About the Item

Janet Adebayo's exquisite artwork, "Hiding the Emotions," captivates viewers with its poignant portrayal of a young woman holding a rose-like flower. This evocative piece transcends traditional art forms, creating a powerful connection between the audience and the subject. Adebayo's use of color and composition is striking. The young woman, with a visage marked by subtle melancholy, gazes away from the delicate, crimson bloom she cradles in her hand. The contrast between her auburn hair and the vibrancy of the flower enhances the symbolism of her inner emotions. The rose-like flower serves as a symbolic extension of her emotions, as she conceals her feelings behind the floral façade. The viewer is left to wonder about the thoughts and emotions that the young woman may be hiding. A sense of mystery and introspection surrounds the artwork, inviting contemplation on the complexities of human emotions and the masks we wear to conceal them. "Hiding the Emotions" resonates with viewers, drawing them into a world of unspoken feelings and personal struggles. Janet Adebayo's masterful creation, "Hiding the Emotions," reminds us of the profound depth of emotion that can be expressed through art. This painting is a testament to the artist's ability to capture the human experience in all its subtlety and nuance, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts and minds of those fortunate enough to behold it.

About Artist Janet Adenike Adebayo (b. 1997) is a self-taught Nigerian artist, born in Lagos and based in Lagos as an artist. She began her journey as a painter in 2017. She refers to herself as a “confessional” artist, as her art is an expression of intimate moments and openness of truths and feelings others may be otherwise shy to confront. Adebayo expresses herself using acrylic and mixed media on canvas, employing techniques such as her signature “mosaic skin” tones, fusing a collage of colors to create humanoid figures, made obvious by exaggerated features. Janet Adebayo’s work is an extension of herself, paving the way for personal development. Her work is largely inspired by traumatic events, her everyday life, and the dynamic nature of family ties. She paints her reality, sometimes the counterparts of negative emotions and experiences in others to create fantasies that evoke a sense of belonging and momentary escape. Her current works showcase her perspective on subject matters such as family as a unit, pain, and bereavement, the idea of masculinity, self-awareness, and appraisal.
