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.

Spring of Hope
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
"Spring of Hope," encapsulates the essence of the artwork. Just as spring represents a season of rejuvenation and new beginnings, the woman in this piece embodies the idea of hope blooming anew. The flowing scarf, with its gentle and fluid movement, conjures images of a gentle breeze, carrying with it the promise of better days ahead.
Oyindamola's use of color in "Spring of Hope" is both intentional and evocative. She employs soft, pastel hues that evoke a sense of serenity and optimism. The woman's visage radiates tranquility, and her eyes suggest a moment of introspection and inner peace. It's as if she is embracing the beauty of the present while eagerly anticipating the opportunities that the future may hold.
The central figure in "Spring of Hope" is rendered with remarkable attention to detail. Oyindamola captures the elegance and grace of the woman, who exudes a sense of poise and strength. Her closed eyes convey a sense of trust and surrender, suggesting a willingness to embrace the unknown with open arms.
Symbolism plays a crucial role in this artwork. The scarf, flowing around the woman's neck, is a powerful symbol of continuity and resilience. It represents the idea that no matter the challenges faced, there is always a thread of hope that connects us to a brighter future. The scarf's circular form also signifies the cyclical nature of life, where endings inevitably give way to new beginnings.
"Spring of Hope" is a painting that resonates deeply with viewers, inviting them to reflect on the ever-present possibility of renewal in their own lives. The closed eyes of the woman encourage introspection and a sense of connection with the universal human experience of longing for better days.

Adventure Story 1
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
"Adventure Story" is a homage to the rich cultural traditions passed down through generations. The artwork's protagonist, a male hunter, stands as a representation of the deep-rooted connection between man and nature, as well as the preservation of traditional practices. The wooden local gun he carries symbolizes both the tools of his trade and the ancestral knowledge that has been handed down through time.
Bello's artwork prompts us to appreciate the importance of preserving and honoring our cultural heritage. It serves as a reminder that our traditions, rituals, and stories hold invaluable wisdom and provide a link to our past, helping us understand who we are as individuals and as a collective.
The central theme of "Adventure Story" revolves around the spirit of adventure, encapsulated by the hunter in the artwork. The headlamp tied around his head signifies his readiness to explore the unknown and face the challenges that lie ahead. It speaks of the courage to navigate unfamiliar territories and the determination to embrace new experiences.
The headlamp, traditionally used to illuminate darkness, can also be interpreted metaphorically as a beacon of knowledge and enlightenment. It symbolizes the hunter's quest for wisdom and understanding, highlighting the importance of seeking knowledge as we venture into the uncharted territories of life.

Face Your Fears 2
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
"Face Your Fears" by Simon Obeka is a thought-provoking artwork that captures the essence of courage and self-discovery. At its core, the painting features a young woman adorned in a striking red scarf, her expression poised and determined, as if ready to confront the challenges that lie ahead.
The title, "Face Your Fears," serves as a powerful invitation for viewers to confront their fears and embrace the journey of personal growth and empowerment. Through the symbolism of the red scarf, which can evoke feelings of passion, determination, and vitality, Obeka conveys the idea that facing one's fears is not only a daunting task but also an opportunity for transformation and renewal.
The woman's confident posture and unwavering gaze suggest a willingness to confront adversity head-on, embodying the resilience and inner strength required to overcome obstacles. Whether literal or metaphorical, her journey serves as an inspiration for viewers to confront their fears and pursue their aspirations with courage and conviction.
Obeka's artwork serves as a reminder that while fear may be a natural part of the human experience, it is through facing and overcoming our fears that we can unlock our true potential and live life to the fullest. "Face Your Fears" encourages viewers to embrace discomfort as a catalyst for growth and to embark on their own journey towards self-discovery and empowerment.

"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.

Nakedness of Truth
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
Nakedness of Truth is an original painting by Abifola Olorunlana. Olorunlana created Nakedness of Truth with Acrylic on a 36W by 48H inches primed canvas.
Nakedness of Truth was made over a painting Abifola Olorunlana did and didn't like (an underlying painting depicting four figures fetching water from a river and gossiping about someone they didn't like). The Nakedness of Truth is a painting that advocates for people who belong to the LGBTQ community and salutes their unity in making the movement impactful globally.
For years many have stayed reclusive about their true identity due to religious beliefs, societal constructs, and government laws which have left many depressed till their last days, many were even killed for courageously coming out to state their true identity. This is depicted in the painting: dark yellow eyes sticking out of the woods to portray a sense of public rejection, yet my subject boldly stands out of the green woods and leaves to express courage, strength, and power.
