Daring Seek by Oluwasayo Olaore Explore Mondoir Studio Medium: Acrylic on canvas Dimensions: 34 x 35 in Year: 2025 Price: $2850.00 USD Status: available The artwork captures our gaze of focus to achieve set goal(s). Why collect this work?Daring Seek turns concentration into an act of selective visibility: a face remains present, but angular facets, floral passages and dense ornament repeatedly interrupt its legibility. Olaore’s statement identifies angular facial contours and elaborate headgear as recurring features of his figurative practice. In this 2025 painting, those devices do more than identify a style; they divide the subject between watchful presence and patterned concealment.The photograph shows one eye fixed near the composition’s centre beneath an oversized hat. White lace-like lines sweep diagonally across the face, while flowers cluster below, directing attention toward the eye even as they obstruct the portrait.The documented medium is acrylic on canvas. Here, acrylic permits sharply bounded colour fields, fine linear patterning and crowded floral marks to coexist, although the photograph cannot confirm surface texture or the sequence of painted layers.At 34 by 35 inches, the near-square format contains competing systems of seeing: portrait likeness, geometric fragmentation and decorative excess. That tension makes the work pertinent to discussions of how identity is formed through both focus and concealment. About the ArtistOluwasayo Olaore Oluwasayo Olaore is an artist on Mondoir Studio.
