CHECHE EGBUNE HAROLD (CEO)

Egbune Harold has had countless art exhibitions and salon shows in Nigeria and across the globe. As a painter his canvas portrayed his dexterity and mastery of his tools but constrained the activism engendered in his gags. .

He believes in social engineering through cognitive interactions and oblique thinking as exemplified in some of his works. Egbune's heightened instinctiveness to the plight of the helpless and his organic response has seen him deploy the potency of art as an instrument of change.His inspiration remains the chinese philosopher who wrote that it is better to light a little candle than to curse the darkness.

Since his emigration to the United States of America in 2009, Egbune has reinvented himself as a global artist projecting the aesthetic essence of african art. Altruism played lesser part than pragmatism in the tangential trajectory of his long career. He is embarking on the synthesis and projection of a vibrant heritage exploring esoteric objects from sub-saharan africa. .He operates in a creative spectrum where visual interpretation undergoes a subjective fluidity that distillates the aesthetic essence from primordial fetishness. The arbitrary african proportions are dignified with an overriding consistency and the ambience reflects an unambiguous deployment of a unifying element judiciously distributed. Picasso drank from those hallowed fountains. Picasso's magnum opus, Les Demoiselles d' Avignon is a tip of the iceberg in the ocean of african art. Beyond the surface value of the ocean lies its untouched pearls.

In year 2019 as an artist whose creative energy is in constant flux, Egbune is currently exploring a process he calls  Visual grafting. This artform is at the nexus of horticultural hybridization and cinematic manipulations. The crux is the ;indestructible' management of two or more images in a predicable or programmable pattern. Some of his works tend to interrogate the impeccability of our perception. His lenticular approach to image propagation has metamorphose in arrays of creative permutations. Custom canvas is at the kernel of his current work. .The images have 32 separate canvases subjected to ones 'collagic' preferences. The angle and depth of the visual experiences deserves to be critically scrutinized since movies are testaments to the fact that our perceptions are not foolproof. Some of his work look like cubism but a little scrutiny shows an organized pattern. His art prioritizes thinking and aesthetics above the replication of natural visual perception. He seeks to propagate perception as a separate organic artistic element. And harness the power inherent therein.

Every year automobile firms strive to come out with a new vehicle design and Egbune believe it is incumbent on artists as repository of aesthetic knowledge to be at the cutting edge. Scientifically, everything we see around us is due to vibrations. His artform amplifies the phenomenon and synchronises the rhythm of nature with a correspondent visual chord. The colors, shape and sizes of the bars serve as an interface to modulate the mood and form of the painting. It could instill a three-dimensional feel to a subject matter in addition to the activation of every space. Egbune's art articulates the illusory nature of our perception in bars of aesthetic relief. His works enchants with a linear vibrancy and subtlety of colours betraying an exhilarating spirit in constant search for a visual algorithm.
