Elisha Nyong
Bohemian - 21st Century, Contemporary, Figurative, Surrealism, Africa, Women

2024

About the Item

"The Bohemian" is part of a new collection titled "Ode to Guardians and the Impuissant". It is a visual discourse on the frail but resilient nature of black women whom I call black heroines. The collection from which this piece has its inspiration is Maya Angelou's work "Still I Rise" and it speaks of the unapologetic nature of a race that has been graded second-class for so long yet there's so much strength to be found where they're thought to be weak. 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 the Artist Elisha Nyong’s surreal body of work is a terrene representation of his personal “Surrealist’s manifesto” which he developed as a budding artist. It encapsulates the surreal practice of André Breton, and the allusions of Salvador Dalí, and is fueled by the psychoanalytic of Freud. His style is born of studies and research to better understand creativity by exploring abstract themes of an abstract world with physical consequences. ARTIST STATEMENT: Demystifying the mysteries of existentialism is the core of my art praxis; my technique rides stately on the back of free-spiritedness and countermanding superstitions and taboos of the society in which I was raised. The unique themes of my visual allegories are a clarion call to seek out, and assimilate dimensions beyond the three-dimensional world... it is a letter, so long I’ve barely begun.
