Black and White Background Abstract Study – Original Acrylic Painting by British-Nigerian Artist - Black and White Background Abstract Study is a vibrant and emotionally charged original artwork by acclaimed British-Nigerian contemporary artist Chinwe Russell. Created in 2022, this expressive abstract painting emerged during a period when the artist embraced colour therapy as a method of healing and grounding. Working freely and intuitively, Russell allowed colour, movement, and instinctive gesture to guide the canvas—without rules, restrictions, or predetermined outcomes.The black-and-white underpainting provides a powerful structural contrast to the swirling ribbons of colour layered above it. Rich crimson, glowing yellow, deep violet, ocean-blue, and fresh green intertwine in spontaneous, looping strokes, giving the work an energetic rhythm and emotional depth. The dynamic overlays of line and colour create a sense of movement, fragmentation, and reconnection—echoing the artist’s belief that working with colour brings the fragments of the mind together.Bold, vibrant, and deeply personal, this original abstract painting makes a striking statement piece for collectors of expressive contemporary art, African diaspora art, and intuitive abstract expressionism.Perfect for home, office, or gallery settings, this work embodies both emotional release and artistic freedom.
