Beneath the Surface I by Tayo Medium: Oil and acrylics Dimensions: 120 x 140 cm Year: 2026 Price: $1200.00 USD Status: available A carefully rendered face is repeatedly covered, framed and interrupted by white planes, black gestures and architectural lines. Visibility becomes unstable: one eye meets the viewer while the other is almost erased. The work examines how identity is edited by expectation, memory and self-protection. What appears incomplete is not absent; it continues beneath the painted surface, resisting a single, finished reading. 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.
