"In The Darkest Hour" An Attempt to Provoke More Actions and Conversations Against Sexual Abuse in the #MeToo Era

Image
In The Darkest Hour #MeToo My Intention: This initiative encompasses the outbursts of varying struggles of women as part of society, thereby rallying you and I to own major stakes in the transformation of our eco system. I have been observing patterns for several years, which has now accumulated. Hence forcing me to create "In The Darkest Hour" as part of my ongoing Series "Through Heaven's Eyes". My artistic contibrutiion to the #MeToo movement With several stories currently going round the media on Sexual Abuse Scandals, from the 3-10 years jail sentence of Bill Crosby (said to be the first celebrity trial of the #MeToo Era), to the recent allegation of Sexual Assault against US Supreme Court nominee Judge Hon. Brett M. Kavanaugh,  the accuser, Dr. Christine Bladder Ford says the major reason why she has come out is in her responsibility "To Tell The Truth".  Stage One " Talking about telling the truth, It is quite unfort...

"ALIYA" from the series: Through Heaven's Eyes

Image
Aliya Done on with the charcoal Medium on Paper Don't grow up. Time tells of old tales Or so the teller tells Memories may mark your light More memories may mar your night But don't forget the splash of colours Swimming through your rainbow lenses Don't forget crumbs of crawling favours Sprinkled on the sands of time Girl, don't grow up. But if you do, Don't loose your sight, For they see "Through Heaven's Eyes" A close up shot to the Drawing- Aliya done by Fatola Israel  MY INSPIRATION   My name is Fatola Israel and I just want YOU to be inspired. I have so many things to say (as an Artist, musician, and a photographer). However,  let me begin by introducing to you the very first work off my ongoing series "Through Heaven's Eyes". What do you think about Aliya's countenance? Does it make you question so many things like I do?  Does it make you feel things could be better if we take that one step? ...

The Voice of the Voiceless - My approach to Light, Composition, and others Elements

Image
Fatola's The Voice of the Voiceless Your understanding and appreciation of this piece "The Voice of the Voiceless" lies in my intent to create. This can be enhanced by asking the questions, "Why was this created?" and What is it's purpose?" My Candid Answer: By replicating reality in the finest detail, I have simply pursued Truth. It's very simple. The reason why I have created this piece is an attempt to reveal the Truth about how the world looks, and how it works.  My aim is to force you to confront Azeez' troublesome gaze. And I sincerely hope the truth I discover (which I believe is endless) provides a valid commentary on his condition as a human. Throughout my Project "Through Heaven's Eye's", I will be reaching outward to describe truths of "others". Truth about humanity - by puting myself in their position, and trying to reflect with a great honesty, their innermost acclaim. experiences and emotions. ...

Artwork Review: "SOUNDS FROM THE OTHER SIDE" (The Creative fusion of Art and Music)

Image
Musician Stevie Wonder has said that "music is a world within itself, with a language we all understand." Music is a language, with or without words, serving as a medium for people from all walks of life to express their deepest thoughts and emotions. In fact, author Leo Tolstoy has described music as "the shorthand of emotion". Personally, I have thought about the dominating music genre at the moment, and how we easily sing along to the songs from these Artistes. One prominent musician doing justice to this on the African scene is Wizkid , which is why I have chosen him as the subject matter in this Art piece. Without doubt, he has proven himself as a polymath in the fusion of contemporary Afro-Pop in grand style. Sounds From The Other Side (Detailed Shot) Of course, the musical experience goes beyond simply listening to it; as an exercise in creativity and as a social activity, music involves considerable emotional and cognitive investmen...
