The Story
Introducing "Assassins", an original masterpiece by the exceptionally talented Charmaine Chanakira. This striking artwork, framed in a sophisticated black floating wooden frame measuring 36 x 28 inches, is a profound expression of the artist's inner world and her response to contemporary culture.
"Assassins" is a visual symphony of abstract shapes and vibrant colours that conjure up the energetic essence of urban graffiti. At its heart lies an enigmatic white figure, crowned amidst a canvas teeming with dynamic symbols and snippets of text. The backdrop is a kaleidoscope of deep ocean blues, fiery oranges, midnight blacks, frosty whites, soft pinks, lush greens, and earthy olives — each hue vying for attention yet harmoniously balanced to create an alluring whole.
Chanakira's art resonates with her experiences as a black woman traversing between her Zimbabwean roots and London life. Her work combines acrylics, oil pastels, and pen strokes in an exploration of primitivism and symbolism that invites viewers into a world where emotions swirl in vivid colours.
Every element in "Assassins" serves as part of a secret code; some messages are overt while others linger beneath layers waiting to be discovered. This artwork not only captivates with its immediate beauty but also engages on deeper levels - offering insights into the artist’s thoughts and feelings.
Owning "Assassins" means embracing not just an exquisite piece of art but also engaging with the compelling narrative it weaves—a narrative that reflects our own vulnerabilities and strengths back at us. It’s more than decoration; it’s a dialog between the viewer and Charmaine Chanakira’s extroverted artistic expression—boldly claiming space for introspection within our bustling lives.
