Kemi Onabule, Huntress, 2021

£500.00
Sold

Coloured pencil on paper, 29.5 x 21cm (unframed)

Kemi Onabule’s artistic practice – in her words – ‘aims to send the viewer to a time where we, as humans, are close to nature and engaged in a deeper understanding of our purpose as guardians of the world we live in.’ Her vibrant imagery is characterised by lush foliage which is often inhabited by figures inspired by Ancient Greek and Minoan sculpture.

This is one of a body of vividly coloured pencil drawings that explore humankind’s relationship to the natural world; in this case, the artist’s subject is depicted bathed in moonlight. The palette used contrasts with Kemi’s recent monotypes which have been printed using darker browns, purples and blacks. ‘My work on paper can be a more intimate and tactile way of engaging with my subject matter. Paper offers me a way of experimenting with different media, creating a variety of new styles and ideas away from my painting practice.’

Purchased works are usually despatched within three working days.
