Fresco Gallery is thrilled to present “Solitude:
The Fortunate Loneliness of Being on a Path
Less Traveled” a solo exhibition of original,
limited-edition prints by Gbolahan Ayoola
(March 30 – April 27, 2024).
After two decades of mastering traditional
mediums, including painting and drawings,
Ayoola embarks on an exploration of new
media, including printmaking, animation, and
digital art.
In this groundbreaking collection, Ayoola
strives to articulate theprofoundness in
moments of seclusion and introspection.
Exploring new, contemporary mediums, he
combines the old and the new, drawing
inspiration from the past and the present.
Each print, derived from his iconic bodies of
works “The Blue Woman” and “We Are The
Re-Agents,” is meticulously hand-painted,
hand-signed, and digitally designed by the
Artist, ensuring unquestionable intentionality
and authenticity.
“The realm of digital art, prints, and animation offers me a portal into self-discovery and introspection,” says Ayoola. “As an artist, my soul pours into the intricate dance between solitude and the human spirit. Embarking on this artistic odyssey marks a profound shift
in my voyage, offering a fresh mosaic for weaving thoughts and visions. As I navigate this uncharted cosmic sea and carve my own constellations, I find myself unshackled from the traditional confines that enveloped my previous mediums. This new route presents a realm of liberation and empowerment, a symphony of freedom as I fearlessly embrace the unknown. Embracing this path less taken stands as a testament to my burning desire to break free from the shackles of conformity and plunge into the depths of my unique individuality.”
Join us for a multi-sensory, immersive experience of Ayoola’s exploration of Self and new media. He invites you to embark on a pilgrimage of self-exploration and introspection. Presented in collaboration with AMG Gallery.
