About the Item

These faces are not portraits of specific people, but emotional records of a collective condition. They carry the weight of fear, disappointment, suppressed anger, endurance, and fragile hope, reflecting a nation where silence and observation have slowly replaced action. The weight of live realities weighs heavily, including empty promises, abuse of power, human rights violations, insecurities, and violence against peaceful voices done by the political class against the citizens of Nigeria. When fear turns citizens into observers, who then correct the system? This series is intended to ask viewers, especially those who share this reality, to confront what it means to live, hope, and exist within a country that demands endurance more than it offers protection. Shipping Procedure Ships in a well-protected tube from Nigeria This work is unique, not a print or other type of copy. Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity (Issued by the Gallery) About Artist Paschal Ugwu is a Nigerian artist born in 1996 in Orba, Enugu State. He is currently based in Abuja, where he creates his captivating artworks. Ugwu obtained his Bachelor's degree from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, and has since developed a unique style that showcases disjointed human images with dark skin tones, achieved through paint drippings. His figures possess one ear and exaggerated eyes, all rendered using acrylic on canvas as his preferred medium. Ugwu's work is a powerful expression of the human form and a thought-provoking commentary on the human experience. Paschal has been to numerous exhibitions in Nigeria. In 2021, he participated in Bootcamp, organized by Rele Art Foundation, under Rele Gallery, Nigeria. In 2020, a group exhibition "In Time Like This" was held by Orange Gallery in Calabar, Nigeria.“The Manifesto I and The Manifesto II, at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Library, University of Nigeria, Nsukka, 2020. "Dreams Alive 13", at the Marlima Basement in the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (2018). He participated in the exhibition "Life in My City Art Festival" at Thought Pyramid, Abuja, in 2018, and in 2017, in a "Walls and Patterns Painting Workshop" by Alliance Francais, Enugu State. He has also been featured in publications: "As Shoutout Miami", Los Angeles, 2022, "Artmatazz"; Art Magazine, Nigeria, 2020, and "Voyage Houston Magazine, New York, USA, in 2019.
