Black Pearl Print

Black Pearl is a minimalistic rendering of a gorgeous black feminine whose grandioseness flourished within the spectrum of background hues combined with the form. “Beauty is a vertical well. it dives into the light a wide, vast and glittery pipeline of yellow. Beauty is a solution to problems that undermine us, irrespective of their origins, skin or philosophical. In an interview, Gbemileke Adekunle gives a first indication to this painting he just painted, called ′′ Black Pearl ": When I feel down, all I have to do is look at my cats and creating art. ′′ He's right: cats are beautiful, and Black pearl much more beneficial than a valium tablet or a Colombian joint! He smiles and handes me a minimalist text on a piece of paper where it is about ′′ the splendor of the (black) woman, fulfilled in this yellow-dominated spectrum." Here, that same yellow as Ballo uses, and that ochre clear that Olivia Mae Pendergast (Kenya) bathes these peaceful figures. Same stretching, same filiform beauty, which opens like a wing. The woman is sitting, legs lying, on a dotted background of blue bees... and the feeling comes from absolute fullness. This morning of painting, Gbemileke Adekunle opens a door in an apartment that light floods. Until this moment, despite the clarity, it's a gloomy morning, bathing his eyes. Until that second, when cats appear on the floor, in the indolence of their stretching. Up to that solar radius that barges the space of a golden train. That's it, he can start the painting and smile at the day that begins.” Roger Calmé (ZO mag ')
