Expressionist Figurative Paintings
EXPRESSIONIST STYLE
While “expressionist” is used to describe any art that avoids naturalism and instead employs a bold use of flattened forms and intense brushwork, Expressionist art formally describes early-20th-century work from Europe that drew on Symbolism and confronted issues such as urbanization and capitalism. Expressionist artists experimented in paintings and prints with skewed perspectives, abstraction and unconventional, bright colors to portray how isolating and anxious the world felt rather than how it appeared.
Between 1905 and 1920, Austrian and German artists, in particular, were inspired by Postimpressionists such as Paul Gauguin and Vincent van Gogh in their efforts to strive for a new authenticity in their work. In its geometric patterns and decorative details, Expressionist art was also marked by eclectic sources like German and Russian folk art as well as tribal art from Africa and Oceania, which the movement’s practitioners witnessed at museums and world’s fairs.
Groups of artists came together to share and promote the themes now associated with Expressionism, such as Die Brücke (The Bridge) in Dresden, which included Erich Heckel, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and Karl Schmidt-Rottluff and investigated alienation and the dissolution of society in vivid color. In Munich, Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider), a group led by Wassily Kandinsky and Franz Marc, instilled Expressionism with a search for spiritual truths. In his iconic painting The Scream, prolific Norwegian painter Edvard Munch conveyed emotional turmoil through his depiction of environmental elements, such as the threatening sky.
Expressionism shifted around the outbreak of World War I, with artists using more elements of the grotesque in reaction to the escalation of unrest and violence. Printmaking was especially popular, as it allowed artists to widely disseminate works that grappled with social and political issues amid this time of upheaval. Although the art movement ended with the rise of Nazi Germany, where Expressionist creators were labeled “degenerate,” the radical ideas of these artists would influence Neo-Expressionism that emerged in the late 1970s with painters like Jean-Michel Basquiat and Francesco Clemente.

Omowumi
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
The title "Omowumi" itself exudes a sense of elegance and mystery, drawing us into the realm of enchantment where the magical moments of life reside. The woman depicted in the painting stands as the embodiment of grace and serenity, radiating an aura of tranquility that mirrors the beauty of the flowers she holds. Her choice of attire, a flowing white armless gown, symbolizes purity and serves as a canvas for the vibrant colors of the bouquet to come alive.
The bouquet of flowers cradled in the woman's hands serves as the focal point of the artwork, and rightly so. Flowers, with their ephemeral beauty and fragrance, have long been a symbol of life's fleeting nature and the beauty that resides in transience. They remind us that life is a delicate dance, and every moment should be treasured and savored.

"Escape," a captivating artwork by the talented artist Simon Obeka, invites viewers into a world of contemplation and freedom. The centerpiece of the piece is a woman, elegantly turning sideways, her silhouette mirroring the graceful flight of birds in the background.
Obeka's masterful use of color and texture creates a dreamlike atmosphere, where the woman seems to transcend the confines of the canvas. The subdued palette captures the serenity of the moment, while hints of vibrant hues symbolize the untamed spirit of the birds taking flight.
The title, "Escape," hints at a narrative of liberation and release. The woman's gesture suggests a turning point, a deliberate decision to break free from the constraints of the mundane and soar into the limitless expanse of the unknown. The juxtaposition of the woman and the birds serves as a powerful metaphor for the human desire for independence, symbolizing the pursuit of one's dreams and the courage to embrace change.
Obeka's attention to detail is evident in the delicate rendering of the woman's form and the meticulous depiction of the birds in flight. The composition exudes a sense of harmony and balance, reinforcing the theme of transcendence.
"Escape" not only captivates the eye but also resonates on a deeper emotional level, inviting viewers to reflect on their aspirations and the universal quest for freedom. Simon Obeka's artwork serves as a visual poem, inspiring contemplation and celebrating the timeless desire to break free and soar beyond the boundaries of the ordinary.
