Aarin + Painting
/2022
Aarin embodies the exceptional intersection of painting and dance, with four pieces forming an imperfect circle that challenges the harmonious perfection of the Japanese enso. He elegantly merges dance and acrylic painting, creatinga captivating visual dialogue. The name "Aarin," which means "center" in Yoruba, establishes a deep connection between artistic creation and the concept of centrality.
Aarin is not merely a static artwork but a "paintformance" where the artist himself blends into a dynamic expression of movement and color. The artist conceived this immersive experience to explore the essence of center through a powerful interpretation, encouraging the viewer to contemplate the convergence of dance and painting.
Each gesture, each movement captured on the canvas, reflects this personal and universal exploration of center,inviting the viewer to connect with their own inner center through the observation of this unique artistic fusion.
