About the Work
“This piece came out of a really heavy place. While working on it, I felt like it kept pulling something deeper out of me, something I didn’t even realize I was carrying. The more I worked, the more exhausted I became. At some point, I felt completely drained, almost like I had been run over internally. Instead of fighting that feeling, I let the surface carry it. The breaking, tearing, scratches, and exposed layers all became part of the process. Nothing was forced or planned. I just followed what the piece needed from me. For me, this work is about what pain leaves behind. The weight, the marks, the emotional scars, the parts of you that stay altered after going through something difficult. Looking at it now still makes me emotional, because this piece holds a moment I truly felt.”
Artist
Shyne Eghosa
View Profileb. 1975, Lagos, Nigeria
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.
