About the Item
"Ireti (Hope)" is a thought-provoking artwork created by the talented artist Olalekan Adeyemi. This captivating piece centers around a young woman and delves into the profound theme of hope and the fragility of life. With meticulous attention to detail, Adeyemi masterfully crafts an abstract exercise that engages viewers' senses and emotions.
At the heart of the artwork is the delicate representation of cracks, carefully rendered in exquisite detail. These cracks serve as a visual metaphor, symbolizing the fragile nature of human existence. They evoke a sense of vulnerability, reminding us of the ephemeral and unpredictable quality of life. The intricacy of these cracks creates an abstract exercise that invites viewers to contemplate the transient and unpredictable journey of life.
The young woman at the center of the composition becomes a poignant symbol of hope amid this fragility. Her presence exudes a sense of resilience and strength. In the face of life's challenges and uncertainties, she stands as a beacon of optimism and determination. Her gaze seems to convey a sense of purpose as if she is looking toward a brighter future.
"Ireti (Hope)" is a powerful testament to the artist's ability to convey complex emotions and ideas through visual storytelling. It challenges viewers to reflect on the paradox of life's fragility and its potential for resilience and renewal. Olalekan Adeyemi's work encourages us to see hope as a driving force, even in the face of life's most intricate challenges and reminds us of the beauty that can emerge from vulnerability.

About Artist
Olalekan Adeyemi [B.1988] hail from Osun State, Nigeria. He is a painter of visually engaging and photo-surrealistic paintings. He infuses a strong socio-cultural interpretation into his strict patience in searching for an aesthetic representation and an avenue to extract the best of his creativity.
He seeks to illustrate more than what meets the eye, which inspires his choice of a dynamic rendition style to captivate viewers to look more than once but repeatedly and with a new find at each encounter...
He strongly perceives the affairs of life as a peeling-off process; just as the skin is shed, first comes the loss of hold to the former ground, then follows the cracking or peeling off, which leaves suggestive evidence of time for every reason. This conscious experience transcends any time, present or past. "I want my works to be timeless and still have relative experience when encountered because just as time goes on, life goes on".
He is a Fine and Applied Arts graduate and holds a B. Tech (Hons.) from the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso. He has participated in numerous group exhibitions in Nigeria and his work is found in many private collections in Nigeria and abroad with an annual feature in the October Rain exhibition of the Lagos state chapter of the Society of Nigerian Artists (SNA). Winner of the Next of Kin (Series 4, 2022), an annual juried competition.
