"Love From Afar" presents a young lady, portrayed with intricate attention to detail, as she gazes into the distance. The artist's skillful brushwork brings life to the subject's features, capturing the complexity of emotions within her eyes and facial expression. The composition is deliberately crafted to draw the viewer's attention to the lady's contemplative gaze, which hints at a deep longing or unfulfilled desire. The use of subdued and muted tones in the artwork adds to its emotional resonance. The soft color palette creates an atmosphere of melancholy and introspection, evoking a sense of yearning and wistfulness. The deliberate choice of lighting and shadows adds depth and mystery, emphasizing the emotional journey portrayed in the artwork. "Love From Afar" encapsulates the universal experience of longing and unrequited love. The young lady's distant gaze symbolizes the ache of yearning for someone who is physically or emotionally out of reach. Her expression is filled with a mix of hope, vulnerability, and resignation. The artwork becomes a mirror, reflecting the viewer's own experiences of longing and the bittersweet beauty that accompanies it. Oladapo's artwork speaks to the human condition, reminding us of the complexities of love and desire. It encapsulates the emotions that arise when we are captivated by someone but cannot bridge the gap between us. Through the portrayal of the young lady's distant gaze, the artist invites viewers to contemplate their own experiences of unrequited love and the profound emotions that come with it. "Love From Afar" has the power to resonate with viewers on a deeply personal level. It serves as a reminder that longing and unrequited love are universal experiences, transcending culture, time, and boundaries. The artwork elicits empathy and introspection, prompting viewers to reflect on their own emotional journeys and the connections they have forged from afar. Moreover, "Love From Afar" highlights the delicate beauty that exists within longing. It reminds us that even in the absence of physical or emotional closeness, there is a certain allure and tenderness that emerges from the unfulfilled desires of the heart. The artwork invites us to appreciate the complexities of human emotions and find solace in the shared experiences of longing and love. Agboola Oladapo...

“Icarus Suspended” is an extraordinary painting of Ayrton's obsession with flight, myths, mirrors and mazes. This complex piece shows a figure in flight, frozen in action, either swooping down or, perhaps, falling to earth. Named after the Greek mythological figure, Icarus, who along with his father attempted to escape from Crete by means of wings that his father constructed from feathers and wax. Flying too close to the sun the wax melted and both fell to earth. The positioning of Ayrton's figure is reminiscent of "The Fall of Icarus" by Jacob Peter Gowy, Museo Nacional del Prado. This is part of a series of artworks on Icarus some sculptural and some three-dimensional paintings on canvas. Verso contains gallery label Matthiesen Gallery, 142 Bond St., London, England, with a signature and text in upper right corner: "To Morton Schotnick.
