About the Item

"Eyes of the Gods" is a captivating artwork crafted by the talented artist Samson Tolulope Daramola. This piece showcases a young girl as its central subject, inviting viewers into a world of innocence, curiosity, and introspection. Daramola's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the delicate rendering of the girl's features, capturing the nuances of her expression and the play of light on her face. The title, "Eyes of the Gods," suggests a deeper narrative, perhaps hinting at the profound wisdom and purity associated with the gaze of a child. The artist skillfully employs color and texture to evoke emotion, with a palette that may range from soft, ethereal tones to bold, vibrant hues. The use of symbolism and metaphor in Daramola's work often invites viewers to contemplate the universal themes of youth, wonder, and the untarnished perception of the world. "Eyes of the Gods" stands as a testament to Daramola's ability to infuse his artwork with a sense of storytelling, prompting viewers to reflect on the beauty found in the simplicity of a child's gaze and the untold stories behind those innocent eyes. Through this piece, the artist invites us to connect with the profound and timeless aspects of human experience. Shipping Procedure Ships in a well-protected tube This work is unique, not a print or other type of copy. Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity (Issued by the Gallery) About Artist Tolulope Daramola [b. 1993, Ekiti, Nigeria] is a self-taught contemporary visual artist working and living in Abuja, Nigeria. Up until his University days, his early childhood was around family in Ekiti State. His study of English and Literary Studies at the Ekiti State University; Ado-Ekiti, alongside communal experiences with family remains the foundation upon which his artworks are layered - irrespective of color, form, or technique. His mastery of acrylics, oils, charcoal, pastels, and other mediums makes every stroke unique in his interpretation of people and immediate surroundings. Tolulope believes in painting out the suppressed experiences and untold stories of everyday people sometimes swept under the carpets of reality. He devised a means of using sewing buttons, which pays homage to his mother who used to be a tailor; He found solace and connection in the sounds of her old sewing machine, which served as a meeting point for him and his siblings during their early years. This connection led him to explore the metaphorical essence of sewing buttons and the profound symbolism it carries, which he has recently introduced into his works. Buttons, traditionally used to fasten garments and fabrics together, have now become a powerful symbol of unity in Tolulope's pieces. While we may inhabit different corners of the world, with diverse cultures, beliefs, and norms, there is a fundamental thread that binds us all together as human beings, the ties we share as humans are what the button signifies in his works. With an array of well-traveled works, Tolulope has been part of exhibitions both locally and internationally, such as his first exhibition in 2021 at the Art Pantheon Gallery in Lagos, Nigeria. This was followed by a virtual display at the Painters Painting Paintings [PPP] Gallery, United Kingdom. He spends his spare time in-between meeting people, asking questions, and traveling.

"Ben-day Sophia 1" Mixed media, Acrylic, spray paint, pigmented ink 36x28 canvas
By Ceravolo
Located in Southampton, NY
"Benday Sophia 1" pays tribute to those paintings that became the trademark of Ceravolo's unique and trend setting style of painting. His work is collected worldwide and is in many important collections including, Sir Elton John, Rod Stewart, Hugh Hefner and Prince Jefri of Brunei to name only a few. In addition to those, his paintings came to popular attention when he was commissioned to create 5 large scale paintings for the lobby of The Palladium Theatre in New York City. In this painting, Ceravolo has featured an image of his pop art painting of Sophia Loren, and combined it with a pattern of benday dots to create the basis of "Benday Sophia 1". He then paints his trademark brush strokes and textures on the canvas over the pop art portrait. Then, he paints the "floating" illusion that creates the 3d floating effect he is known for. The Canvas measures 36x28".
