SUMMARY:Amy Kaslow Gallery Presents: Artist Talk with Chukwudinma Nsofor
DESCRIPTION:Chukwudinma Nsofor paints boldly\, brushing fast moving shapes with intense color changes of human energy. You can see traces of his hand lifting from the pigment. He calls his large-scale works documentary narratives\, abstract canvases that command a longer look and simply become immersive. The artist has plenty on his mind. \nA Nigerian Igbo crown prince from Oguta\, where lakes meet rivers and Uli iconography has decorated bodies and murals since the Ninth Century\, Chukwudinma’s reference point is Africa’s most populated nation of 350+ ethnic groups co-existing\, often uneasily. \nDevastated and divided by colonialism\, Nigeria gained independence in 1960\, but its young democracy has since suffered from corrosive leaders rigging elections and abusing public power for personal gain. “The titles and themes of my paintings are indicators\, advocates of other\, better ways of living and being\,” he offers\, prodding us to see\, to learn\, to research\, to question. His message\, like the meaning of his name Chukwudinma (God is good)\, is universal. \nA University of Nigeria\, Nsukka art department graduate with mentors who are luminaries of the iconic Uli practice and the early Igbo modernists\, Chukwudinma landed in Lagos. There he distinguished himself as a leading contemporary painter showing in New York and Abidjan galleries\, at ArtX Lagos\, the New York Art Fair\, the Dak’ Art Biennale\, Senegal. We are proud to host Chukwudinma’s first solo exhibition in the United States. \nJoin us for an artist talk on Thursday\, March 13th\, from 6:00pm to 7:30pm. The event is free and open to the public. Stop by to meet Chukwudinma and enjoy a libation. Doors open at 6:00pm\, and the talk begins at 6:30pm. The event ends at 7:30pm.
