Kelechi Nwaneri
Allegory Of Discipline

2024

About the Item

Kelechi Nwaneri, born in Lagos, Nigeria, is a self-taught mixed-media artist who has quickly gained recognition in the contemporary art world. Nwaneri's artistic style is characterized by a unique blend of realism, surrealism, and postmodernism. He often incorporates indigenous symbols, such as Adinkra, Uli, and Nsibidi, along with mystical, metaphysical, and allegorical imagery to create visually striking compositions. His signature "Black Hybrid Figure" is a recurring motif that symbolizes the concept of scars and tribal marks. In his latest solo exhibition with EBONY/CURATED, titled ‘Soliloquy’, Nwaneri explores themes of identity, introspection, and the complexities of human experience. This exhibition marks his second collaboration with the gallery and features a range of new works that delve into personal narratives and collective memories. The pieces in 'Soliloquy' showcase Nwaneri's signature style, blending vibrant colours and intricate details with West African iconography to create compositions that each reflect his unique approach to storytelling through art. The exhibition aims to provoke thought and dialogue around the psychological aspects of existence, inviting viewers to engage with the deeper meanings behind the imagery presented.
