ARTIST OF THE WEEK
Artists possess a gift of distorting reality, to bring forward their own viewpoint on a canvas. Few let brushstrokes paint out their emotions; giving spectators a chance to experience art in the artist’s time. Meet Mafalda Vasconcelos. The exploration of her identity and emotions inspires this expressionist artist to favour these themes in her work.

ARTIST OF THE MONTH
Chinaza Agbor is an American/Nigerian artist based in London. As a painter and sculptor, she uses her work to navigate the constraints of the Black female identity through the prisms of a capitalist regime. She self describes her motivation as ‘the death of self-esteem’ into the process of learning to love oneself anew as a Black woman.
Her piece ‘Kindness and Hospitality from a Foreigner’ debuted last November at the Cob gallery which displayed Agbor’s distinctive use of abstract paint patterns and luminous skin tones. Agbor intertwines these efforts to create a canvas that depicts the complexities of Black female sexuality.
