About the Item

"Diaphanous" is a captivating artwork that captures the beauty of a moment in time. Created by the talented artist, Akinboye Akinola Peter, this piece depicts a young man squatting and staring at a rose flower lying on a black and white tiled floor. The use of monochrome colors, black and white, creates a sense of simplicity and elegance. The use of light and shadow adds depth to the piece and emphasizes the textures of the tiled floor and the rose flower. The young man in the artwork appears to be deep in thought, captivated by the beauty of the rose flower. His posture, squatting down to get a closer look, suggests that he is taking a moment to appreciate the small things in life. This sense of stillness and reflection is emphasized by the calmness of the scene. The title "Diaphanous" is fitting because it suggests something delicate and transparent, like the petals of a rose flower. The rose flower in the artwork is the centerpiece of the piece, and its beauty is emphasized by the simplicity of the scene. The use of negative space in the artwork is also significant. The black and white tiled floor creates a strong contrast with the rose flower, emphasizing its beauty and making it the focal point of the piece. The negative space also creates a sense of emptiness, emphasizing the stillness and serenity of the scene. In conclusion, "Diaphanous" is a stunning artwork that captures the beauty and stillness of a moment in time. It reminds us of the importance of taking a moment to appreciate the small things in life and to find beauty in the simplest of things. The use of monochrome colors, negative space, and light and shadow adds depth and texture to the piece, emphasizing the beauty of the rose flower and the stillness of the scene. It is a testament to the power of art to capture the essence of a moment and to inspire and uplift us.

Nakedness of Truth
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
Nakedness of Truth is an original painting by Abifola Olorunlana. Olorunlana created Nakedness of Truth with Acrylic on a 36W by 48H inches primed canvas. Nakedness of Truth was made over a painting Abifola Olorunlana did and didn't like (an underlying painting depicting four figures fetching water from a river and gossiping about someone they didn't like). The Nakedness of Truth is a painting that advocates for people who belong to the LGBTQ community and salutes their unity in making the movement impactful globally. For years many have stayed reclusive about their true identity due to religious beliefs, societal constructs, and government laws which have left many depressed till their last days, many were even killed for courageously coming out to state their true identity. This is depicted in the painting: dark yellow eyes sticking out of the woods to portray a sense of public rejection, yet my subject boldly stands out of the green woods and leaves to express courage, strength, and power.
