Artist: Fatola Israel ( @heavenlyartz) Artwork Title: "Erin Ayo😃" (Laughter of Joy) Dimension: 60 by 91cm Medium: Graphite and Charcoal on Modelling Paper (White) Year: 2016 “It is an amazing thing to watch people laugh, the way it sort of takes them over. Sometimes they really do struggle with it. I see that often enough in church, school, parties, concerts. So I wonder what it is and where it comes from, and I wonder what it expends out of your system, so that you have to do it till you’re done, like crying in a way, "While the laughter of joy is in full harmony with our deeper life, the laughter of amusement should be kept apart from it" It's Christmas season. I humbly wish every single soul a fulfilled December, and a more blessed new year ahead. May you have every reason to Laugh this season. PS: This piece was exhibited at the Eko Art Expo in February 2017 and was bought by the then Lagos State Governor Akinwunmi Ambode
