  • Chidi Kwubiri | Untitled
    Nov. 30, 2020

    Chidi Kwubiri | Untitled

    Est: $12,000 - $15,300

    Estimate: ₦ 5,500,000-7,000,000 | $12,000-15,300 | 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 colours. 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 works, 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. | Chidi Kwubiri (Nigerian, b. 1966), Untitled, 2013, Acrylic on canvas, 99 x 247 cm.
