experiences with love and relationships. The artwork becomes a mirror that allows them to ponder the uncertainties they have faced, the doubts they have battled, and the triumphant moments that have shaped their romantic endeavors. In conclusion, "Journey of Love" by Busari Adewale...
