Blue Towel 1
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
"Blue Towel" is an artistic composition that demands our attention. The woman wrapped in the titular blue towel stands as a metaphor for the delicate nature of the human condition. The choice of a towel, an item commonly associated with comfort, adds a layer of paradox, suggesting that beneath the surface, vulnerability and uncertainty may reside.
The color blue further amplifies the artwork's emotive power. Blue, often associated with tranquility, introspection, and depth, offers a subtle insight into the subject's state of mind. It prompts us to consider the significance of self-reflection and the search for personal meaning that lies beneath the facade we present to the world.
Bello's "Blue Towel" invites viewers to delve into the multifaceted nature of vulnerability and identity. The woman's posture and gaze suggest introspection as if she is immersed in deep thought, grappling with the layers that make up her sense of self. The vulnerability expressed in her body language encourages us to reflect on our own journeys of self-discovery and the masks we wear to shield our vulnerabilities from the world.
The blue towel enveloping the lady can also be interpreted as a symbolic cocoon, representing a transformative stage in her life. It alludes to the moments of introspection and self-exploration that are essential for personal growth and understanding. Just as a caterpillar retreats into a cocoon before emerging as a butterfly, the woman in the artwork may be undergoing her own metamorphosis.

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.

My Reflection
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
I walked up to the mirror and I was heartbroken. My heart wandered, earth broken.
I saw my pains, anxiety, lies, and burdens staring at me.
I hated the fact that I might be blind.
My reality has been bound, I realized the mirror might be deceiving; false info I am receiving.
I turned to society due to my uncertainty to be a mirror and it said, you are too kind to be real, too beautiful to serve God, too smart for the Gospel, and too holy for us.
You are lagging behind leaving no mark behind.
Then I turned to the Word and I am reflected for who I am, not perfected for the world. I might be flawed yet there was room for correction.
And it was pointing in the right direction.

Her medium of art is expressed in traditional Adire and Ankara fabric with a blend of acrylic on canvas. Her journey into art began at an early stage while watching her father work on various forms of art as a seasoned professional. For, Arike, Art was second nature as she lived and dreamed of art in an environment beaming with top professionals and ardent art enthusiasts.

Her pieces are reflective of her personality as she loves to incorporate vibrant colors and whimsical designs.
With her early start in the Art scene, Arike has been able to apprentice under renowned masters in the Art sector like the globally acclaimed proponent of Contemporary Black Art, Oluwole Omofemi. Her work was selected for the prestigious Art fellowship themed: Telling textile tales. The program sponsored by the British Council had in attendance notable heavyweights like Uzoma Samuel and Laura Jones among other participants. She successfully presented papers on the forms of Art she practice and the ethics guiding her creative enterprise.
She has also been greatly inspired by leading female artists in the likes of Marcellina Akpojotor, Bisa Butler...

Reuven Rubin Israeli Aubusson Wool Tapestry Judaica George Goldstein Jerusalem
By Reuven Rubin
Located in Surfside, FL
This is an Aubusson style flat weave hand woven wool tapestry. This is from the George Goldstein Atelier in Jerusalem. (Originally known as Nazareth Tapestries) They produced genuine handmade Gobelin tapestries in Israel). This does not bear a label and is not signed, (it might be one of a kind) It might have been a study for a larger piece. It is based on a painting of a fisherman. In 1964 the first French style weaving studio was inaugurated in Israel, in the new city of Nazareth Ilit. With the encouragement of master Jean Lurcat, woven upon several contemporary masters’ original sketches, such as Jean Lurcat, Hans Hartung, Adolph Gottlieb, Karel Appel, Yaacov Agam, Mordecai Ardon, Reuven Rubin, Danny Caravan, and more. Some of these tapestries encountered their moments of glory during the international exhibitions, such as in the Museum of Modern Art (NY), “Expo Montreal” (Canada), Biennale of Lausanne (Switzerland), and others. In 1967, after the Six-Day War, Nazareth’s workshop closed its doors and returned to Jerusalem, where I opened a new studio with a young team made up of eighteen artisans, dedicating their work more specifically towards Israeli artists. The tapestries are woven upon the original sketches of Yohanan Simon, Naftali Bezem. They can be seen on the walls of the Israeli President’s residence, the Yeshiva University of New York, the University of Haifa, New York Bank Discount, as 60-square meter tapestries for the Shaare Zedek Medical Center, Jerusalem, and in ceremonial art. Tapestries for Parochet and Torah mantles are seen in Washington, Bet-El Springfield, Babson College, Boston, Bet-El Univ. Andover, Bet-El Highland Park and the Strasbourg Great Synagogue in France.

An elegant and sophisticated decorative touch in any living space, portrait paintings have remained popular throughout the years and are widely loved pieces of art for display in many homes today.
Portrait paintings are at least as old as ancient Egypt, where realistic, lifelike depictions of the recently deceased — commonly known as “mummy portraits” — were painted on wooden panels and affixed to mummies as part of the burial tradition.
For centuries, painters have used portraiture as a means of expressing a subject’s nobility, societal status and authority. Portraits were given as gifts in Renaissance Europe, and a portrait artist might have been commissioned to help mark a significant occasion such as a wedding or a promotion to high office. Prior to the advent of photography, which eventually replaced painted portraits as a quicker and more efficient way of capturing a person’s essence, the subject of a portrait had to sit for hours until the painter had finished. And during the 18th century in particular, if an artist commissioned for a portrait struggled with how to adequately memorialize and capture a subject’s likeness, sometimes a portrait painting wasn’t completed for up to a year.
Whether it’s part of the gallery-style approach to your living-room or dining-room walls or merely inspiration as you devise an eye-grabbing color scheme in your home, a portrait painting is a timeless decorative object for any interior. A landscape painting or sculpture might give you the kind of insight into a specific region of the world or a different culture that you can ascertain only through art. Similarly, when you take the time to learn about the subject of a portrait painting that you bring into your home — the sitter’s history, the relationship between the sitter and the artist should one exist, the story of how the portrait came to be — that work can become intensely personal in addition to its place as an object for an art-hungry corner of your apartment or house.
