About the Item

Sumo wrestler is painted on blackboard on canvas with blackboard paint. The mathematical formula, U=abs (I---(C – B)) formula for Uncertainty from the research biologist Michael Dickinson who works with drosophila, fruit flies on decision-making. Uncertainty equals absolute value times impact times cost minus benefit. Sumo wrestling takes place in the sacred circle of the 14th C Shinto ritual to entertains the gods with games of balance playing with uncertainty. It is considered a form of purification in the arena of the relationship of the uncertainty between dualities. The electric blue hand reaches for the Sumo wrestling and also for the dancer in Creative Wellspring.

Untitled Black - Large Textural Original Abstract Artwork - Ready to Hang
By Olympio
Located in Los Angeles, CA
This large textural abstract energetic artwork on canvas by Togolese artist Olympio is a unique mixed media painting with a raw and direct aesthetic, providing an unfiltered manifestation of the artist's soul. Its expressive brushstrokes and vibrant color palette and the incorporation of an additional piece of canvas to the surface add an extra dimension of texture and interest to this already captivating piece. Olympio's raw and direct approach to mixed media and collage on canvas creates a tactile experience that provides a captivating insight into the artist's creative vision. Bright, energetic marks encircle rough textures that are perfectly balanced by the peaceful compositions beneath, creating a sense of harmony and balance in this exceptional artwork. This 60 inch square mixed-media painting is signed by Olympio on the back of the canvas. His technique brings forth a powerful composition of color and texture. Several details emphasize the texture and materiality of his canvases. The painting is wired and ready to hang. The sides of the artwork are painted and it does not require framing. Free local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable U.S. and global shipping are available. A Certificate of Authenticity issued by Artplex Gallery is included. Painting, for Olympio, is following a feeling. It is discovering the internal balance of a piece and recognizing beauty when it is unveiled. In his early 20's in the coastal city of Lomé, he would watch the sky slip from blues into oranges and reds. These colors captured him and drew forward the pieces that have since brought his work into galleries around the globe. He now resides in Los Angeles and is collected worldwide.
