About the Item

"Home" is a thought-provoking artwork created by Lawal Ibrahim that portrays a man sitting on a chair in a contemplative stance. The piece stands as an embodiment of the artist's reflections on the concept of home, a place where one feels a sense of belonging and security. The artwork features a man sitting on a cushioned chair, with his hands resting on the arms of the chair and his head upright. The man's posture suggests that he is in deep thought, perhaps contemplating his life and his place in the world. His face is not visible, leaving the viewer to ponder what the man is thinking about. The chair upon which the man sits is another crucial element of "Home." The chair symbolizes a place of rest and comfort, a place where one can relax and feel at ease. It represents a physical manifestation of the concept of home, a place where one can sit and feel a sense of belonging. Furthermore, the artist's choice of medium adds a unique dimension to the artwork. Lawal Ibrahim used colored pen on paper, which allowed him to create a sense of depth and texture. The use of digital art also gives the artwork an organic feel, which contrasts with the refined and polished feel of other art forms. In conclusion, "Home" by Lawal Ibrahim is a profound artwork that explores the concept of home and the human need for a sense of belonging. Through the use of color, posture, and medium, the artist has created an artwork that invites the viewer to reflect on their own thoughts and feelings about home. The artwork is a testament to the power of art to stimulate introspection and encourage self-reflection.

Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity (Issued by the Gallery) About Artist I am Lawal Ibrahim, a visual artist, born in Lagos, Nigeria in 1996. I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Biology Education from the University of Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria in 2016. I proceeded to my postgraduate studies at the Open University, Abuja where I got a Master’s Degree in Administration and Planning in 2020. My works are centered around the consciousness of humans and their relationship with our surroundings, using mediums ranging from pens to watercolors, fabric, and newspapers. I delved into a new style of art called Aprosopi. This style of art combines hyper-realism from traditional art and digital art. With less emphasis on the face, it is a way of asking questions, about is human facial features importance exaggerated and their implications on our societal relationships. All my life I have always wanted to express myself through my art and get them to be an extension of my innate thoughts I participated in a group exhibition held in Abuja at the Ivory Place; the Flow Session (2021) I currently reside in Abuja, Nigeria, where I work as a full-time artist

  • Judaica Jewish Shtetl Etching Hasidic Rabbi at Study Vintage Chassidic Print
    By Paul Jeffay
    Located in Surfside, FL
    Older Chassidic rabbi learning with open book, Judaica, Jewish scenes from a ghetto. Saul Yaffie, a.k.a. Paul Jeffay, (1898–1957) was a Scottish Jewish artist. Known for his charming French street scenes as well as his judaica work. This is signed in the plate and dated 1931 in the print. This is done in a style similar to the works of the early Bezalel School artists Hermann Struck and Jakob Steinhardt. This lithograph, by artist Paul Jeffay depicts a Judaic Shtetl interior scene with great charm and sensitivity. Saul Yaffie was born in Blythswood, Glasgow on 29 April 1898. His mother was Kate Yaffie (née Karkonoski), and his father, Bernard Yaffie, was a master tailor. Like many Russian Jews, Kate and Bernard Yaffie fled persecution in Russia during a wave of anti-Jewish pogroms triggered by the assassination of Tsar Alexander II in 1881. Saul's father was naturalised as a British citizen by the time that Saul himself was three; a Bernard Yaffie is recorded as living at Abbotsford Place in the old Gorbals, where the young Saul spent the early years of his childhood. The Yaffies were not unique in their situation: the Gorbals was the centre of Scotland's Jewish community and home to a large proportion of Glasgow's immigrants throughout the early 20th century. Over time, there was a movement to some of the more affluent communities in Glasgow, such as Pollokshields and Garnethill, as many Jewish families gradually improved their social and economic situation. Like these, the Yaffies also experienced a time of good fortune, moving to a more agreeable address on Sinclair Drive, Cathcart as Bernard's tailoring business prospered. Saul attended day classes in drawing and painting, modelling, and life drawing at The Glasgow School of Art from 1912 to 1919. During the First World War, he was required to interrupt his studies to serve in the King's Own Scottish Borderers in 1916/17. Although subject to military conscription, Yaffie reached the rank of corporal during his service. Prior to his conscription Yaffie engaged in munitions work, something that was recorded in the GSA's student registers. The post-war economic depression that affected the country during the 1920s, also affected the Yaffie family directly: Bernard Yaffie's business suffered greatly, and the family eventually emigrated to Canada. Saul did not emigrate with his family, choosing instead to stay in Europe, and relocate to jazz age Paris where he continued his artistic practice. Now married, Saul sought to escape persecution in Europe by returning to the UK before the Second World War with his wife, Estusia. The two settled in Manchester, but returned to France after the war. In his memoires ‘Bronze in My Blood’, German-born sculptor Benno Schotz describes a Saul ‘Yaffe’, one of only three other Jewish students who attended The Glasgow School of Art at the time. (Schotz himself was exempt from joining the forces because he was ‘not yet a British subject’, and was engaged in war work in the drawing office of John Brown’s shipyards). On the outbreak of the war, Schotz writes, Yaffie won a poster competition to be displayed in Glasgow tramcars at the beginning of the 1914-18 war – his winning design depicted a woman with a child in her arms, fleeing from a fire behind her. While on leave from service, the young Saul told Schotz he had briefly been stationed in the same unit as Jewish American sculptor Jacob Epstein. This was most likely the 38th Battalion of the Royal Fusiliers, also known as ‘the Jewish Legion’, one of five Jewish battalions raised during WW1. ‘He told me how incongruous it was’, remembers Schotz, ‘to See Epstein scrubbing the floor of their hut, with a large diamond ring on his finger’. His work is included in the collection of the Ben Uri Museum in London along with Lucian Freud, David Bomberg, Mark Gertler, Josef Herman, Jankel Adler, Feliks Topolski...
