About the Item

Shipping Procedure FREE Shipping Worldwide Ships in a well-protected tube from Nigeria This work is unique, not a print or other type of copy. Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. Adaugo is the third piece in Lynda Charles’ collection, "You and I in Color." With the collection, she explores how colors could show a new side of people that her previous media (charcoal and paper) just couldn't. Adaugo in Charles’ native tongue loosely translates to daughter of wealth and royalty. She is enamored by the name because, regardless of your background, everybody wants to believe they are special and cherished; it's a significant part of human identity, and Charles felt compelled to include it in the collection. When you look at Adaugo, she hopes you get the feeling of importance and self-worth. About Artist Lynda Charles uses acrylic and charcoal to depict human dynamics that she believes are often deprived of the attention they need. She approaches her work as a Nigerian woman with a rapidly expanding worldview and understanding of the experiences that bind humanity. Inspired by Frida Kahlo, Charles prioritizes the subjects and overall emotions she seeks to represent above all else. As a result, her body of work is mostly based on the relationships people have with themselves (their self-ideal, and how they want to be perceived) and others. She is partial to portraying the female form either in solitude or in interaction with people and objects that have a profound impact on her worldview. Viewers are more likely to find her pieces portrayed at a life-sized scale as she believes that the smallest details, whether it’s facial expressions or shades and hues, can render the most meaning. Her art could be described as simulating a “through the looking glass” experience, with a strong pull on observers to take a second longer and ponder what they see. It is simply provocative, emotionally charged, and demands attention.
