Aba Linus
Lady on Blue 2

2022

About the Item

"Lady on Blue 2" is a captivating piece of art that features a lady with blue skin sitting in a seductive pose. The painting portrays a woman who is both alluring and mysterious, with an aura that commands attention. Created by Aba Linus, this work of art has a certain je ne sais quoi that captivates the viewer's imagination. The central figure in the painting is the lady with blue skin, who sits with one arm stretched out sideways and the other at the back of her hair. Her pose is suggestive, and her gaze is direct as if she is looking sideways. Her blue skin adds a sense of other worldliness to the painting, making it feel almost like a fantasy. The background of the painting is a deep, rich brown, which further enhances the lady's blue skin. The contrast between the blue of the woman and the brown of the background creates a sense of depth, drawing the viewer into the painting. The brushstrokes are fluid and graceful, adding to the sense of movement and allure. There is a certain ambiguity to this painting that makes it intriguing. Is the lady on display for the viewer's pleasure, or is she lost in her own thoughts? Is she waiting for someone, or is she simply enjoying the moment? The painting leaves these questions unanswered, inviting the viewer to create their own interpretation. In conclusion, "Lady on Blue 2" is a stunning piece of art that captures the viewer's attention with its seductive central figure and alluring background. The use of blue throughout the painting creates a sense of depth and other worldliness, while the lady's pose and clothing add to the overall sense of sensuality. The ambiguity of the painting invites interpretation, making it a fascinating work of art that can be appreciated by all.

  • I Expect
    Located in Ibadan, Oyo
    "I Expect," serves as a potent invitation to dive into the narrative within the frame. The image of a young woman, dressed in jewelry that exudes elegance and sophistication, immediately captures the eye. Her adornments—exquisite earrings and a white necklace—hint at a longing for beauty, meaning, or something more profound. These symbols of refinement and grace offer a glimpse into the desires that lie within the heart of every individual. Especially intriguing is the phrase that accompanies the artwork: "What is it you've been waiting for all these while? It's natural for humans to want more out of life. Being in expectation is evidence of hope...." These words shed light on the artist's intention, inviting viewers to consider the motivations behind their own anticipations and yearnings. The choice of earrings and a necklace as accessories in the artwork symbolizes the pursuit of both material and intangible desires—perhaps success, love, fulfillment, or personal growth.
