About the Item

Deep Contemplation is an original painting by Makama John. John created Deep Contemplation with Charcoal, Oil, and Acrylic on a 30W by 30H inches primed canvas. Deep Contemplation is an artwork that depicts a woman staring with a sense of intense introspection. This piece is not only visually striking, but it also provokes deep thought and contemplation in the viewer. First and foremost, the subject matter of this piece is a woman. It is refreshing to see women represented in artwork, particularly in a way that is not objectifying or sexualized. This woman is not posed in a seductive manner or shown as a mere object for the male gaze. Instead, she is shown as a human being with her own thoughts and emotions. Furthermore, the way the woman is staring is powerful. Her gaze is piercing and seems to penetrate the viewer's soul. It is clear that she is not simply looking at something, but rather she is deep in thought and contemplation. This sense of introspection is something that is often lacking in our fast-paced, technology-driven society. We are rarely given the time or space to truly reflect on our lives and our place in the world. This artwork reminds us of the importance of taking a step back and examining our own thoughts and emotions. However, I believe that simplicity is what makes it so powerful. Sometimes, the most profound messages are conveyed through simplicity. In a world where we are bombarded with information and stimuli at every turn, this artwork is a breath of fresh air. Moreover, the title of the artwork, "Deep Contemplation," perfectly encapsulates the essence of the piece. It is not trying to be overly complex or mysterious. It is simply a depiction of a woman deep in thought. The title serves as a reminder that sometimes the most important work we can do is the work we do on ourselves. In conclusion, Deep Contemplation is an artwork that should be celebrated for its simplicity, power, and message. It reminds us of the importance of introspection and taking the time to truly reflect on our own thoughts and emotions. We need more artwork like this that celebrates the beauty and complexity of the human experience without resorting to objectification or superficiality.

Shadows and Diamonds

Located in Ibadan, Oyo

At the heart of "Shadows and Diamonds," we encounter the theme of shadows. John ingeniously uses shadows to represent the obscured aspects of our individuality, the parts of ourselves that are hidden from the outside world. These shadows can be seen as the unexplored depths of our personality, our fears, or our secrets. The young man in the artwork seems to embrace his shadows, suggesting a willingness to acknowledge and confront those hidden aspects of his being. By portraying shadows as an integral part of the artwork, John challenges us to embrace our own shadows and accept them as essential components of our identity. The shadows in "Shadows and Diamonds" serve as reminders that the multifaceted nature of human existence is not limited to what is visible on the surface but extends far beyond, into the realm of the intangible and the mysterious. While shadows represent the hidden aspects of self, diamonds in the artwork symbolize the facets that shine through, the qualities and characteristics that we choose to reveal to the world. Diamonds are known for their brilliance and sparkle, and in "Shadows and Diamonds," they represent the positive attributes that we proudly display to others. They symbolize our achievements, our talents, and the qualities that make us unique and valuable. Through the juxtaposition of shadows and diamonds, John invites us to reflect on the delicate balance between revealing and concealing different aspects of our identity. The young man's beaded necklace, adorned with diamonds, suggests a celebration of self-discovery and the courage to embrace and showcase the diverse elements that constitute our true selves. In addition to the symbolism present within the artwork, Makama John...

Bored

Located in Ibadan, Oyo

The artwork "Bored" is a stunning creation that weaves a delicate tapestry of dreams and reality. The artist has skillfully captured the essence of a young girl's imagination, allowing the viewer to peer into the depths of her thoughts and aspirations. The lady's posture exudes an air of calm contemplation, but her eyes tell a different story. They glimmer with a hint of mischief and wonder, hinting at the magical world she has conjured up in her mind. In the background of the painting, the artist has masterfully depicted a vision of northern horsemen, galloping majestically across vast, snow-covered plains. These horsemen, clad in traditional attire, symbolize strength, courage, and freedom - qualities that the young girl may yearn for or admire. The contrast between the girl's stillness and the dynamic scene she envisions creates a captivating juxtaposition, emphasizing the power of imagination and the allure of the unknown. As the viewer gazes at the artwork, they are drawn into a narrative of the young girl's daydream. Perhaps she is longing for adventure, yearning to explore the far-off lands of the North, or maybe she seeks to break free from the mundane routine of everyday life. The painting stirs the imagination, leaving room for personal interpretations and connections. The title "Bored" takes on a deeper meaning in light of the young girl's reverie. It hints at the idea that boredom can be a catalyst for creativity and imagination. In moments of monotony, the mind often seeks escape, finding solace in the realm of daydreams and fantasies. This painting serves as a reminder that boredom is not necessarily a negative emotion, but a gateway to exploration and self-discovery. The artist's technique in "Bored" is nothing short of mesmerizing. The use of vibrant colors and soft brushstrokes adds a touch of surrealism, enhancing the dreamlike quality of the artwork. The girl's expression is a masterpiece in itself, evoking empathy and inviting the viewer to empathize with her world of dreams. In a world where we are constantly surrounded by distractions and technology, "Bored" reminds us of the power of introspection and the beauty of allowing our minds to wander freely. It encourages us to embrace moments of stillness and delve into the depths of our imagination, just like the young girl in the painting. Art has the incredible ability to transport us to different realities, and "Bored" achieves just that. It invites us to envision our own northern horsemen or any other fantastic tales that lie within our hearts. It celebrates the essence of childhood wonder, where even the simplest of moments can become the foundation for extraordinary journeys. In conclusion, "Bored" is an exquisite artwork that captures the essence of a young girl's daydream about northern horsemen. It stands as a testament to the power of imagination and the art of storytelling through visual means. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, let us also be reminded of the beauty of introspection, the allure of dreams, and the magic that lies within every one of us.
