Chidi Kwubiri Original Framed Acrylic On Paper. Dated 2006. Untitled. Original is approx 36 1/2" x 1 1/2" x 48". The original is in good, used condition with some light wear on the frame. Appears to be part of his "Mask" series. Also comes with a signed art book that shows some of Chidi's other pieces.<br> <br> Chidi Kwubiri’s paintings are created through a process of dripping paints onto canvas, producing a series of dots that form his images. Oscillating between the figurative and the abstract, Kwubiri forms faces, bodies, and masks using bright and expressive colors. At close inspection, his paintings rely on the elemental physical foundation of paint in a pointillist approach. Viewed from a distance, we are able to discern the iconographies and larger metaphors of the scenes depicted. Many of Chidi Kwubiri’s paintings address the archetypal human figure, focusing on the body and its fragments. In other words, Kwubiri remains focused on the symbols and themes of Nigerian culture, from masquerades and traditional customs to aspects of social life. While living in Germany for the past two decades, and being deeply influenced by his studies at the Dusseldorf Art Academy, his work negotiates the complexity of two different cultures while remaining strong to his local roots.
