The Scream 2022

Arogunmati Omoyeni

Acrylic on canvas.

Bold, sweeping strokes define an abstracted face with wide, shocked eyes and an open mouth. The stark black shapes on a pale background amplify the painting's primal, visceral sense of alarm and distress.

Omoyeni is an artist who expresses her thoughts and feelings through identical portraits painted in an impressionist style with varying degrees of abstraction. Her work focuses on human facial gestures through abstraction and simplification, referencing both impressionism and abstract art trends. She uses short and long brush strokes with a mass dollop of oil or acrylic paint on canvas to create a layered and textured look. Omoyeni's color palette is limited, with a focus on one main color highlighted by smaller accents. Her work is influenced by Carlos Delgado's "Faces of the System" collection.
