Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This contemporary artwork features an abstract composition with a mix of vibrant colors and bold shapes. The central element appears to be a human figure, partially obscured by a stylized architectural structure. The overall style combines elements of expressionism and cubism, with the fragmented and distorted representation conveying a sense of emotional intensity.

Tiwani Contemporary

Lagos, London

Founded in London in 2011 by Maria Varnava, Tiwani Contemporary exhibits and represents international contemporary artists. Specifically, the gallery champions artists from Africa and its diaspora. To celebrate its 10-year anniversary, in February 2022 Tiwani Contemporary launched a purpose-built 2,000sq ft space on Victoria Island, Lagos. For Maria Varnava, who grew up in Nigeria, this is considered a homecoming. Besides its regular programme of exhibitions, Tiwani Contemporary Lagos collaborates with G.A.S –Guest Artists Space–, Yinka Shonibare’s Foundation, to offer residencies for international artists from the programme who are interested in expanding their creative practice and exchanging with local artists.
