Bidspirit auction | Fragments of Emotion – Original

Fragments of Emotion – Original Abstract Acrylic Painting by British-Nigerian Artist Chinwe - Fragments of Emotion (pink) is a vibrant, energetic abstract painting created in 2022 during a period when the artist turned to colour therapy as a form of grounding and emotional restoration. As with many works from this period, British-Nigerian contemporary artist Chinwe Russell painted intuitively, allowing colour, rhythm and spontaneous movement to lead the process without restriction.Set against a lively pink background, the canvas bursts with a swirling network of layered colours—deep reds, greens, oranges, blues, blacks, and whites—all dripped, poured and splashed in expressive gestures. The resulting composition is a dynamic tangle of lines and shapes that feels simultaneously chaotic and cohesive, echoing the emotional intensity and healing intention behind the work.Russell describes the process as a way of “bringing the fragments of the mind together”, and this painting reflects exactly that—an emotional release transformed into visual form. The layered textures and intersecting lines create a sense of movement, tension and eventual unity, making this artwork a powerful example of colour as therapy and abstraction as emotional expression.Perfect for collectors of expressive abstraction, African diaspora art, and contemporary works rooted in psychological depth and personal storytelling.
