"Vibrate" is a piece that exudes fun and independence, bursting with vivid greens, oranges, yellows, and blues. I wanted to capture a sense of joy and playfulness, using these vibrant colors to spark happiness and radiate an energetic fire that awakens a sense of delight in the viewer. Creating this artwork was especially enjoyable for me. I approached it with a carefree attitude, which makes it stand out from the more intense focus I had on other pieces. My hope is that "Vibrate" helps viewers feel balanced and relaxed, enveloped in its spirited and uplifting atmosphere. For me, "Vibrate" is a reminder to bring a sense of carefree enjoyment into my work. It’s a constant reminder to embrace the lighter side of life.
Shyne Eghosa (b. 1975) is a Nigerian-born, self-taught artist whose work explores memory and identity through bold, textured compositions. Since beginning to paint in early 2023, he has developed a raw and expressive style rooted in Neo-Expressionism, Art Brut, and a Trans-Cultural approach where African heritage and European diasporic experience collide. Working primarily on wood panels with acrylics, oil sticks, pastels, and fabric, he draws inspiration from traditional African masks and crafts, as well as artists like Jean-Michel Basquiat, Paul Klee, and Manolo Valdés. Many viewers relate his work to Basquiat, though his palette and forms also reflect the modernist spirit of Barcelona, where he currently lives. His choice of wood as a primary surface is rooted in childhood memories grounding his practice in personal history and an approach that embraces the raw, unrefined nature of the materials themselves. He is the founder of Unmaking Art Studio, a nonprofit space in Barcelona where a diverse group of emerging artists come together to share ideas, create, and exhibit. For him, “unmaking” is not about destruction, it’s about stripping away what no longer fits and giving shape to something more honest. As he puts it: “My art is a conversation between cultures, history, and my personal journey. Each piece is a step forward in discovering who I am.” Though new to the art scene, Shyne's work was selected for the juried Biennale di Chianciano 2024 in Tuscany, Italy. He has also exhibited in various group shows in Barcelona, and currently has work with Tobian Art Gallery in Florence, Italy.
