About the Item

Quiet Between the Walls is a captivating oil and acrylic painting on canvas that explores solitude, reflection, and the emotional silence hidden within everyday life. The seated female figure appears absorbed in deep thought, her distant gaze suggesting memories, longing, or unspoken emotions that exist beyond the physical space around her. The composition is energized by bold contrasts of color — the radiant yellow garment against the intense blue background and floral orange window curtain creating a visual dialogue between warmth and emotional isolation. While the surroundings feel vibrant and alive, the figure remains inward and detached, emphasizing the complexity of the human mind. Rich textured brushwork across the skin gives the subject depth and emotional realism, revealing traces of resilience, vulnerability, and lived experience. Her calm posture and still presence invite viewers into a quiet psychological space where contemplation becomes both personal and universal. Shipping Procedure Ships in a well-protected tube. This work is unique, not a print or other type of copy. Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.

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...
