"JOY WITHIN" is a captivating fabric collage painting that weaves together fragments of fabric,
colour, and texture to explore the theme of inner happiness. This artwork is a rich tapestry of
emotion, where each piece of fabric contributes to a larger narrative about the profound and
transformative power of joy.
The collage is a vibrant explosion of textile fragments, carefully selected and layered to create a dynamic interplay of patterns and hues. The artist’s choice of materials—from shimmering silks and textured linens to bold prints and delicate laces—adds depth and dimension to the piece, symbolizing the multifaceted nature of happiness. The textures not only enhance the visual impact but also invite viewers to experience the piece through a tactile sense, bridging the gap between sight and touch.
At the centre of "JOY WITHIN," a radiant burst of colour emerges, symbolizing the core of inner
contentment. Surrounding this focal point are intricate arrangements of fabric that seem to dance and flow, echoing the fluidity and spontaneity of joy. The colors—vivid and harmonious—intertwine to form a vibrant symphony, representing the myriad experiences that contribute to our inner well-being.
"JOY WITHIN" invites viewers to look beyond the surface and delve into the deeper layers of their own emotions. It’s a celebration of the inner landscape where joy resides, a reminder that true contentment is found not in external circumstances but within the heart and mind. Through this tactile and visually engaging work, The Artist encourages us to connect with our sources of happiness and to recognize the beauty and complexity of the joy that lies within us all.
-About Artist
Agwunwa Theophilus Chinonso was born in 1990, He hails from Ejeme Aniorgor, Aniocha South, Delta State, Nigeria. He graduated with a distinction from Auchi Polytechnic, Auchi in Edo State where he studied Arts and Industrial Design (Painting). His works are an exploration of numerous waste materials most especially fabric in the execution of his paintings. He doesn’t simply conceptualize daily activities and human state of mind in his paintings, he transforms waste materials into wealth (beautiful works of art).
At his tender age, he discovered his gift as an artist, both visual and performing art drawing almost everything he sees around his environment and practicing musical instruments as well.
Artist Statement
As a Nigerian-based artist, I see my art as a form of up-cycling because I transform Ankara fabrics (African prints) both old and new into beautiful paintings that portray daily activities, love, and a human state of mind. The use of colorful Ankara materials with lovely motifs and patterns characterizes my unique style.
Ankara fabric was chosen as my primary medium of expression because of the lovely patterns on it and how it captures the essence of my work. The use of vibrant colors of fabrics in my painting depicts hope as it tends to encourage the viewers to stay focused and that there is always light at the end of the tunnel.
