Olaosun Oluwapelumi
Hold Me Close In This Difficult Time

2023

About the Item

Art is a powerful medium for conveying emotions, and Olaosun Oluwapelumi's artwork "Hold Me Close in This Difficult Time" is a prime example of this. The piece features two people embracing each other tightly on a vibrant floral patterned background, creating a sense of warmth, comfort, and hope. The artwork's title suggests that it was created during a challenging time, and the image reflects the need for human connection and comfort in difficult times. The figures' body language conveys a sense of deep emotional connection, with their bodies tightly intertwined and their faces pressed together. The use of warm colors in the background and the vibrant floral pattern creates a sense of optimism and positivity as if the flowers are representing the beauty and resilience of life in the face of adversity. The artwork's composition is balanced and harmonious, with the figures positioned in the center of the image, creating a focal point that draws the viewer's attention. The figures' bodies are rendered in bold, gestural strokes, while the background is more detailed, with intricate floral patterns that add depth and texture to the image. One of the striking aspects of "Hold Me Close in This Difficult Time" is the way that it captures the intimacy and vulnerability of human connection. The figures are not idealized or stylized but rather are rendered with a raw and honest emotional intensity. The artwork suggests that in times of hardship, we need to rely on each other for support and comfort and that even the simplest of gestures, such as a hug, can be powerful enough to sustain us. Overall, Olaosun Oluwapelumi's "Hold Me Close in This Difficult Time" is a beautiful and powerful work of art that captures the essential nature of human connection and comfort. Its message is universal and timeless, reminding us that even in the most difficult of times, we can find hope and solace in the arms of those we love.

  • AT THE BEACH - Modern Women Portrait, Contemporary Figurative Painting
    By Marzena Ślusarczyk
    Located in Salzburg, AT
    The patient waiting for Bresson's “decisive moment” characterizes the pictures of the young Polish painter Marzena Slusarczyk. The compositions of her works have the magic of a successful photography. Often with a powerful neckline, they use expressive foreshortened perspectives and unusual versions and they take us into an intimate dimension of the women portrayed.

As the painter herself emphasizes, the aim of playing with the audience is to awaken the viewer's imagination and imagination so that they notice the seemingly invisible.
