About the Item

"Not A Space For One" by Chinedu Chidebe: A Thought-Provoking Exploration of Connection and Isolation Chinedu Chidebe's artwork "Not A Space For One" is a striking and thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between human beings. The artwork features two human figures, rendered in bold, confident strokes of acrylic and oil on canvas. The figures are in a pose, suggesting no sense of intimacy and connection. However, there is also a sense of tension and discomfort, as if the figures are struggling to find their place in relation to each other. The surrounding space is largely empty, with only a few spare lines suggesting a sense of depth and distance. This creates a sense of isolation and separation as if the two figures are alone in a vast, empty space. The title of the artwork, "Not A Space For One," reinforces this sense of isolation and emphasizes the importance of human connection and interaction. Chidebe's artwork is a powerful statement on the human need for connection and intimacy. The figures suggest a deep desire for closeness and affection, but the surrounding emptiness suggests the difficulty of achieving this connection. The tension and discomfort in the figures' pose suggest the potential for conflict and misunderstanding in human relationships. At the same time, the strength and vulnerability of the figures suggest the potential for growth and understanding through connection. Ultimately, "Not A Space For One" is a poignant and thought-provoking artwork that invites the viewer to consider the complexities of human relationships. Chidebe's bold and confident strokes of acrylic and oil create a dynamic and engaging composition that draws the viewer in and encourages them to examine the artwork from multiple angles. The artwork is a powerful reminder of the importance of connection and intimacy in our lives, and the challenges that can arise when we strive to achieve these essential human needs. 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 (Issued by the Gallery) About Artist Chinedu Chidebe (1998) is a visual artist born and raised in Anambra, Nigeria. He studied fine and applied art at the University of Nigeria Nsukka (painting major) and has acquired other formal training which has contributed to developing his skill. He works with a variety of mediums and has continually drawn inspiration from his personal experiences. His works can be seen as an allegory where he takes inspiration from the idea of a virtual reality headset and uses it as a metaphor to explore the concept of living in one’s head and getting lost in that space which makes it difficult to accept what’s real; which is one of the problems we face in the modern world and is partly the reason why young people resort to drug use which is barely talked about. Artist Statement Using acrylic, oil, graphite, and charcoal, I depict young Nigerians like myself whose minds are psychologically elsewhere, though they are physically present. This is why I choose to paint over the eyes of my subjects, as I draw inspiration from the worlds that are manifested in a virtual reality headset. The protective refuge that the mind creates, however comforting and seductive, is not a viable way to live. I have begun to discern what can be changed from what cannot be changed, to adapt, and to emerge into the light in order to live more fully.

Figurehead

Located in Ibadan, Oyo

In the days when every seaport had its figurehead to show, this same day calls for free, I must go save these countrymen, my honorable crew if they still breathe. I must sail deep down north again, with strong men and skillful hands. All I ask this day is dread naught and a star to steer her as the people blare for salvaging; And all I ask again is a windy day and a friendly storm at night, And a sweet dream with my shipment when the long cruise is over.
