Oliver OKOLO Nigeria, b. 1992 – Works from €3,500 – €19,000
(19 7/10 × 15 7/10 inches)
In A flower as a gesture IV, Oliver Okolo presents the portrait as a moment of quiet encounter. The sunflowers held by the sitter become luminous gestures, suggesting warmth, resilience and the passing nature of beauty. The figure’s direct gaze gives the painting a calm intensity, while the flowers introduce a sense of movement, growth and eventual decline. As part of the A Flower as a Gesture series, the work reflects Okolo’s ongoing exploration of presence and absence, using portraiture to consider how human identity is shaped by memory, time and symbolic detail.
