The Hug & Take A Moment Diptych

This expressive and beautifully soulful diptych explores a contemporary figurative aesthetic through its elongated silhouettes and tender emotional narrative. Studio IMO masterfully balances a protective, nested embrace against a serene, reflective portrait, using an unconventional, earthy palette of mustard yellow, clay red, and muted lilac-pinks. It is an exceptional statement set, perfect for bringing a sense of human warmth to a serene bedroom, cosy living room, or reading nook.

Studio IMO aka Ibi Meier-Oruitemeka creates bold, graphic paintings often depicting intimate human connection with striking black figures that dominate the canvas. IMO’s paintings often depict multiple figures and hands reaching out, vibrating with imagined chatter, and speak of friendships, family, love, and connection that goes beyond language.

Artwork description: Centred on muted, textured backgrounds, this two-piece art print set features stylised figures with elongated limbs and geometric silhouettes. The left composition shows two figures in an embrace, rendered in mustard yellow, light blue, and mauve. The right composition features a single figure with a green hat and a braid, framed by terracotta and slate blue tones. Both pieces use visible brushstrokes and a high-contrast, earthy colour scheme to create a clear visual impact.
