Ara Deinde A Thing Or Two (Not) to Say, 2019 Acrylic And Oil Pastel on canvas Unique work Includes a Certificate of Authenticity Shipping Procedure Ships in a well-protected tube from Lagos, Nigeria This work is unique, not a print or other type of copy. Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity (Issued by the Gallery) This compelling acrylic and oil pastel painting on canvas, titled "A Thing or Two (Not) To Say" invites contemplation. The artist explores contemporary figurative and abstract themes, with subtle nods to Cubism, to challenge traditional views of masculinity. The artwork depicts a friend of the artist's, gazing directly at the viewer, yet the sensory organs are intentionally disfigured. This artistic choice powerfully conveys the struggles of distorted masculine communication and the unspoken thoughts that often go unexpressed or are misunderstood by others. It speaks to the internal dialogue and the complexities of conveying one's true self.
