About the Item

“A View to a Brighter Future” is a vibrant and uplifting fabric collage painting that embodies the promise of hope and optimism. As viewers engage with the collage, they are encouraged to reflect on their journeys and the moments of clarity that guide them toward brighter horizons. Through this work, may we all find the courage to gaze forward with hope, embracing the beauty and potential of what lies ahead. The collage is composed of various fabrics—each chosen for its colour, texture, and significance. Bright hues of yellow and orange symbolize optimism and warmth, while deeper blues and greens represent growth and stability. These elements weave together to form a landscape that suggests both a journey and a destination, with layered patterns that hint at the complexities of life. 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. 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 are an exploration of numerous waste materials most especially fabric in the execution of his paintings. He doesn’t simply conceptualize 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 saw around his environment and practising 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 colourful 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 colours 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.
