As I write this blog, right now it is being remodeled into an Artist hub that would comprise Artist Studio spaces, Art galleries and everything Art wise.

Bare walls for Artist to Install their Art

The actual space for this years exhibition is also under remodeling and construction how cool is that and this space will be occupied by the Joburg fringe for the next 4 days.

Clearing my wall space at the Fringe Venue

It is under construction and remodeling so the walls are bare and you can see the old bones of the building and the Industrial appeal is so in your face... it is beautiful.

Abstract Art Paintings: Colors of Emotions Series by Miabo Enyadike

Abstract Art Paintings: Colors of Emotions Series This Abstract Art Series is based on color coded emotions. Emotions are feelings within us that we project outside, sometimes the turmoil we feel within us or the joy and happiness can be interpreted to mean a dark mood, red hot, happiness, sadness and more. I created this art at a time the mood around the world was filled with mixed emotions, turmoil, confusion and anger due to COVID-19. Art for me was a kind of escape and a way to translate how people felt, locked up and confused emotionally. Colors always play a part in our moods and emotions, the calm cool blue, determined red hot, happy yellow, green calm perfectionist, dark mysterious mourning black, all these interpretations of colors, project who we are or how we feel at certain times. My abstract art series on emotions, tries to tie the colors of emotion together not as individual colors of emotions but as several emotions entangled up in our minds...

The Magic of Abstract Flower Paintings | Miabo Enyadike

Expressionist Flowers Paintings Abstract Expressionism is a way for me to express my art inspirations, I have always wanted so much color in my paintings, I don't know about most artists, but my art comes alive in my eyes when the colors burst wild. I found comfort in the expressionist style of art, where color creates form and is entwined with action, this style allows me to express my inspirations and ideas in a way that is different but not far fetched. In this floral series I find myself once again wondering if I am really an expressionist, or an artist still battling to find a style that satisfies my yearn for color, so I am back to floral paintings, in Abstract Expressionism or simply just creating in my own style maybe? Abstract floral paintings in expressionism, is way a I can depict a flower plant in a different perspective, colorful, bo...

Recycled Objects into Art: A Sustainable Art Living by Artmiabo

The Art of Sustainable Living Sustainable living, Found Objects, Recycling, Up-cycle, Eco Art, call it whatever has been my life style as an artist for many years. My attitude toward the discarded found object is reflected in my home. I collect used bottles, books, distressed wood, pine cones, used jeans, used clothing, used plastics and so many more to create art and design for homes, collectors and my store. My home forms an integral part of my art process, because I work and live in the same space as the Art I sell. My early inspiration came from Jasper Johns early works where he used mostly found objects to create art. Cross Made out of Wood, Egg Shells and Egg Crates Then I moved on to be inspired by street art here in Africa through my travels across the continent. I discovered really moving and inspiring art, created with found objects that we take for granted ...
