Continuum by Olamilekan Okunade Explore Mondoir Studio Medium: Acrylic on canvas Dimensions: 54 x 54 in Year: 2024 Price: $6400.00 USD Status: available We assume time to be a straight line of string going forward to the unknown, but really, time is a flat circle. Continuum depicts time in our hands. It shows a female figure capturing time in a glass bottle as you would a butterfly. Her beauty will fade eventually, so will possessions. She knows this and doesn't let the facade of cars and houses blind her from this truth. She clinches the bottle to prevent it from slipping and breaking. She will forget the truth of what is truly important: doing the best she can with the time she has. Why collect this work?A grid of colour crosses figure, car, buildings and sky, visually measuring the entire scene while the clock fixes that abstract order to a familiar sign of passing time. Okunade’s statement identifies women’s strength and social experience as central concerns. Here, the woman’s enlarged scale and direct gaze give her authority within an urban setting crowded by objects.The figure steadies a black, clock-faced vessel against her body. Behind her, a blue car and compressed buildings connect time with possessions and city life, although their precise relationship remains open.Catalogued as acrylic on canvas, the painting uses distinct patches of light and dark colour. Repeated across skin, clothing and architecture, these shapes join unlike surfaces without erasing the heavy contours that separate them.The artist’s description presents the vessel as time held in the hands and contrasts limited time with beauty and possessions. The work makes that proposition concrete by placing clock, body, car and housing within one tightly packed image. About the ArtistOlamilekan Okunade Olamilekan Okunade is an artist on Mondoir Studio.
