About the Item

Akinboye Akinola Peter is an emerging talent in the art world, hailing from Nigeria, and is quickly gaining recognition for his thought-provoking and visually captivating works. His distinctive style fuses elements of realism and surrealism, and he has a penchant for weaving intricate narratives into his creations. "Clouds" is a testament to Akinboye's unique perspective and artistic prowess. At the center of "Clouds" is a young man seated on a simple wooden table, his posture conveying a deep sense of contemplation and solitude. Beside him, a vintage radio stands, its presence adding an element of nostalgia and mystery to the scene. The young man's expression is introspection, as though he is engaged in a profound internal dialogue. The backdrop of "Clouds" is a stark contrast of elements. On one side, we see the gnarled branches of a dry, lifeless tree, devoid of leaves and growth. These branches reach across the canvas, symbolizing the challenges and hardships that life can bring, as well as the passage of time. Conversely, the sky above is filled with question marks forming ethereal clouds that envelop the scene. These clouds represent not only the questions we ask ourselves but also the larger existential mysteries that permeate our lives. They hang like a veil of uncertainty, shrouding the young man and the world around him in an enigma. "Clouds" is a visual symphony of symbolism that invites viewers to interpret its meaning on a personal level. The young man's solitude suggests a journey of self-discovery and introspection, as he grapples with life's mysteries. The presence of the radio could symbolize his search for answers or his attempt to drown out the questions with external distractions. The juxtaposition of the barren tree branches and the clouds of question marks underscores the duality of life—moments of growth and stagnation, clarity and ambiguity. It prompts us to consider the interplay between our external circumstances and our internal inquiries. "Clouds" by Akinboye Akinola Pete is a captivating artwork that transcends the boundaries of traditional art. It is an invitation to delve into our innermost thoughts and emotions, to confront the questions that define our existence. Through a masterful blend of striking imagery and thought-provoking symbolism, this piece reminds us that the quest for self-discovery and understanding is an essential part of the human experience. As Akinboye Akinola Peter continues to make waves in the art world, "Clouds" is a testament to his talent and ability to evoke deep contemplation in those who engage with his work. It is a masterpiece that encourages us to embrace the ambiguity and uncertainty that shape our lives, challenging us to seek answers within ourselves as we navigate the complex journey of existence.

Kings of the Renaissance Mohammad Ariyaei Contemporary Iranian art oriental art
By Mohammad Ariyaei
Located in Paris, FR
Acrylic paint on canvas Hand-signed Unique work THE THOUSAND AND ONE NIGHTS OF MOHAMMAD ARIYAEI " Gentleness and oriental wisdom follow the supercharged bubbling to which we were accustomed from the previous deliberately art brut exhibition by Mohammad ARIYAEI. The Iranian painter's imagination moves serenely from the wildest frenzy to the meditative calm of great, fabulous stories. The artist then took pleasure in pouring the volcanic torrent of his barbaric figures onto the delicate latticework with which he is accustomed to lining his backgrounds with the patience of an illuminating monk. Already sweetness and paroxysm coexisted. Now gentleness wins. The trained imagination of the painter, yet spontaneously bubbling, by instinct as much as by erudition, has no difficulty in reconnecting with the abundant oriental tradition of the thousand and one nights, which, like a long underground river, resurfaces at the light of his painting. Spring renewal of traditions still alive. Systematic filling of space, a sort of oriental version of the Riches Heures...
