Written by Ade Olusola Kunmi

If you viewed the recent digital exhibition at madeke, featuring the works of Victor Isiguzo, you would have being treated to a captivating array of artwork that delved into the intricacies of human perception, history, and beauty. Among the standout pieces was Victor Isiguzo’s contribution, which showcased his adeptness at conveying complex themes through his skilled use of line, color, and symbolism.

One of the striking pieces from Isiguzo’s collection is “Adorned in Tizzy,” a digital work of art set against a plain colored background. This painting immediately draws the viewer’s attention with its portrayal of a woman adorned in traditional African beads. Isiguzo’s meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate lines that form the beaded circles adorning the woman’s head, flowing down to envelop her face. Through this imagery, Isiguzo masterfully explores the concept of beauty in imperfection, celebrating the unique qualities that make each individual distinct. The choice of a plain background serves to accentuate the central figure, allowing her presence to command the viewer’s gaze.

In “Two-Faced Chronicles,” Isiguzo continues his exploration of duality and perspective, this time against a solid black backdrop. The painting features two faces positioned side by side, each facing in opposite directions with closed eyes. This composition immediately prompts viewers to ponder the significance of this juxtaposition. Isiguzo challenges conventional notions of history and narrative, suggesting that reality is often multifaceted, with differing perspectives shaping our understanding of events. The somber atmosphere created by the dark background adds to the enigmatic nature of the piece, inviting viewers to contemplate the complexities of truth and perception.

Isiguzo’s use of line and color is a consistent highlight throughout his body of work, as he skillfully employs these elements to convey emotion and meaning. His ability to infuse symbolism into his art invites viewers to engage with the deeper layers of his work, prompting introspection and contemplation.

Overall, Victor Isiguzo’s contribution to the exhibition with Madeke is a testament to his talent as an artist and his capacity to provoke thought and dialogue through his creations. Through “Adorned in Tizzy” and “Two-Faced Chronicles,” Isiguzo took us on a journey of exploration, challenging us to reconsider our perceptions of beauty, truth, and history. His art serves as a poignant reminder of the complexity of the human experience and the importance of embracing diversity and multiple perspectives.
