Artwork Description:
Size:28 x 36 in.
This original painting titled "An Original Chanakira" by Charmaine Chanakira, measuring 24" x 32" inches, is a vivid and expressive narrative artwork that responds to Charmaine’s experiences as a black woman born in Zimbabwe and now living in London. Through a dynamic interplay of acrylic paint, oil pastels, and pen, she explores personal stories as well as broader themes of social justice, politics, and contemporary culture.
Drawing on elements of primitivism and symbolism, Charmaine creates an intense encounter with colour, texture, and form. The painting features bold shapes and outlines with vibrant blocks of colour, representing her emotional reactions to both the inner and outer worlds. Her compositions often evoke hidden messages, secret codes, or inscriptions that challenge the viewer to uncover the deeper meaning within the layers of her work. These cryptic elements add a layer of mystery and intrigue to the already complex visual narrative.
Some pieces, like "An Original Chanakira," use exuberant tangles of shapes and colour to represent the artist’s emotions, reflecting what is happening both in her mind and heart. The result is a striking, expressive piece that mirrors the viewer’s own characteristics—ranging from wildness and spontaneity to contemplation and vulnerability.
Though Charmaine Chanakira is known to be more reserved in person, her art commands attention and speaks powerfully to the themes and subjects she cares about. She says she paints "big and bright" to express her truth and make her voice heard, offering a bold and authentic representation of her inner world.
