About the Item
"Face to Face" by Aba Linus is a thought-provoking and enigmatic artwork that presents a powerful visual representation of human connection and communication. In this piece, two young men are depicted facing each other, both blindfolded with a white cloth. The title, "Face to Face," hints at the central theme of the artwork, which explores the nuances of human interaction and the barriers that can obstruct our ability to truly understand one another.
The blindfolds symbolize the limitations and preconceived notions that can hinder effective communication. By obscuring their vision, the subjects are forced to rely on other senses and non-verbal cues to connect. This piece encourages viewers to reflect on the ways in which we perceive and relate to one another, highlighting the importance of empathy, active listening, and the willingness to step out of our comfort zones to truly engage in meaningful dialogue.
The use of a white cloth as the blindfold carries a sense of purity and neutrality, underlining the idea that meaningful connections between individuals should transcend biases and judgments. "Face to Face" challenges us to question our assumptions and biases and prompts us to approach interpersonal relationships with an open heart and mind.
Aba Linus' "Face to Face" is a compelling work that invites viewers to contemplate the complexity of human interaction and the transformative power of genuine communication. It serves as a reminder that understanding one another often requires a willingness to remove the blindfolds we carry and truly engage in a face-to-face, open-hearted exchange.

Influence
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
The artwork titled "Influence" depicts a lady who appears to be lost in thought. She is portrayed with a blue and yellow color around her neck, which stands out against the grey background. The artwork is captivating, and it seems to tell a story of its own.
The lady's posture suggests that she is deep in thought, perhaps reflecting on something significant. The blue and yellow colors around her neck add to the intrigue, leaving the viewer to wonder about their meaning. The colors are bold and bright, almost as if they are trying to break through the grey background.
The title of the artwork, "Influence," adds another layer to the piece's meaning. It could be interpreted as the lady being influenced by something or someone, or perhaps she is the one who exerts influence on others. Either way, the title makes the artwork more thought-provoking and leaves the viewer with questions.
The use of color in the artwork is striking. The blue and yellow around the lady's neck create a sense of vibrancy and life. The grey background, while muted, provides a subtle contrast that emphasizes the colors around her neck. The color choices are deliberate, each color has its own symbolic meaning. Blue is often associated with calmness, trust, and communication, while yellow is associated with optimism, happiness, and energy.
The overall composition of the artwork is simple yet powerful. The lady is the focal point of the piece, and her posture and expression convey a sense of introspection. The blue and yellow colors around her neck draw the viewer's attention, and the grey background provides a sense of stillness and calmness.
The artwork is open to interpretation, and the viewer may interpret it in different ways. Some may see it as a representation of someone deep in thought, while others may see it as a symbol of inner strength and influence. Whatever the interpretation, the artwork is visually striking and thought-provoking.
In conclusion, "Influence" is a beautiful and thought-provoking artwork that portrays a lady lost in thought with blue and yellow colors around her neck on a grey background. The artwork's title and use of color add to its complexity, leaving the viewer with questions and interpretations. It is a testament to the power of art and its ability to evoke emotions and stimulate the mind.
