Description
This painting was inspired by The Two Fridas, a 1939 painting by Frida Kahlo. It captures the gift of internalised conversations, the ability to step within and know oneself. It is a self-portrait of sorts; I painted myself having a conversation with myself (this painting is part of a series I started during the 2020 lockdown, called Conversations With Self). In the painting, I reference themes of culture and origin through the attire of the sitter(s). Àdìrẹ (which literally means tie and dye) is a traditional fabric of the Yorùbá people of southwestern Nigeria. It originated from the people of Abẹ́òkúta which happens to be my hometown. Other stylistic elements in the painting enhance the themes of connection and origin, such as a reference to the iconic Ikoyi link bridge in Lagos, the dramatically floating wine glasses which highlight intrapersonal friendship, and the abstract patterns at the base of the painting which suggests the relationship of the sitter with his world.
Presentation
Ara Deinde (born Aralola Oladeinde) is a multidisciplinary artist living and working in Ibadan, Nigeria. Born in Lagos, he developed an early engagement with art through constant drawing and visual experimentation, a commitment that eventually led him to leave his studies in Agricultural Engineering in 2019 to pursue an independent artistic practice.
Ara was an artist-in-residence at KUTA Art Foundation in 2020 and 2021, an experience that significantly shaped his studio discipline and conceptual approach. His works have been exhibited in Nigeria, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and the United States, and he has undertaken several notable painting and mural commissions. He draws inspiration from artists such as Toyin Ojih Odutola, James Grashow, Florian Baudrexel, Pablo Picasso, and Yayoi Kusama, Ara’s work reflects an ongoing interest in form, narrative, and the layered realities of contemporary life.
