Contemporary Abstract Art, Carnival Faces By Miabo Enyadike

 

  Contemporary Abstract Art  Carnival    Faces  


The other day in my studio, I was working on a bunch of bottles.

I was at the final stage and that was spraying the bottles,with gloss or Matt spray paint.

I do that normally on the wood surface I work on, but decided otherwise and placed a white paper board, on the wood surface before spraying.

That was weird, for me because I am not that organised, I want to get things done and fast already.

I started spraying the bottles and noticed that the spray, formed shapes after every bottle sprayed.


That created, very colorful abstract geometric shapes of squares and circles.

These shapes, came off the bottom of the bottles, that covered the area, the spray fumes did not reach.

I must say, it was an exciting discovery, that I was creating craft, while art was creating itself effortlessly.

Since, I had a large number of bottles to spray, I decided to use more white paper board and see how it goes.

The size of the recycled white paperboard I used, is 100 cm x 80 cm x 0.3in.


By the time, I was through with my bottle project, I had three fun looking abstract paintings, in front of me.

I decided that was not enough, I felt it needed something more that would retain the colors and shapes, but have a story to it.

I then decided to draw faces expressed in a theatrical way, that remind us of people in carnival costumes. In a festive mood, with riotous colors of funfair around them.

Totally,oblivious of their surroundings, 
just out there to have fun and be made fun off.

Enjoying themselves, in who they pretend to represent........ENJOY

  Transforming a Vintage Mannequin into a Unique Lamp Shade for Your Home Decor My home is my sanctuary, art gallery and art studio/family house so I live and breath Art.  I want to live in constant inspiration and ideas, I love to wake up in that kind of space. Natural light plays a huge part in my home, as light helps to project my Art giving my living room a gallery feel. But come evening, I just want to relax with my family, cook dinner and enjoy the evening in calmness. And that brings me to my Vintage Mannequin Stand I decided to turn into a night lamp stand.  I Love different light designs, for me, it completes an interior.

Expressionist Abstract Art of Women by Miabo Enyadike

Expressionist Abstract Art of Women  Drawing women and their expressions is something, I am truly interested in. Female profiles and faces in abstract is intriguing and Ink drawings, are a way for me to throw that notion out there, of a female portrait created differently.  This is something that is important to me as a woman artist, this matters.                                                                                                                 I draw faces in a way that is uncomplicated  and easy to read, in a rather caricature way though not comical, with ink, it is easy to let the colors flow so that they create for me, the facial contours and structure.  My emphasis...
