Transistor
Size:36 x 28 in.
Charmaine Chanakira’s Transistor is a vibrant and dynamic composition that pulses with movement and energy. Measuring 32" x 24", this piece is a layered exploration of symbols, emotions, and coded narratives. A striking combination of bold white outlines, electrifying yellows, deep blues, and neon pinks creates a visually arresting contrast that commands attention. Abstract faces, fragmented shapes, and expressive brushstrokes interlock to form a rhythm that mirrors the static and noise of digital communication—perhaps a reference to the title Transistor, evoking themes of transmission, connection, and technological interference.
At the heart of the painting lies Chanakira’s signature use of hidden messages, where recurring symbols such as eyes, geometric forms, and cryptic markings suggest themes of perception, identity, and cultural dialogue. The piece is infused with a sense of playfulness and spontaneity, yet beneath the surface lies a deeper interrogation of the way we engage with the modern world.
As a Zimbabwean-born, London-based artist, Chanakira blends primitivism and contemporary influences to create work that reflects both her heritage and her lived experience. Using acrylic, oil pastels, and pen, she constructs bold, expressive narratives that oscillate between personal introspection and collective consciousness. Transistor is an open invitation to decode and engage.
