Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This contemporary artwork depicts a lively outdoor scene with a group of ghostly figures gathered around a grill. The prominent colors are muted tones of gray, white, and black, creating an ethereal, almost spectral atmosphere. The figures' simplified, sculptural forms and the focus on the cooking process suggest a symbolic, ritualistic quality to the scene. The artist's use of a bold, expressive style and the juxtaposition of the human figures with the natural setting evoke a sense of timelessness and contemplation on the human condition. This piece likely aims to explore themes of community, sustenance, and the transient nature of existence. ...

B.1994, Nigerian

Ekene Stanley Emecheta began his artistic journey at the tender age of four. As a self-taught figurative artist, he has honed a portraiture style that delves beyond mere physical representation, capturing the essence and persona of his subjects. His figural iconography blends elements from both fantastical and historical domains, intertwined with intimate personal narratives. By shifting focus away from chromatic identity, he directs the viewer's attention to the form and its contextual environment, broadening interpretive horizons and fostering a deep engagement with the narrative inherent in each piece. Emecheta often places figures of African descent in settings that deviate from their conventional or anticipated backdrops, challenging and reshaping historical narratives. Through his portraiture, Emecheta seeks to capture the core of the human experience, revealing the intricate facets of his subjects' stories and diverse identities. ...

The Breeder
Athens

The Breeder gallery was formed organically from The Breeder magazine due to the need of Athenian artists to promote international dialogue. Over the last 20 years The Breeder has been a pioneer in the development of the contemporary art scene in Athens. They show art that is relevant to our times and promote a select group of Greek artists on the global arena while also showing cutting edge international artists. The Breeder serves as a link that connects cultures and supports a deeper exchange. They support their community by providing an active platform for the exchange of ideas and ideals. In 2019 they introduced The Breeder Open Studio initiative, where the gallery is available to invited artists prior to their show. Working onsite the artists have the opportunity to engage with the audience in more substantial ways. Invited artists of the Breeder Open studio, include Ariana Papademetropoulos, Chioma Ebinama, Joy Labinjo, Ekene Stanley Emecheta, Victor Ubah, Barry Yusufu and Adegboyega Adesina. ...
