Contemporary Art- Abstract Painting on Discarded Ceiling Board Stop and Love by Miabo Enyadike


Abstract Painting on Discarded Ceiling Board Stop and Love

Beginning of the year is always one full of promises and resolutions, that we make for ourselves some type of guide lines, that we hope will make us better people.

These resolutions are a reflection of our experiences the past year and we just hope to change them or better them somehow as the months go by.

Stop and love, is a painting created on a used gypsum fiber board, aka ceiling tiles.
It reflects our society today, where the hurting are left to languish, or sheer disregard for humanity. 

I think, we are just simply overwhelmed by events around us, that we almost cannot comprehend 
how these things happen, let alone stop and love our fellow man.

My resolutions are many and year in year out, one that stands out for me, that I truly accomplish is recycle more and help preserve my environment through one recycle and sustainable art at a time.

 I decided to place one of my new year resolutions on it, as a constant reminder that I need to love more and give more.

I know it sounds corny,  but when we take our minds back to how ruthless and mean, this year has been around the world, it is heart wrenching and we need to Stop and love.

For me it starts with my family Stop and love, my neighbours, no matter how annoying they are, Stop and love. 
In our workplaces with all the backstabbing and stress,
please stop and love.

With our environs and its sustainabilty, Stop and love.
