Inside on Papers

By Bright Toh

Located in Ibadan, Oyo

Art has the power to express and convey complex ideas, emotions, and messages. One such artwork that has captured the attention of many is "Inside on Paper," a bright and colorful piece featuring a young man squatting in a relaxed position with one of his legs on a newspaper with the head of a monkey. The artwork depicts a young man in a relaxed posture, with one leg resting on a newspaper. The vibrant colors and bold lines give the artwork a dynamic and energetic feel. The man's expression is calm and meditative, inviting the viewer to take a moment to pause and reflect. However, upon closer inspection, the artwork reveals itself to be more than just a relaxed pose. This juxtaposition of the human form with the head of a monkey represents the interconnectedness of all living beings. The title of the artwork, "Inside on Paper," suggests that the man is reading or reflecting on the news printed in the newspaper. This is a commentary on the importance of being informed and aware of the world around us. The monkey's head symbolizes the impact that human actions have on the natural world and the importance of taking responsibility for our impact on the environment. The bright colors used in the artwork also carry significance. The vibrant hues of blue, orange, and yellow evoke a sense of joy and vitality, creating a whimsical and playful atmosphere. The use of color and pattern is also a nod to the rich cultural traditions of the artist's homeland, imbuing the piece with a sense of cultural identity and heritage. In conclusion, "Inside on Paper" is a remarkable piece of art that conveys a deep sense of interconnectedness and the importance of being informed and aware of the world around us. Through its use of animal and human forms, it celebrates the interconnectedness of all living beings and encourages us to take responsibility for our impact on the environment. As such, it is a masterpiece that is sure to captivate and inspire art lovers for generations to come. Bright Toh work portrays the exquisite synergy that exists between the evolving African man, wildlife, and their common environment, through the possession of totems as a liaison to his ancestries, which is a core aspect of his identity and cultural heritage.

The artist settled in Andalusia (Spain), where, searching for his roots, he immersed himself in the music, folklore, and traditions of that country. This painting, ¨Serenidad¨, is reproduced on a double page in the article that the renowned art publication Prestige Magazine edited in 2003, where the cover is a female portrait by Ospina Ortiz. (number 63, 2003, pages 24-25). ABOUT THE ARTIST Juan Carlos Ospina Ortiz (Tolima-Colombia 1963) studied design and painting in Bogotá, which he later complemented with specializations in Paris and Madrid. He practices a realistic figurative style, where he alternates between portraits, still lifes, landscapes and horse paintings. In 1993 he visited Spain for the first time, being greatly influenced by two renowned contemporary painters: Antonio López and Eduardo Naranjo. His works, from those years on, would be strongly influenced by the vision he had of them. He obtained a scholarship to continue his training with the Colombian painter Guillermo Muñoz Vera...

Contemplating Abundance
Contemplating Abundance

Contemplating Abundance

By Tolulope Adigbo

Located in Ibadan, Oyo

In a world brimming with abundance, a man finds himself caught in the depths of introspection. Lost in thought, he stands before a plate of luscious fruits, their vibrant colors and succulent aromas beckoning to his senses. Yet, his focus transcends the immediate gratification of indulgence as he delves into the realm of profound contemplation. Contemplating Abundance" captures the complex interplay between the physical and the metaphysical, the material and the intellectual. It prompts us to pause, question, and to appreciate the richness of our existence beyond superficial desires. It urges us to delve deeper, savoring not only the fruits before us but the profound contemplation that accompanies the abundance of life itself.

Ocean of Conversations, I Wonder What Speaks Beneath
Ocean of Conversations, I Wonder What Speaks Beneath

Ocean of Conversations, I Wonder What Speaks Beneath

By Adeniyi Joshua Adetayo

Located in Ibadan, Oyo

At first glance, the central figure seated on the couch draws our attention. His posture suggests a moment of introspection, an invitation for viewers to peer into his internal world. The placement of the bottle of alcohol at his feet immediately introduces a layer of symbolism, hinting at the potential for inner turmoil and emotional struggles. The artwork encapsulates the notion that some of the most significant conversations we engage in are not the ones with others but the dialogues we have with ourselves. The inner voice, often unacknowledged but constantly present, plays a pivotal role in shaping our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Whether we are conscious of it or not, our self-talk influences our perception of the world, our self-esteem, and our overall well-being. Adetayo's portrayal deftly captures the spectrum of self-talk. On one end, the inner dialogue can be a source of positivity and empowerment, much like a guiding light illuminating our path. These self-affirming conversations inspire us, boost our confidence, and encourage us to pursue our dreams. Just as sunlight glistens on the ocean's surface, these moments of self-assuredness infuse our lives with brilliance and hope. On the other hand, the presence of the alcohol bottle suggests a darker side to self-talk. Just as the ocean's depths can conceal hidden currents, negative self-talk can be equally concealed, festering below the surface. The artwork serves as a cautionary tale, reminding us that unchecked negativity can erode our self-confidence and well-being. This juxtaposition underscores the importance of cultivating a conscious and compassionate inner dialogue. "Ocean of Conversations, I Wonder What Speaks Beneath" stands as a mirror reflecting our own inner landscapes. It prompts us to consider the conversations we engage in with ourselves—do we uplift and motivate or do we undermine and doubt? Adetayo's creation invites us to reflect on our own patterns of self-talk and the ways in which they shape our experiences. Adeniyi Joshua...

Maro on Chrome and Yellow Vinyl Modern Side Chair - Original Oil Painting

By Andrew S. Conklin

Located in Chicago, IL

This classically painted figure study demonstrates the artists understanding of the human figure. A study for a series of larger paintings based on motion capture studios. Here the model is placed in a contrived position on a midcentury modern chair surrounded by props used in the motion capture process. Andrew S. Conklin Maro on Chrome & Yellow Vinyl Modern Side Chair, 2016 oil on panel 18h x 13w in 45.72h x 33.02w cm Motion Capture Paintings, Chicago My recent painting series describes the reality of motion capture environments by showing the interplay between female athletes and male technicians. These paintings are meant to explore conventions of female representation in Western figurative art and to contrast this past practice with the contemporary imagery of that subject via computer-based image technology. This project was instigated by a number of things: first, by my abiding interest in depicting the human form in paint, as I find its versatility in a design, its invitation to empathy, and its difficulty, to be something worth attempting to depict with success. In addition, my curiosity regarding the new ways to depict the form using electronic technology seem to challenge to the traditional methods I rely upon, and I wanted to comment on the similarities and differences between the studios of the painters and the technicians. In this way, I aim to continue my investigation into what I see as the contrasting quality of human nature, and symbolically represent opposites such as mind and body, analog and digital, realism and idealism, terrestrial and the transcendent. Andrew S. Conklin is a figurative painter. He holds an MFA from the Academy of Art University, and studied painting at the National Academy of Design in New York City with Harvey Dinnerstein...
