Chill - Vibrant Colorful Original Contemporary Abstract Expressionist Painting
Located in Los Angeles, CA
English artist Jonjo Elliot's artworks are a collision of expressionistic fauvism and his collections encourage a youthful candor. Plants thrive in environments the viewer wants to immerse themselves in. He’s interested in the crossover point between abstract and representational art and is constantly exploring where painting can take him and the viewer as a means of expression.
This 20-inch square original painting is created with acrylic paint on canvas. It is stretched, wired, and ready to hang. The artwork is signed on the back. Convenient local Los Angeles delivery. Affordable Continental U.S. and international shipping are available. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included.
Jonjo Elliott is a mixed-media artist working in a range of mediums, from paper and paint to skate ramps, ceramics, and chairs. Working from his studio in the UK, his vibrant works are inspired by the spaces surrounding him and his large-scale still lives are intended to bring color and delight into the homes of his collectors.
A graduate of De Montfort University, he now manages a studio in Leicester. Jonjo's immersive and lively artworks are collected extensively in the UK, the US, and throughout the world. His works have been represented by Artplex Gallery since his Los Angeles solo show in 2019.

Challenger
By James Oliver
Located in Philadelphia, PA
"Challenger" is an original painting on canvas by James Oliver measuring 40in x 60in.
James Oliver is a painter whose precise visual language pushes the tradition of twentieth century abstraction into a contemporary context. Oliver is a conceptually driven formalist whose work is inspired by his dreams and emotional states, which he abstracts into an undetermined and subjective viewing experience by emphasizing line, color, and form. Even as Oliver turns to a figurative practice in recent series, rendering cultural icons like chopper bikes, Pontiac Firebirds, and his childhood poodle in detailed line drawings, these representations similarly evoke broadly accessible affects abstracted from his mental landscape.
Born in Upstate New York, raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, son of an advertising executive, Oliver was exposed from a young age to visual art from its most commercial applications to more visceral exponential lives.
"The Challenger is a classic muscle car. Knowing that I have been working on a series of muscle car paintings...

Ilori 2 (Heavy)
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
The title itself, "ÌLÒRÍ," holds a special meaning, as the artist reveals it is a name given to a child who finds its way into their mother's belly while she is still breastfeeding another child. This unique and touching term encapsulates the interconnectedness of life, illustrating how love and new beginnings can emerge even in the midst of existing responsibilities.
Adebayo's artwork appears to be a reflection on her personal journey and the story of her birth. She shares how her mother affectionately calls her "ÌLÒRÍ" and playfully recounts the amusing moments when she questions her conception. The artist playfully suggests that she jokingly implores her mother to use protection, a humorous remark that adds a light-hearted touch to the piece. The openness and candor with which Adebayo communicates her personal story add authenticity and vulnerability to the artwork, drawing viewers into her emotional world.
The central theme of the artwork revolves around family, particularly the artist's late brother who was just nine months old at the time of her conception. Through her words, "I Miss you bro and happy mother's month. Your struggle is noticed," Adebayo honors her sibling's memory and acknowledges the sacrifices her mother made as a parent.
The metaphorical use of the phrase "coconut head" suggests a sense of stubbornness, perhaps referring to the artist's own determination to enter this world despite the odds. This resilient spirit symbolizes the strength of the human will and the innate desire to live, even against all odds. It is a testament to the power of life and the profound connection between siblings, even those who have never met.
"ÌLÒRÍ" is more than just a visual artwork; it is a story of life, love, and the unbreakable ties that bind families together. Janet Adebayo...
