Artwork location: France

This captivating work of art, embodied by a bold fusion of figurative and abstract styles, evokes a multitude of emotions and deep thoughts. The face depicted is both familiar and alien, a mosaic of texture and color that immediately draws the eye. The facial features, while recognizable, are distorted in an almost surreal manner, giving the whole a dreamlike quality. The colors used here are rich and varied; flesh tones blend with vivid hues of blue, yellow, and purple, creating a striking contrast that accentuates every detail. The lines are drawn with impressive precision, each stroke of the pencil or brush appearing deliberate and meaningful. The minute floral motifs and delicate details add surprising complexity and fascinating visual depth. The textures are shifting, from smooth and delicate to rough and grainy, further enriching the composition and compelling the viewer to examine the work more closely. The judicious use of negative space around the face draws attention to the central features, creating a powerful focal point that allows for a better appreciation of the intricate details of the work. The asymmetrical aspect of the head, with accumulations of detail on one side contrasted with more airy spaces on the other, gives a dynamism and subtle movement to the work, evoking continuity or change. In short, this creation is a provocative and striking piece, seamlessly blending the figurative and the fantastical while offering a plethora of potential interpretations. It is a work that not only attracts but also holds attention, always offering new facets to discover.

Imagine it at home

Ofobuike Okudoh, Irin ajo
Nigeria  • 1992

Presentation

Ofobuike Okudoh is a visual artist and designer born in Lagos, Nigeria in 1992 , who speaks through ethereal lines, patterns and rich texture.

After 4 years of extensive studies in Accounting, he decided to chase his creative dreams in France where he swiftly integrated into the culture and successfully completed his studies in Fashion design at the prestigious ESMOD Roubaix.

Identity has always been a pertinent subject, as his first exhibition 'Imprimé identifié' which held at Bureau d'Art et de la Recherche , Roubaix, France expressed rich prints with reference to textile art.

Wearable art as it concerns tackling fast fashion is also one of his fortes. His whimsical illustrations also graced the walls of the XI Bienal Internacional de Arte SUBA 2019 in Mexico as well as The African art exhibition at the Jesuit institute in Nairobi where an impressive number of African masters were partakers.     

Blurring the lines of  oppressive antics that undermine the African beauty and prowess is one of the societal battles his art is set to win.
