About the work
Lateef Olajumoke’s painting Taste of Friendship beautifully captures the bond between two men through his signature use of wavy, nonlinear lines and textured imagery. The figures, though abstracted, exude a sense of connection and warmth, representing the depth of human relationships. Olajumoke’s intersecting lines flow and merge, symbolizing the complexities of friendship—its ups, downs, and shared experiences.
The rich textures and layered colors draw viewers into a deep emotional space, inviting them to reflect on the nature of companionship. As the lines intersect and overlap, the painting evokes feelings of harmony, understanding, and the intricate beauty of friendship.
