    Obiora Udechukwu | Enter the Chameleon

    Est: $2,000 - $3,000

    OBIORA UDECHUKWU (Nigerian, b.1946) ENTER THE CHAMELEON 1986 Etching 34 x 27 cm. (13 3⁄4 x 10 5⁄8 in.) Signed and dated (lower right) $ 2,000-3,000 Obiora Udechukwu is one of Nigeria’s most influential artists and poets and a leading figure of Nigeria’s Nsukka school. His artistic career began in the early 1970s after the Nigerian Civil war. Part of the second wave of modern artists at Nigerian universities after independence, Udechukwu was mentored by pioneering artist Uche Okeke, who spearheaded the art department at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. Udechukwu completed his studies at Nsukka and continued to teach there over three decades, where he eventually led the department. Udechukwu embraced Uche Okeke’s philosophy of “natural synthesis”, a blend of African traditions with Western art discourses. Udechukwu’s art is influenced by the Uli tradition of Southeastern Nigeria. While Uli design was historically used for body and mural painting in Igbo culture, Udechukwu’s embrace of these abstract, non-linear forms placed this tradition within modernist art practice.
