Artist biography
Tobiasse was born in Jaffa, Israel, to Lithuanian immigrant parents, but moved to Paris at the age of four. From a young age, he showed a fascination and talent for painting, when, during a visit to the 1937 Exposition Universelle in Paris, he was transfixed by Raoul Dufy’s La Fée Electricité, before going on to study at the National School of Decorative Arts.
During the Nazi occupation of Paris, the Tobiasse family took refuge in their small Parisian flat. During these two years in hiding, Tobiasse painted and played chess with his father, the chessboard pattern becoming a regular motif in his later work. Following the liberation of Paris, Tobiasse worked as an advertising artist, creating tapestries, stage sets and window decorations for Hermès. It was during his travels and his study of Old Master paintings in the museums which he visited, that Tobiasse learnt his technique, notably from Rembrandt’s Jewish Bride at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
After receiving his French citizenship in 1950, Tobiasse moved to Nice, where his artistic expression reached its peak. In 1960, his work was shown at the Palais de la Mediterranée and the Salon des Peintres du Sud-Est, winning the prize ‘Jeune peintre méditerranéenne’ in 1961 and the Dorothy Gould Prize. These accolades launched his career. In 1962, the art dealer Armand Drouant exhibited Tobiasse’s work at the Galerie du Faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris, and over the following years, his work was exhibited in cities such as Geneva, Tokyo, London, Zurich, Los Angeles, and New York.
Best-known for his Expressionistic paintings and his bold use of colour and loose brushstrokes, Tobiasse’s work frequently revolved around the theme of memory. His subjects are often drawn from his real-life experiences and reveal a nostalgia for his childhood. He depicted the buses and trains that brought his family to France, the confusion of the railway stations, steamboats on the Niemen in Lithuania and sledges in the snowy streets of Kosovo, as well as symbols of familial comfort like the humble tea-pot and fires. Tobiasse found a way to work his private emotions into his paintings, writing a tantalising personal secret in Yiddish and gluing it onto the canvas before painting over it. He teased the viewer that they cannot see the message without destroying the painting.
Tobiasse’s work combines an extremely personal iconography with other recurring motifs such as women as maternal figures and as lovers, erotic fantasies, the theme of exile as represented by the trains and busy crowds. His use of symbolic Judeo-Christian imagery and Biblical scenes has led to comparisons to the renowned French-Russian painter Marc Chagall. He rendered these themes with vibrant colours and expressive brushstrokes. Unrestricted by his choice of medium, he chose to experiment with colour and texture, using oil paint, gouache, as well as mixed media, collage and acrylic. In 1976, having moved to a new studio in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, he continued to explore new techniques such as lithography, pottery, sculpture and engraving, inspired by the sculptures and markings at the Aztec sites of the Yucatan in Mexico.
In addition to his paintings, Tobiasse created several public works, including stained-glass works for the Jewish Community Centre in Nice and for other various institutions in Strasbourg and Nice, and a monumental fountain entitled “L’Enfant Fou” for Nice Airport. His non-pictorial repertoire also included costumes and stage sets for Bernard Shaw’s “Pygmalion,” ceramics, pottery and bronze sculptures. Numerous exhibitions and one-man shows have been dedicated to his work across the globe, including at the Galerie Drouant in Paris, Geneva, Montreal, Tokyo, London, Zurich, Lausanne, Los Angeles, Kiev, and his first solo exhibition in New York in 1968.

Théo Tobiasse
Born in Palestine in 1927 and brought to Paris as a child, Theo Tobiasse created his earliest drawings before World War II. After the war, having spent the crucial years of his youth hiding from the Nazis in a Paris apartment, he became a successful commercial designer until 1961, when he decided to devote his full attention to painting. Tobiasse's style of painting is highly sophisticated. His technique is a painterly blend of surrealism, expressionism, and modern primitivism. His themes are literary, often biblical, and at times, erotic. His paintings seem to transcend history - fusing dreams, mythologies, biblical stories and his own past - into rich metaphors for the world of the present. An internationally acclaimed artist, Tobiasse's works are included in numerous private, corporate and museum collections worldwide.

Biography
Orovida Camille Pissarro, the only child of Lucien and Esther Pissarro, was the first woman in the Pissarro family to become a professional artist and the first Pissarro of her generation to take up painting. Born in Epping, England, in 1893, she lived and worked predominantly in London, where she was a prominent member of several British arts clubs and societies.
She first learned to paint in the Impressionist style from her father and, after a brief period of formal study with Walter Sickert in 1913, she renounced formal art schooling.
Throughout her career, Orovida always remained outside mainstream British art movements. Much to Lucien's disappointment, she soon turned away from naturalistic painting and developed an unusual style that combined elements of Japanese, Chinese, Persian and Indian art. Her rejection of Impressionism, which, for the Pissarro family, was a way of life, and her simultaneous decision to drop her famous last name and use simply Orovida as a nom de peintre, reflected a desire for independence and distance from the family legacy, of which she nevertheless remained proud.
Orovida's most distinctive works are her paintings from the 1920s...

Located in Ibadan, Oyo
In "Moment of Reflections," Olatunbosun transports the audience into a world of contemplation and self-discovery. The centerpiece of the artwork is a young man seated in a casual, relaxed manner. His pose conveys a sense of tranquility as if he has found solace in the moments of quiet contemplation. The attention to detail in the artwork is striking, with intricate brushwork bringing out the textures of the subject's clothing and the surrounding environment.
The setting of the artwork is deliberately minimalistic, allowing the viewer to focus entirely on the young man's expression and demeanor. The background is a subtle blend of soft colors, suggesting an ethereal space where thoughts roam freely. This simplicity further accentuates the theme of reflection, as the absence of distractions allows viewers to immerse themselves in their own thoughts while contemplating the emotions conveyed by the subject.
Olatunbosun's "Moment of Reflections" is a remarkable piece that resonates deeply with viewers from all walks of life. The young man's expression exudes a sense of inner peace, prompting viewers to ponder their own life experiences and contemplate the paths they have taken. This introspective quality of the artwork creates an intimate connection between the audience and the subject, allowing for a deeply personal and emotional experience.
The painting's title, "Moment of Reflections," is deliberately chosen to reinforce the idea of taking a moment for self-exploration and soul-searching. In the hustle and bustle of modern life, we often overlook the importance of pausing and reflecting on our journey. Olatunbosun's artwork serves as a gentle reminder to find time for introspection and to appreciate the beauty in moments of quietude.
What makes "Moment of Reflections" even more extraordinary is its ability to transcend cultural boundaries. The emotions depicted in the artwork are universal, touching the core of human experiences.

In conclusion, Samson Olatunbosun's "Moment of Reflections" is a timeless masterpiece that captures the human spirit with its simplicity and emotional depth. Through his brilliant artistic skill, Olatunbosun creates an atmosphere of introspection, inviting viewers to engage in their own moments of contemplation and self-discovery. This extraordinary artwork serves as a poignant reminder of the power of art to connect us all through our shared humanity and emotions. As we gaze upon the young man seated in a relaxed manner, we are reminded to embrace the beauty of silence, to reflect on our past, and to seek meaning in the present – a truly profound and impactful journey offered by the artistic genius of Samson Olatunbosun.
