Chromatic Collapse

Vera Okonkwo · 2023

Medium

Oil on canvas

Dimensions

220 × 300 cm

Okonkwo's most ambitious canvas to date confronts the viewer with a violent collision of electric cobalt and neon orange — colours that should cancel each other out but instead create a visual frequency that seems to pulse. Painted in a single 14-hour session, the work documents an act of controlled destruction as much as creation.
