COSMOSIS
Tony Allen, Ben Okri, Skepta. “Cosmosis”, Decca Records France, 2021.
Ikechi, Ugonna. Cosmosis, 2022.
let’s talk about the science/art of how things break
things that were hard to make
things like peace, and love, and need
how the nations shake..
Hand-painted in 2022 on Procreate, “Cosmosis” is the introductory piece from Ugonna Ikechi’s third solo exhibition In Translation. This painting is inspired by the 2021 song of the same name by Tony Allen, Ben Okri & Skepta. The Artist invites the viewer to ponder the metaphysics embedded in the fabric of (our) existence. Pulling from the idea that humans are created in the image(s) of our creator(s), this piece speaks to the notion that we — being creators ourselves — also co-create life and existence as we know it in our image(s)... from the systems and devices that serve us, individually, collectively, and ecologically; they all bear our image(s), ideas, imprints, intentions, inspirations, insecurities, ideals, iconography and identities.
