About the Item

In the Layers of Reality Series, the Shaman/child is depicted. In anthropologist Manvir Singh’s definition of shaman, there are three basic features: entering non-ordinary states, engaging with unseen realities, and providing healing and divination services. Children do all of these naturally. They even bring important information to family and community if we honor them by listening attentively. Black Dragon on an Armadillo. Cold wax, tissue paper, and oil stick over acrylic paint on panel, 2025. Animals are complex and have their individual totems. The Armadillo teaches healthy protection - shielding without shutting down. At the same time, she appropriates the Black Dragon of a small child for the embodiment of untamed nature and incomprehensible chaos.

Untitled Black - Large Textural Original Abstract Artwork - Ready to Hang

Untitled Black - Large Textural Original Abstract Artwork - Ready to Hang

By Olympio

Located in Los Angeles, CA

This large textural abstract energetic artwork on canvas by Togolese artist Olympio is a unique mixed media painting with a raw and direct aesthetic, providing an unfiltered manifestation of the artist's soul. Its expressive brushstrokes and vibrant color palette and the incorporation of an additional piece of canvas to the surface add an extra dimension of texture and interest to this already captivating piece. Olympio's raw and direct approach to mixed media and collage on canvas creates a tactile experience that provides a captivating insight into the artist's creative vision. Bright, energetic marks encircle rough textures that are perfectly balanced by the peaceful compositions beneath, creating a sense of harmony and balance in this exceptional artwork. This 60 inch square mixed-media painting is signed by Olympio on the back of the canvas. His technique brings forth a powerful composition of color and texture. Several details emphasize the texture and materiality of his canvases. The painting is wired and ready to hang. The sides of the artwork are painted and it does not require framing. Free local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable U.S. and global shipping are available. A Certificate of Authenticity issued by Artplex Gallery is included. Painting, for Olympio, is following a feeling. It is discovering the internal balance of a piece and recognizing beauty when it is unveiled. In his early 20's in the coastal city of Lomé, he would watch the sky slip from blues into oranges and reds. These colors captured him and drew forward the pieces that have since brought his work into galleries around the globe. He now resides in Los Angeles and is collected worldwide.
