The intersection of light, color, life, energy, and how self-illumination and self-discovery interline, is the thrust of a solo exhibition of paintings by award-winning interdisciplinary Germany-based Nigerian artist, Chidi Kwubiri, which opened last Friday at Alexis Gallery, Victoria Island, Lagos. Titled “Luminous Presence – A Journey into the heart of light, where art and soul intertwine,” and hosted by Alexis Gallery, the exhibition, which will run till Saturday November 9, 2024, features Kwubiri’s most recent creations and expressive mastery of dynamic pointillism and splashing painting techniques. As the founder of Alexis Gallery, Patty Chidiac Mastrogiannis, notes, “‘Luminous Presence’ draws us in through the luminous flux, energies and atoms that lie presence in our lives, inspiring us to tap into our inner luminescence and revel in the freedom and possibilities open to us with light.
Featuring refreshing and energetic paintings that connects and convey us through the journey towards life, color, illumination and self-discovery.” Kwubiri’s exhibition explores the intersection of light, colour, life, and energy, imploring the viewer to experience the radiant beauty of the human spirit, the Luminescence that connects us and the essence of ‘presence’. “We invite you to immerse yourself in Chidi Kwubiri’s refreshingly striking paintings that open up the hidden aspects of our shared human connection with light and colour,” she added.
