    Est: €6,000 - €8,000

    Gerald CHUKWUMA My new dress - 2008 Acrylique sur panneaux de bois brûlés Signé en bas au centre "GDY" Titré au dos 127 x 190 cm Acrylic on burnt wood panels ; Signed lower center "GDY", Titled on the reverse 50 x 75 in. Provenance : Galerie 23, Amsterdam Acquis directement auprès de cette dernière par l'actuel propriétaire Expositions : Amsterdam, Galerie 23, Unbreakable Nigerian Spirit, 2008 FR Originaire de Lagos, c’est à Nsukka que Gerald Chukwuma étudie la peinture au sein de l’Université du Nigéria. Artiste pluriel, il produit non seulement des œuvres graphiques et plastiques mais conçoit également du mobilier. Ses œuvres les plus célèbres sont ses sculptures complexes en panneaux de bois. Sa technique de brûlage, ciselage et de peinture construit une œuvre riche de sens personnel et politique. La tradition artistique de Nsukka est intimement corrélée à son travail. L’école de Nsukka a permis le développement et la modernisation de l’esthétique culturelle Igbo, peuple du sud-est du Nigeria, dont il est descendant. Il créé un langage visuel saisissant, liant symboles anciens, références contemporaines et historiques. Ce sont les "parchemins" de l'artiste qui documentent les histoires inédites de la culture Igbo et du Nigeria moderne, en résistance aux récits unilatéraux des médias, délibérément manipulés par les figures d'autorité. À travers ses recherches, il s’inquiète du manque de documentation de la culture Igbo et du risque de disparition de ce patrimoine culturel immatériel unique, qu’il espère combler en créant des œuvres qui pourraient en témoigner. Les motifs et symboles étaient traditionnellement peints directement sur la peau ou sous forme de peintures sur les murs d'une maison et s’effacent au soleil ou sous la pluie. Dans les œuvres de Chukwuma, ils sont rendus pérennes par divers procédés artistiques et intégrés dans une multitude de références. Chukwuma transforme des objets trouvés du quotidien en œuvres d’art riches de détails, une démarche qui témoigne de son enracinement dans l’ère contemporaine, et des enjeux relatifs aux changements environnementaux et écologiques. Son œuvre fait partie de collections privées et publiques, notamment aux États-Unis, aux Pays-Bas, au Ghana, au Royaume Uni et en France et a été exposée à l’international. EN Originally from Lagos, Gerald Chukwuma studied painting at the University of Nigeria in Nsukka. A multidisciplinary artist, he produces not only visual and sculptural works but also designs furniture. He is best known for his intricate wooden panel sculptures, crafted through a meticulous process of burning, carving, and painting, resulting in pieces rich with both personal and political significance. Chukwuma's work is deeply connected to the artistic tradition of Nsukka, a school that played a central role in developing and modernizing Igbo cultural aesthetics. A descendant of the Igbo people of southeastern Nigeria, he creates a striking visual language that fuses ancient symbols with contemporary and historical references. His artworks function as “scrolls,” documenting untold stories from Igbo culture and modern Nigeria, in defiance of the one-sided narratives often perpetuated by media and those in power. His practice is driven by concern over the lack of documentation of Igbo heritage and the risk of its disappearance. By embedding traditional symbols, which were once painted on skin or house walls and lost to sun and rain into his works using enduring artistic techniques, he seeks to preserve this unique intangible cultural legacy. Chukwuma also transforms found, everyday materials into detailed artworks, grounding his practice in contemporary realities and ecological concerns. His work is held in both private and public collections across the United States, the Netherlands, Ghana, the United Kingdom, and France, and has been exhibited internationally. Gerald CHUKWUMA
