About the Item

Shipping Procedure FREE Shipping Worldwide Ships in a well-protected tube from Nigeria This work is unique, this is not a print or other type of copy. Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity (Issued by the Gallery) "The Two Kinds of Life" is a thought-provoking artwork that eloquently portrays the intricate tapestry of existence, emphasizing the interconnected nature of all living things. The painting explores profound themes such as the value of life, the significance of our actions, and the inevitability of mortality. In this artwork, the artist uses a blend of vivid and muted colours to represent the dual aspects of life: vibrancy and vitality on one hand, and the somber inevitability of death on the other. The vibrant areas of the painting might illustrate flourishing life, symbolizing joy, growth, and the potential for positive impact. These sections are interwoven with more subdued tones, representing the finite nature of life and the quiet approach to the end. Through "The Two Kinds of Life," the artist conveys a message about the importance of making a meaningful impact while we are alive. It suggests that despite the inevitable end, the true measure of our lives lies in the legacy we leave behind, the lives we touch, and the positive changes we bring about in our world. This duality invites viewers to reflect on their own lives and consider how they can contribute to the world in a meaningful way before their time comes to an end. In essence, "The Two Kinds of Life" is a poignant reminder of our mortality and a call to action. It urges us to appreciate the preciousness of life, to live fully, and to strive to make a positive difference, ensuring that the impact of our existence reverberates long after we are gone. This artwork not only captures the beauty and complexity of life but also serves as an inspiration to embrace our capacity for change and to live with intention and purpose. About Artist Being an impressionist artist, born in a small town in Osun state, Nigeria, Dunmade Ayegbayo grew to develop an interest in art due to his first experience as an artist during his visit to Osun Osogbo Festival, a Festival that is well celebrated and acknowledged in west-African and beyond. and the second experience that broadened his horizon was visiting a museum in Ile-Ife due to the story of an ancient gold mined in Ilesha, Osun State. this gave him the revelation to be more connected to nature and become a naturalist. Dunmade has been influenced by Damola Ayegbayo (An Expressionist artist), the Late Caleb Adegoke (a sculptor and his grandfather), and Jean Michelle Basquiat, His bold work and the story behind those works, have inspired Dunmade to explore the roots behind human relationships with colours. "I believe that being an artist is something that one is born to do and being alive is a celebration", "I went on to study through practical experience and self-learning by studying the works of Damola Ayegbayo and other great artists. I work primarily with Acrylic and I currently work from Ibadan, Nigeria"

Life Cycle, Painting, Acrylic on Canvas
By Angela Dierks
Located in Yardley, PA
This beautifully vibrant floral abstract piece has been influenced by mood rather than imagery. Like all of my work it grew out of a process, where I am largely guided by the emerging painting. My starting point and guiding principle is colour. In this piece I worked with beautiful hues of blue, pink, purple and green. The painting has been built over many layers of paint. I enjoyed bold, loose brush strokes and more detailed mark making in this piece. I mixed my own paint using artist pigments...

By Pamela Ross
Located in Yardley, PA
OBLADI OBLADA, by Pamela Boullier Ross, speaks to the artist's evolution as a painter through clever experimentation with style and technique in this distinctly one-of-a-kind original masterpiece. "Obladi Oblada... Life Goes On" is a fun and happy painting that was the result of an art critic, a stranger who have me a heart, a discovery in paint technique and the additive 3-D elements of copper wire, scraps from the floor of my friend Rocco, a mobile artist in the studio next door, composition to The Beatles White Album. P.S.: The Art Critic...
