About the work

This limited edition fine arts print is #82 of digital performances in the “Object 4b41 T77 Nuclei” series.

ABOUT THE SERIES AND PARENT OBJECT

This artwork is part of a performative series entitled “Object 4b41 T77 Nuclei.” The packaged object of “Object 4b41 T77 Nuclei” dwells at the crossroads of four realities – sacred, physical, old, and new.  The entire performance object is in its first of four metamorphosis stages – A Blocking Stage of Re-blocking, Redefining, and Finishing.

Now that we are in the age of AI, so I may not complicate thought before questioning the fear of the implicating power of AI technologies today, relative to the human mind power of art, where objects birth objects through thought, like machines make machines the role of the power of objects in our daily performative lives cannot be out-matched by AI, where AI itself is a human artful invention.  Here is an Object Art example:

 “Object 4b41 T77 Nuclei,” creates new objects through time and space relative to our daily performance – personal experiences and/or global/societal events.  These digital artworks are birthed by  “Object 4b41 T77 Nuclei,” a sculptural object performed digitally posted monthly on the social media network LinkedIn’s global audience since the beginning of 2021.   The digital imagery yielded through the performances of  “Object 4b41 T77 Nuclei,” are now available as an NFT for each digital artwork and as individual limited edition prints in editions of 77 relative to the T77 of the sculptural object, “Object 4b41.”  Each print is artist signed, dated, and numbered.

These digital art objects are created based on the idea that “Life is a Performance” relative to the power that objects yield in space and time.  The digital artworks are designed to entertain and perform in viewing thought interacting with people and ideas as objects. The digital art imageries and writings in the series of “Object 4b41 T77 Nuclei” often respond, relate to and address personal/social/global issues, world events, significant or trending biographical figures, and current politics provoking thought and massaging a continued healthy discourse.  They are works of art in the eyes of those who behold them as art speaks for itself in reasonable minds for art has no mouth to speak.  Individually, these digital objects as prints are thought in space relative to time.

The sculptural object, “Object 4b41 T77 Nuclei,” plus its yielded digital offsprings as performances are designed and packaged as one object for collection. For acquisition inquiries of the entire “Object 4b41 T77 Nuclei” packaged art, please contact us.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Olabayo David Olaniyi combines his Western Art academic training with his traditional/contemporary Western African art upbringing and thought as a unique philosophically-imbued artist.  He creates art objects of power based on his philosophy “Life is a Performance” he birthed while an artist-in-resident at the University of Michigan from 2000-2001 based on his life and art experiences. He currently lives in balance of four realities – sacred, physical, old, and new – in the State of Iowa, USA and creates on his acreages of studios at Bayo Park & Galleries.

Olabayo first came to the United States in 1988 as a visiting artist.  Olabayo received his BFA from the College of Santa Fe in 1993 and his MA/MFA from the University of Iowa in 2002. He has been an artist-in-resident at the National Black Theatre in Harlem and at the University of Michigan.  He has exhibited, performed and conducted art workshops extensively across the nation, artfully transforming every community he encounters. His art objects are in many prestigious private and public collections, including President Obama, Larry Gagosian, the New Mexico Governor’s office, the Smithsonian Institute and the University of Iowa Museum of Art.

Olabayo David Olaniyi was born in 1970 in Oshogbo, Nigeria, a city renown worldwide for traditional and contemporary Yoruba arts and culture. His parents are two of Africa’s most prominent artists, Chief Prince Twin Seven Seven, the UNESCO 2005 “Artist for Peace,” and Chief Nike Davies Okundaye, renown 4th generation fiber-artist who currently owns and operates the largest art gallery in West Africa, Nike Art Centre located in Lagos, Nigeria. Growing up around a variety of traditionally-skilled artisans, craftspeople, and musicians, Olabayo absorbed and mastered a variety of artistic mediums including metal-smithing, woodcarving, beading, fiber art, weaving, masquerading, music, drumming and theater.

Olabayo’s Western art experience is vast – first, rooted in the Santa Fe Art scene, incorporating the colors/culture of New Mexico to industrial bronze casting of the Pajaro Valley, Watsonville, California.  Immersed in the cultural arts of Harlem, NY, Olabayo learned under the tutelage of the late, revered Dr. Barbara Ann Teer. Calmness and roughage of the US Virgin Island’s blue seas also shaped his presence in the United States.  He has driven across the United States as the first “self-employed black artist” awarded child custody in the State of Iowa, giving him a unique perspective of life and art, and utilizing his artistic talents as a transformative tool to make the world a greater place for his children and all children. Olabayo studies and emphasizes the role objects play in daily performances relative to time and space. His in-depth understanding and unrivaled mastery of material births museum-quality art objects and collectibles employing a dynamic set of talents applicable to all facets of life.
