Description

Artist: Elisha Nyong

Title: If My Soul Were Blonde

Date: 2023

Medium: Drybrush Technique on Paper

Dimensions: 132cm X 124.5cm

Description: "If My Soul Were Blonde" is an original painting by Elisha Nyong.
Elisha Nyong created "If My Soul Were Blonde" with Drybrush Technique on 132cm X 124.5cm Paper.

"If My Soul Were Blonde" depicts Human natureâ€™s bane is discontentment; The concept of beauty to the contemporary
African is tied around superficial elements like skin tone and hair type. This piece is the second piece of a series titled â€œHurricanes of the Soul”. Itâ€™s targeted at illuminating the deeply rooted superficial existential dilemma and turmoils that plague man; itâ€™s meant to bring to light, the existential nightmare of human nature.
(Written by the Artist)

Shipping Procedure
Elisha Nyong is Represented by Constance and Sons Gallery.
Ships in a well-protected tube from Nigeria
This work is unique, not a print or other type of copy.
Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity (Issued by Constance and Sons Gallery)

About the Artist
Elisha Nyongâ€™s surreal body of work is a terrene representation of his personal â€œSurrealistâ€™s manifesto” which heâ€™s developed throughout his time as a budding artist to date. It encapsulates the surreal practice of AndrÃ© Breton, and the allusions of Salvador DalÃ, and is fueled by the psychoanalytic of Freud. His style is born of studies and research to better understand creativity by exploring abstract themes of an abstract world with physical consequences.

Artist Statement
Demystifying the mysteries of existentialism is the core of my art praxis; my technique rides stately on the back of free-spiritedness, countermanding superstitions and taboos of the society I was raised in. The unique themes of my visual allegories are a clarion call to seek out, and assimilate dimensions beyond the three-dimensional world...it is a letter, so long Iâ€™ve barely begun.
