Ifeoluwa Alade
"Beulah" - Acrylic Portrait Painting with Floral and Nature Motifs, 2023

2024

About the Item

"Beulah" is an original acrylic and glow-in-the-dark medium painting on canvas by artist Ifeoluwa Alade. Created in 2023, this distinctive piece measures an impressive 56 x 48 inches, offering an immersive visual experience. Part of Alade's solo exhibition, "The Sprout of Hope," this painting captures a deeply introspective portrait rendered in a vibrant, woven texture that symbolizes interconnectedness and the complexity of human identity. Alade intricately intertwines natural elements such as leaves, flowers, a small bird, and a delicate nest within the subject's hair, illustrating themes of renewal, resilience, and hope. Inspired by scriptures Job 14:7 and John 1:4, the artwork reflects on the strength found in moments of adversity and the continual possibility of rebirth and transformation. "Beulah" masterfully combines realism with symbolic imagery, set against a patterned backdrop that evokes both historical tapestry and contemporary aesthetics. Meticulously detailed, the piece’s luminous qualities become strikingly evident in low light conditions, revealing additional dimensions of depth and meaning. Unframed yet ready to hang, this captivating painting invites viewers to reflect upon their journeys, highlighting the profound human capacity for renewal and growth. Ifeoluwa Alade creates introspective paintings that explore human emotions and relationships through a distinctive woven technique. Born in Nigeria in 1995, Alade earned his Fine and Applied Arts degree from Obafemi Awolowo University, where he studied under mentor Jonathan Imafidor, who significantly influenced his artistic development. Working primarily in oil, acrylic, and watercolor, Alade's style evolved from the African "Araism" movement to his current approach, which portrays figures as compositions of interwoven elements symbolizing the complex amalgamation of experiences, thoughts, and emotions that form human identity. His work examines interpersonal connections, often using symbolism like butterflies and flowers to represent relationships as valuable forms of human existence. Represented by Abend Gallery, Alade has exhibited in solo presentations and prestigious art fairs including the LA Art Show and Scope Art Show in Miami, where the gallery has championed his work internationally.
