One of the most exciting modern artists I have stumbled across since starting these essays. Obi is a Nigerian artist with impressionist and expressionist tendencies with beautiful execution and style. Here we see she also plays with framing and separation, the photographer’s left hand on a camera is separate from the main piece. Also the colors are beautiful, with the red and yellow and touches of blue - when viewed close become apparent, but from a distance blend perfectly and indistinguishably.
I really had to zoom in to see the extra colours, quite the antidote to a dull photorealistic portrait. Quite playful using three canvases too :)
