About the Item
"Bimbo" by Aba Linus is an exquisite portrayal of timeless elegance and grace. The centerpiece of this enchanting artwork is a young woman, adorned with a stylish hat perched atop her head, holding a pristine white rose in her delicate hands.
The woman's poise and expression exude a quiet confidence and a hint of introspection. Aba Linus captures the essence of a moment suspended in time, where beauty and simplicity converge to create a captivating visual narrative. The white rose, a symbol of purity and innocence, serves as a delicate accessory, complementing the woman's refined demeanor.
The play of light and shadow adds depth to the composition, accentuating the contours of the woman's features and casting a gentle glow on the petals of the rose. The hat, with its artistic flair, becomes a distinctive element, adding a touch of sophistication to the overall ambiance.
"Bimbo" is not merely a portrait; it is a celebration of femininity, grace, and the timeless allure of natural beauty. Aba Linus' meticulous attention to detail and choice of title invites viewers to appreciate the simplicity and elegance encapsulated in this singular moment—a moment where the young woman and the white rose coalesce in perfect harmony, creating a visual ode to the enduring charm of classic aesthetics.

- Last ShotLocated in Ibadan, OyoAt the heart of "Last Shot" is a young woman, the central character of this evocative piece. She is fully absorbed in the game of snooker, her posture and facial expression revealing intense concentration and determination. The artist has deliberately obscured all the colored snooker balls, leaving only the white ball visible. This compositional choice draws the viewer's attention to the player's anticipation of her "last shot." The backdrop of "Last Shot" is a dimly lit snooker hall, creating an atmosphere of suspense and intrigue. The faint glow of overhead lights accentuates the drama of the moment, casting shadows that add depth and complexity to the scene. The absence of details surrounding the white ball and the player's narrowed focus on it contributes to the overall feeling of precision and concentration. "Last Shot" is a visual metaphor for life's critical moments—those decisive occasions when everything hinges on a single move. By obscuring the colored balls and leaving only the white ball visible, the artwork symbolizes the importance of making the right choices, even when faced with uncertainty and obscurity. The young woman's unwavering focus on her last shot encourages viewers to consider their own pivotal moments in life. It prompts reflection on the significance of each action and the consequences that follow, reminding us that sometimes, a single move can determine the course of our journey.

- Local #2Located in Nashville, TNArtist Nathaniel Covington constructs bold, colorfully sculpted papier-mâché monster masks and large, pop art creature paintings. His art pieces have simple lines, set against solid color backgrounds. For Nathaniel, the process starts with rough sketches on paper, wood, skateboards - just about anything he can draw on, allowing him the vision to finalize his art. The making of masks started about 3 years ago and he fell in love with the process. It’s an opportunity to bring to life all the “Creatures” and wildly funny things living in my head. He says, "I’d like the art pieces that I make to evoke some sort of emotion when they are seen.” He’s predominately influenced by 1969’s-1980’s “Creature Feature Films”, horror soundtracks, Sci-Fi magazines, plus a dash of Ed Roth.Category
