Hyperrealistic Oil Paintings of Vivid Chrome Masks by Kip Omolade

Brooklyn-based artist Kip Omolade creates large-scale oil paintings of chrome masks, depicting not only the subtle details of female faces, but incorporating the reflected environment of each piece. The series, entitled Diovadiova Chrome, makes reference in part to historical African sculptures, while exploring contemporary aspects of identity, luxury, and immortality. Each piece begins as a mold and cast taken from an actual model which is then utilized as source material for Omolade’s towering paintings which can measure several feet tall.

“Diovadiova Chrome portraits historically connect to ancient, realistic African sculptures such as Benin ivory masks and Ife bronze heads,” shares Omolade in his artist statement. “The oil paintings are psychological studies that investigate immortality, the universal masks we all wear and contemporary notions of beauty and luxury. The labor-intensive process involves making a mold and cast of each model’s face, reworking the cast plaster sculpture, producing a version in resin and adding a chrome layer with artificial eyelashes. The final sculpture then serves as a model for the hyper-realistic oil painting. This technique maintains the likeness qualities of portraiture while re-presenting a mask that serves as a conduit between the spiritual and natural world.”

The term Omolade uses to describe the series, Diovadiova, is a word he derived from a combination of the Italian word “Dio” meaning god, and the historical meaning of the word “diva” which is goddess.

Omolade first began his art career working as a graffiti artist while interning at Marvel Comics and The Center for African Art and went on to earn a BFA from the School of Visual Arts. His work was most recently included in the Re:Semblance exhibition at the Redbull House of Art in Detroit and last year’s FREAK OUT! show at Zhou B Art Center.

Whitley Schnee’s Semblance

Mirror Requiem

Contrary to expectations, hereditary semblances are not an absolute guarantee that they would inherited by all of descendants. Whitley’s is one such example. However, his close proximity with his family, and the emphasis derived on inheriting its legacy has caused his Semblance to grow enough that it has approximate similarities to the Schnee Hereditary Semblance.

When activating his Semblance, Whitley manifests the likeness of his family’s emblem, enclosed in a white ring. However, this is merely the activation, as the snowflake fades away, leaving in place a mirror-like surface in the white ring. Whitley can manifest multiple copies of the mirrors, however, the more he manifests, the more it drains his Aura.

These mirrors are able to become block attacks, though their main function is to reflect attacks (normally a physical attack or a projectile) back toward his opponent, damaging them. He could, theoretically, ricochet his own projectiles, increasing their own power and speed, until he can angle it to hit his target. Alternatively, he could jump, manifest the mirror below him, and when he lands on it, the mirror will repel him, effectively giving him a “double jump”. With proper training, he would be able to reflect non-physical attacks such as the effects of semblances, including the Mind-based ones. If someone were to try to induce hallucinations on him, he can manifest his Semblance, concentrate, and the mirror will reflect the effect back on the user.

In addition, Whitley is able to capture the image of a person with his Mirror, and assume the form of the image. However, in doing so, he will look like the mirror image of his target, so their physical traits may not correctly match up. For example, a scar on the right side of the face will end up on the left side. Offensively, he could materialize an object from the image, creating replicas of the person he is fighting. Projecting his Semblance before a firing squad will manifest the reflection of the firing squad, with their own real weaponry.

However, there are two primary weaknesses to this semblances. First, while it’s ability to reflect attacks is potent, it will break under enough force. Secondly, the mirrors do not regenerate damage, leaving them damaged and fractured unless Whitley forcibly dispels them, taking a hit to his overall Aura.
