Cubist Paintings

CUBIST STYLE

Inspired by the nontraditional ways Postimpressionists like Paul Cézanne and Georges Seurat depicted the world, Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque pioneered an even more abstract style in which reality was fragmented into flat, geometric forms. Cubism majorly influenced 20th-century Western art as it radically broke with the adherence to composition and linear perspectives that dated back to the Renaissance. Its watershed moments are considered Picasso’s 1907 Les Demoiselles d’Avignon, in which nude figures are fractured into angular shapes, and Georges Braque’s 1908 painting show, which prompted a critic to describe his visual reductions as “cubes.”

Although Cubism was a revolutionary art movement for European culture, it was informed by African masks and other tribal art. Its artists, which included Fernand Léger, Alexander Archipenko, Marcel Duchamp, Juan Gris and Jean Metzinger, experimented with compressing space and playing with the tension between solid and void forms in their work. While their subjects were often conventional, such as still lifes, nudes and landscapes, they were distorted without any illusion of realism.

Cubist art evolved through different distinct phases. In Analytic Cubism, from 1908 to 1912, figures or objects were “analyzed” into pieces that were reassembled in paintings and sculptures, as if presenting the same subject matter from many perspectives at once. The palette was usually monochromatic and muted, giving attention to the overlapping planes. Synthetic Cubism, dating from 1912 to 1914, moved to brighter colors and a further flattening of images. This unmooring from formal ideas of art would shape numerous styles that followed, from Dada to Surrealism.

Giving Up Is Not An Option 2
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
"Giving Up Is Not An Option" presents a visually striking composition that immediately captures the viewer's attention. The young man, painted in intricate detail, is depicted kneeling on one leg, his posture conveying both concentration and determination. His eyes are focused intently on the missing piece of the puzzle, which lies on the floor before him. The presence of the loyal dog serves as a symbol of unwavering support and companionship, providing comfort and encouragement in the face of challenges. The puzzle, with its fragmented state, represents the complexities and obstacles encountered in life, while the act of searching for the missing piece embodies the relentless pursuit of solutions and completion. "Giving Up Is Not An Option" encapsulates the message that resilience and perseverance are essential qualities in the face of adversity. The young man's kneeling position demonstrates his willingness to take a pause, reflect, and confront the challenges that lie before him. Despite the apparent difficulty, his focused gaze and determined expression convey a refusal to succumb to despair or resignation. The dog's presence symbolizes loyalty and unwavering support, serving as a reminder that we are never alone in our struggles. Alogi's artwork imparts a powerful message of resilience, urging viewers to persevere and seek solutions even when faced with the most daunting circumstances. "Giving Up Is Not An Option" is a significant piece within John Alogi's larger body of work, the "Fixing the Missing Part" series. This series explores the notion of searching for completion and resolution in various aspects of life, be it personal relationships, self-discovery, or societal challenges. Each artwork within the series presents a visual metaphor for the inherent human desire to mend what is broken or missing. Alogi's unique ability to capture the essence of these concepts through symbolism and expressive brushwork creates a deeply resonant visual experience. Alogi's artistic style showcases a fusion of realism and symbolic abstraction. His attention to detail is evident in the intricate rendering of the young man, the dog, and the puzzle piece. The artist's mastery of light and shadow enhances the depth and three-dimensionality of the composition, while his color palette adds emotional resonance to the artwork. Alogi's ability to infuse his subjects with palpable emotions further amplifies the impact of his artwork, inviting viewers to engage on an intellectual and emotional level. John Alogi's artwork, "Giving Up Is Not An Option," serves as a testament to the power of resilience, determination, and the unwavering human spirit. As part of his "Fixing the Missing Part" series, this masterpiece invites viewers to reflect on their own capacity to confront challenges and seek solutions, even when faced with fragmented circumstances. Through Alogi's artistic expression, we are reminded that despite the complexities and uncertainties of life, we possess the inner strength and support systems to overcome obstacles. "Giving Up Is Not An Option" stands as an inspiring reminder that, like the young man in the painting, we have the ability to persevere and complete the puzzle of our lives, one missing piece at a time.
