Artwork Description

Portrait of an Artist

0.0 x 0.0

Influenced by the painting of an old Italian Artist – Giuseppe Arcimboldo (An Artist that painted fruits and vegetables to creative people’s portraits), O. Yemi made this painting as a tribute to one of his art teachers, Jim Meaders. As in many of his recent painting, O. Yemi likes to use his painting to make a statement. He is using this painting to tell the viewer the occupation of his subject. He carefully assembled brushes, Paint tube and a pencil that overlapped together to make various anatomical shapes of a human. Brushes for the hairy parts of the face, a pencil for the nose and a paint tube for the mouth of the portrait.
