About the Item
Assurance. There's nothing more sane in this ever-changing world with its dynamic than assurance. Knowing that despite the frustration that sometimes comes with tackling this multifaceted world, we are in God's hands, is a comforting phenomenon.
Sometimes, we lose our way. Sometimes, we falter. Sometimes, we try. Sometimes we get it right. In all these and more, we are sure we are not entirely lost and somehow there's a profound meaning to our lives even in the chaos.
Obehi. Sometimes, It's a name that stimulates the essence and beauty of God's creation. The simplicity and complexity of His esthete in all their synergies.
Beauty and assurance.

About Artist
Macaulay Barnabas Osagie is a self-taught Artist and a graduate of the prestigious University of Benin, Nigeria, West Africa. Hailed from Benin heritage, which is known for its rich history, culture, and traditions. Growing up, He was fascinated by esthetics as a form of expression; this propelled his journey into the world of art. His passion for art began at the age of five, scribbling images on the ground using sticks—it evolved into drawings in primary and secondary schools. He was often selected among students to represent my secondary school in various art competitions.
"Knowing that Art fuels my existence and helps me connect with the world better, in 2018, I decided to not only do art for love and relief but to explore it professionally, and build a renowned career in the industry. One that reflects my views on societal issues and serves as an echo of hope. Determined to pay my dues, I had the privilege of working at Prince Saheed Adelakun's Olokun Art Studio in Abule-Egba, Lagos. It was there I met with other professionals. I created my first series titled "Odan Series"; which was expressed via hyperrealism. I created this series at the point when my life was in shambles; I was going through a rough phase; working on this series was my solace at the time.
"Over the years, I have created brilliant artworks using charcoal and pencil on paper and have evolved using acrylic and charcoal on canvas as my primary media of visual articulation; these works take various forms and for various purposes, all a reflection of my creativity and depth. I am drawn to figurative African contemporary art and surrealism. That is because the human mind is made up of both the conscious and the subconscious. So, I believe there's no better way to do works that speak of both other than via figurative African contemporary art and surrealism. Most of my surrealistic expressions are done via drawings using charcoal and paper as my primary mediums. I employ the mixed media approach using both charcoal and acrylic on canvas in my figurative African contemporary expressions. I love the interjection of the two opposite polar elements the dryness of charcoal and the wetness of acrylic bring. They represent the dynamism of life and how contrasting factors shape us into who we are. I love to tell stories; both the ones that are consciously relatable via contemporary works and the ones that are subconsciously relatable via surrealistic pieces. I hope to invoke thoughts and emotions through my art. I want every viewer to not just see my art but to also see themselves; my art is a mirror of who they are. One of the beauties of life is to be understood and that is exactly what I want my art to invoke in anyone. I'm interested in conversations surrounding African history, identity, evolution, leadership, and a bit of politics.

My Little Bastard - Contemporary Energetic Marks Abstract Figurative Painting
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Olympio, a prominent figurative abstract artist from Togo, creates artwork that is driven by an unapologetic sense of instinct. Olympio’s work is honest and palpable: exposed, raw, and direct. Through a bold use of color and texture, Olympio creates dynamic, multi-layered works that demand the viewer's attention. His work is an unfiltered manifestation of his soul. Bright, energetic marks encircle rough textures balanced by the peaceful compositions emanating from below the surface.
This 48 inch square mixed-media painting is signed by Olympio on the back of the canvas. The many layers in his work further emphasize the texture and visceral nature of his canvases. The painting is wired and ready to hang. Free local Los Angeles delivery. Affordable U.S. and global shipping are available. A Certificate of Authenticity issued by Artplex Gallery is included.
Olympio was born into a large family of eight children in Lomé, Togo, West Africa. He began his creating art by using building scraps to make sculptures. By the time he was in high school, he started to experiment with mixed media and collage. He later transitioned to acrylic and oil on canvas.
In 2001, Olympio left his home in Africa to live in Paris. Olympio moved to the United States in 2003 and has continued to paint. His work has been exhibited at Art Basel Miami, where in 2018 he was ranked one of the Top 10 Artists by Red Dot Miami. He was also recently interviewed for France 2, TV5Monde, and the BBC.
