Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity (Issued by the Gallery) Planes of a Split Atom masterfully combines a precise assemblage of shapes and colors to evoke a sense of depth and perspective. Dominated by a stark, slate-gray background, the composition draws the viewer's eye immediately to a bold, dark blue rectangle anchoring the upper half of the canvas. This figure is strikingly adorned with two juxtaposed red circles with black centers that create a profound visual impact and suggest an almost sentient presence. Connecting this upper segment to the rest of the piece is a horizontal tan beam that intersects with the lower half, generating an intriguing interplay of angles. Below this beam, a dynamic collection of shapes unfolds, featuring a green triangular plane that emerges in the foreground. This plane appears to tilt forward, adding a striking three-dimensional illusion. To the left, a smaller red and blue rectangular form contrasts sharply against the uniformity of the background, while providing balance within the composition. The focus then transitions to the lower section, where blue, brown, and orange elements converge in a neatly layered pattern. The diagonal stripes of green and orange add vibrancy and further enhance the fluidity and momentum of the piece. Chinedu Chidebe's precise use of geometric forms and strategic color juxtapositions creates a harmonious yet striking visual narrative, inviting viewers to explore the interplay between form, color, and space. This artwork stands as a compelling example of abstract expression, meticulously balancing order and creativity. About Artist Chinedu Chidebe (1998) is a visual artist born and raised in Anambra, Nigeria. He studied fine and applied art at the University of Nigeria Nsukka (painting major) and has acquired other formal training which has contributed to developing his skills. He works with a variety of mediums and has continually drawn inspiration from his personal experiences. His works can be seen as an allegory where he takes inspiration from the idea of a virtual reality headset and uses it as a metaphor to explore the concept of living in one’s head and getting lost in that space which makes it difficult to accept what’s real; which is one of the problems we face in the modern world and is partly the reason why young people resort to drug use which is barely talked about. Artist Statement My work is an exploration of the intricate landscape of the human mind, seeking to bridge the physical and the metaphysical realms. These geometric forms and vibrant colors are not merely abstract shapes but representations of our thoughts, emotions, and memories, intertwined across time and space. I build these geometric shapes into abstract structures that connect the past, present, and future, where logic and emotions, reality and dreams coexist and interact. The repeated inclusion of eye-like shapes, which make the paintings resemble faces, serves as a metaphor for self-awareness and introspection. By exploring these themes, I aim to connect the tangible and intangible aspects of human existence, urging us to consider how our perceptions shape our reality and how our inner landscapes reflect the broader universe.
