About the Item

"Sojourner" by Morakinyo Femi is a captivating artwork that presents a young man seated in a fashionable attire, adorned with striking jewelry and sporting sunglasses. The title, "Sojourner," suggests a journey or exploration, and the visual elements within the piece evoke a sense of contemporary style and individuality. Morakinyo Femi's attention to detail is evident in the meticulous rendering of the fashionable attire, jewelry, and accessories worn by the subject. The choice of a seated pose conveys a certain relaxed confidence, as if the young man is comfortable in his own skin and style. The sunglasses add an air of mystery, further enhancing the enigmatic allure of the figure. The use of vibrant colors, textures, and patterns in the attire and accessories contributes to the overall visual impact of the artwork, creating a composition that is both dynamic and aesthetically pleasing. Femi's work captures not only the external appearance of the subject but also the essence of a contemporary sojourner navigating the complexities of modern life. "Sojourner" invites viewers to contemplate themes of self-expression, identity, and the evolving nature of fashion as a form of personal statement. The artwork suggests that the act of donning fashionable attire and accessories can be a means of self-discovery and a way for individuals to assert their uniqueness in the world. In "Sojourner," Morakinyo Femi skillfully combines style and substance, creating an engaging visual narrative that prompts viewers to reflect on the diverse ways in which individuals express themselves on their life journey.

Contemporary Mixed Media Painting on Canvas: Interactions in Art

Contemporary Mixed Media Painting on Canvas: Interactions in Art

By Barnabas Macauley

Located in Ibadan, Oyo

Interactions is an original painting by Barnabas Macauley. Interactions was created with Mixed Media (Charcoal, Acrylic, and Pencil on a primed 36W by 48H inches canvas. Barnabas Macauley uses this painting to examine how we deal with internal conflicts of exactly what to do during our waiting process. The chaos of these interactions however was deliberately not the point of focus in the artwork but how they're being gracefully dealt with. The best way to often times handle conflict is to first be unlike the conflict we are dealing with. It is to be calm during the rigorous process and avoid the temptation to act desperately, thereby igniting the conflagration of the storm. We need to have those deep interactions in our minds and deal with them without losing our minds.

Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity (Issued by the Gallery) About Artist Macaulay Barnabas Osagie is a self-taught Artist and a graduate of the prestigious University of Benin, Nigeria, West Africa. Hailed from Benin heritage, which is known for its rich history, culture, and traditions. Growing up, He was fascinated by esthetics as a form of expression; this propelled his journey into the world of art. His passion for art began at the age of five, scribbling images on the ground using sticks—it evolved into drawings in primary and secondary schools. He was often selected among students to represent my secondary school in various art competitions. "Knowing that Art fuels my existence and helps me connect with the world better, in 2018, I decided to not only do art for love and relief, but to explore it professionally, and build a renowned career in the industry. One that reflects my views on societal issues and serves as an echo of hope. Determined to pay my dues, I had the privilege of working at Prince Saheed Adelakun's Olokun Art Studio in Abule-Egba, Lagos. It was there I met with other professionals. I created my first series titled "Odan Series"; which was expressed via hyperrealism. I created this series at the point when my life was in shambles; I was going through a rough phase; working on this series was my solace at the time. "Over the years, I have created brilliant artworks using charcoal and pencil on paper and have evolved using acrylic and charcoal on canvas as my primary media of visual articulation; these works take various forms and for various purposes, all a reflection of my creativity and depth. I am drawn to figurative African contemporary art and surrealism...
