Oliver OKOLO, A flower as a gesture III - Detail
Oliver OKOLO Nigeria, b. 1992 – Works from €3,500 – €19,000
(19 3/10 × 15 2/5 inches)
In A flower as a gesture III, the flower appears as a fragile counterpoint to the figure’s composed presence. Oliver Okolo uses this tension to explore the relationship between visibility and disappearance, suggesting that what seems still is also subject to change. The work belongs to the A Flower as a Gesture series, in which flowers become signs of temporality, beauty and emotional endurance. Rather than functioning as decorative elements, they act as gestures of remembrance, drawing attention to the quiet ways in which identity, vulnerability and presence are carried through the image.
