Fresco Gallery is thrilled to present Gbolahan Ayoola’s debut limited-edition, original print release, “Solitude: The Fortunate Loneliness of Being on a Path Less Traveled.”
After two decades of mastering traditional mediums, including painting and drawings, Ayoola embarks on an exploration of new media, including printmaking, animation, and digital art. In this groundbreaking collection, Ayoola strives to articulate the profoundness in moments of seclusion and introspection.
Exploring new, contemporary mediums, he combines the old and the new, drawing inspiration from the past and the present. Each print, derived from his iconic bodies of works “The Blue Woman” and “We Are The Re-Agents,” is meticulously hand-painted, hand-signed, and digitally designed by the Artist, ensuring unquestionable intentionality and authenticity.
“The realm of digital art, prints, and animation offers me a portal into self-discovery and introspection,” says Ayoola. “As an artist, my soul pours into the intricate dance between solitude and the human spirit. Embarking on this artistic odyssey marks a profound shift in my voyage, offering a fresh mosaic for weaving thoughts and visions. As I navigate this uncharted cosmic sea and carve my own constellations, I find myself unshackled from the traditional confines that enveloped my previous mediums. This new route presents a realm of liberation and empowerment, a symphony of freedom as I fearlessly embrace the unknown. Embracing this path less taken stands as a testament to my burning desire to break free from the shackles of conformity and plunge into the depths of my unique individuality.”
