Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork displays a vibrant and lush jungle scene rendered in bold brushstrokes of green hues. Prominent foliage with variegated leaves dominates the composition, creating a sense of dense, tropical vegetation. The overall style is expressionistic, with the artist using energetic brushwork to capture the dynamic nature of the plant forms. This artwork likely reflects the artist's fascination with the natural world and their desire to convey the verdant, untamed quality of a thriving, primordial landscape. ...

Joy Labinjo’s large-scale figurative paintings often depict intimate scenes of historical and contemporary life, both real and imagined and often based on figures appearing in personal and archival imagery that include family photographs, found images and historical material. In the past, she has explored themes including but not limited to identity, political voice, power, Blackness, race, history, community and family and their role in contemporary experience. Her work presents fresh and arresting compositions of colour, pattern and motifs: key signatures of Labinjo’s work. Fundamentally, at the heart of Labinjo’s practice is a bold interest in storytelling and ultimately, people’s lives. Exploring multiple modes of representation including abstraction, naturalism, flatness and graphic patterns, Labinjo’s ‘collage aesthetic’ comprises an eclectic visual vocabulary and mixed painterly techniques which echo her experience of multiple identities – growing up Black, British, Nigerian in the 90s and early 00s. ...
