About the Item

Shipping Procedure Ships in a well-protected tube from Nigeria This work is unique, not a print or other type of copy. Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. "The Beautician" is a striking fabric collage painting that captures the essence of beauty and transformation through a rich tapestry of textiles and textures. This artwork offers a nuanced exploration of the art of beautification, celebrating both the external and internal aspects of the craft. The collage embodies the intricate and multifaceted nature of a beautician’s work, blending elements of elegance and artistry with a touch of whimsy. The careful arrangement of these materials reflects the artist's skilful manipulation of texture and colour, creating a visual and tactile experience that speaks to the transformative power of beauty. At the heart of "The Beautician" lies a central figure, an abstract representation of a beautician at work. The use of vibrant, yet harmonious colours evokes the vitality and energy of the beauty industry, celebrating the joy and confidence that comes from transformation. Each fabric piece contributes to a greater whole, mirroring the way a beautician brings together diverse elements to create a cohesive and stunning result. -About Artist Agwunwa Theophilus Chinonso was born in 1990, He hails from Ejeme Aniorgor, Aniocha South, Delta State, Nigeria. He graduated with a distinction from Auchi Polytechnic, Auchi in Edo State where he studied Arts and Industrial Design (Painting). His works explore numerous waste materials, especially fabric, in the execution of his paintings. He doesn’t simply conceptualise daily activities and human state of mind in his paintings, he transforms waste materials into wealth (beautiful works of art). At a tender age, he discovered his gift as an artist, both visual and performing art drawing almost everything he sees around his environment and practicing musical instruments as well. Artist Statement As a Nigerian-based artist, I see my art as a form of up-cycling because I transform Ankara fabrics (African prints) both old and new into beautiful paintings that portray daily activities, love, and a human state of mind. The use of colorful Ankara materials with lovely motifs and patterns characterizes my unique style. Ankara fabric was chosen as my primary medium of expression because of the lovely patterns on it and how it captures the essence of my work. The use of vibrant colors of fabrics in my painting depicts hope as it tends to encourage the viewers to stay focused and that there is always light at the end of the tunnel.
