Description
Orioye Bukola created "Seek Within 3" with Acrylic and newsprint on 36W x 36H Inches canvas.
"Seek Within 3" is a painting created in 2022.
In hunt of verity in tone,
We're torn between the world that speaks the verity in falsehoods
And our inner tone that embodies the real verity in chaos.
Do I look within myself for the verity?
Or should I hear to the world of no verity?
The difficulties and achievements of my precursor are no forgotten story.
Where should I evolve from?
When I've called my origin a taradiddle and myself an illusion.
Should I seek my neighbor’s verity before mine or the other way around?
The world isn't balanced! They say
Perhaps our knowledge of the scale isn’t balanced moreover.
Since we’d rather seek a greener pasturage nearly than water ours,
We would rather forget our home to seek treasures in a foreign land.
After all, the lawn is greener where it's watered,
And treasures are found where the land is dug.
This piece goes through every aspect of life like this
• We must seek tone-mindfulness to understand what we're able of and how we can achieve it.
• The change we seek, the love we ask, and the way we anticipate the world to be, must start with us laboriously working for it.
• The thing you ask starts with you. The question is, are you set or are you going to flee?

About the Artist
Orioye Bukola, born 1993 in Osogbo, Orioye is a native of Ekiti State. A graduate of Chemistry from the University of Ibadan, Nigeria. Trained by Mr Tope Fatumbi of Topfat Art Gallery; Adamasingba, Ibadan 2019. He is inspired from societal issues and life demands, beauty, culture and African Spirituality – with focus more of the female gender as a conduit to all else. His philosophy is about simplicity and determinations without harm to none
Orioye mind’s quest has progressed to infused questionings and suppositions in his canvases beyond mere rhetorical aesthetics; (as the trendy atmosphere now seems mostly to suggest). His works speaks in metaphors which flow between the past, the present and the postulation of the future. He probes on relics to unearth anchored reasoning which shares semblances with contemporary happenings.
His stylistic sense is inventive of punkish style piles of hair reminiscent of the 80s and discotheques, parted with sharp oblique angles which are reflections of the hard chiselled surfaces of the Yoruba effigies he introduces into his works, seasoned with a strong sense of fashion.
Orioye is concerned with African spirituality and how they interface with identity, memories, worships and total wellbeing of the people. This adaptation of the past to interface with the present and postulate a futuristic nuance is evident in his warm leathered clad supersonic subjects whose demeanour echoes the Star Trek, UFO, and intergalactic Adour of postmodern Hollywood cinematic periods.
This pendulum of interactions between the past, the present and the futuristic postulations, defines Orioye’s works and lent it a certain direction. The combinations create inquisitiveness for explorations which permeate the borrowed eras, espousing bygone traits of exhumed investigative nuances, memories, identities and spirituality of bygone cultural epochs. It will be exhilarating to calmly observe the growth of Orioye Bukola’s sojourn in the interpretations of his curious and investigative narratively placed overtures.
