I wasn't able to find out much about this piece, not even the name - so if you know something about it, please post it, and I'll change the title.
Here's a link to an interview with the artist: https://republic.com.ng/june-july-2023/chigozie-obi-art/
I think I found the name. According to the page https://www.chigozieobi.com/comingupforair, it is a two-pieces painting called "ADORNED (DIPTYCH)".
Thanks!!
In the section COMING UP FOR AIR*, it's listed as:
ADORNED (DIPTYCH)
MIXED MEDIA. 36 x 42 INCHES EACH. 2020.
And here it's the description shown on the details page:
Tattoos are deeply rooted in humanity's history. They have longed served different purposes from body beautification to identification, remembrance, healing, traditional and cultural rites. But looking different also attracts negative reactions. In many instances people with tattoos are reduced to stereotypes and judged negatively because they are different. 'Adorned' illustrates a woman embracing and confidently showing off her body markings without regards to the common mentality of how she may be perceived by those who find discomfort in her appearance.
* I don't know how to navigate to that section from the homepage. I found it on the Google reverse image search (click "Find image source").
Thanks!!
Wander the gallery. Look at the art. Be polite. If you feel able please post some great art :)
