"Lady on Blue 2" is a captivating piece of art that features a lady with blue skin sitting in a seductive pose. The painting portrays a woman who is both alluring and mysterious, with an aura that commands attention. Created by Aba Linus, this work of art has a certain je ne sais quoi that captivates the viewer's imagination.

The central figure in the painting is the lady with blue skin, who sits with one arm stretched out sideways and the other at the back of her hair. Her pose is suggestive, and her gaze is direct as if she is looking sideways. Her blue skin adds a sense of other worldliness to the painting, making it feel almost like a fantasy.

The background of the painting is a deep, rich brown, which further enhances the lady's blue skin. The contrast between the blue of the woman and the brown of the background creates a sense of depth, drawing the viewer into the painting. The brushstrokes are fluid and graceful, adding to the sense of movement and allure.

There is a certain ambiguity to this painting that makes it intriguing. Is the lady on display for the viewer's pleasure, or is she lost in her own thoughts? Is she waiting for someone, or is she simply enjoying the moment? The painting leaves these questions unanswered, inviting the viewer to create their own interpretation.

In conclusion, "Lady on Blue 2" is a stunning piece of art that captures the viewer's attention with its seductive central figure and alluring background. The use of blue throughout the painting creates a sense of depth and otherworldliness, while the lady's pose and clothing add to the overall sense of sensuality. The ambiguity of the painting invites interpretation, making it a fascinating work of art that can be appreciated by all.

Aba Linus, Lady on Blue 2

Aba Linus

Nigeria  • 1997

Aba Linus is a multidisciplinary artist trained from Benue State, Nigeria, based in Abuja. He graduated with a Bachelor of Art from the prestigious Ahmadu Bello Zaria University majoring in painting. Linus' works are expressions of his creative exploration, which present a confluence of lived human experiences, conversation and interaction.

The visuality of my paintings aims to bring the tangibility that people are the product of another man's ideology.

Artist statement

My paintings stem from my encounter with human society and the psychology that affects our daily encounters with matter, time and space. With the use of the acrylic medium, I try to paint images that express fundamental and necessary elements of the human experience. Working through a variety of themes - oppression, depression, loneliness, love, all gravitating towards figurative abstract realism.

I see my painting as an observation and a means of proposing an open discussion. As they are not intended to answer any question or intended to modify human behavior.
