Becoming Light by Tayo Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 120 x 140 cm Year: 2024 Price: $1200.00 USD Status: available Butterflies gather around an upward-facing figure as refracted light divides the face into shifting planes of blue and green. Transformation is pictured not as a clean escape from the past, but as a gradual change of state. The body remains underwater while signs of metamorphosis appear around it, suggesting that becoming begins internally before it can be seen at the surface. About the ArtistTayo Nationality: Nigerian My paintings begin with the face and the body, but I am less interested in likeness than in what pressure reveals.
