The Story behind the 'Bridesmaid' Ink Art | By Miabo Enyadike



              Bridesmaid Painting


The Bridesmaid, by Miabo Enyadike

I love objects I find in my early morning walks, I am a picker so when I saw a set of books and magazines, ready for the paper trucks outside a gate as I walked one morning,

I simply knocked and asked the owners, if I could have the books and yours truly I was given everything.

When they found out what I did for a living it got more interesting....

Anyway we are friends now and they saw this Art and now truly understand, when I told them that my passion as an Artist, is to create value with the discarded....

Title: The Bridesmaid
Medium: Ink on book pages
Style : Abstract Expressionism,by Miabo Enyadike

Why bridesmaids? sometime last month I watched the 2008 movie

27 dresses again, and truly felt a certain need to create a painting about this subject which is bridesmaid.

 I have never thought of that before, we see a lot of wedding portraits of the bride hardly any of just the bridesmaid.

The bridesmaid is important in the wedding, yet obscure and meant to help the bride yet remain invincible, so she does not steal the day from the bride it is fascinating to me.

 I have been a bridesmaid before, its like been out there yet you are in the shadows almost unseen, yet relevant to the whole wedding arrangement.

This painting shows the fragile nature of the bridesmaid's role to remain in the shadows, not to outshine the bride in order not to destroy a beautiful day, that has been meticulously written and put together in preparation for one day, is the inspiration behind the painting been made on glued patched pages of a book if you get what I mean.

 It is a story, of the coming together of two people to celebrate their love in holy matrimony.

It is a fragile day, anything can go wrong on that day, hence the duty of the bridesmaid though in the shadows, has to be strong and present for the bride throughout the day, she serves as the bride's eyes and ears, making sure everything put together in the wedding story, stays that way.  

This painting is dedicated to bridesmaids out there.....enjoy
