ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The Abfillage technique, introduced by Prosper in 2022, involves the application of a newspaper or magazine collage as a background, onto which he paints expressive figures. The purpose of Abfillage, according to Prosper, is to preserve written stories and showcase their relationship to the painted figures. Using saturated colors, Prosper aims to mollify negative narratives in the background, highlighting the importance of preserving culture through creative expression. “Every element of these works is put together to describe the idea of Afrocentrism and pan-Africanism,” says Prosper. “I believe that to preserve culture, I must continue to create it.” Prosper’s works delve into themes of anxiety, depression, self-hate, and various mental and physical states prevalent in contemporary society. Born and raised in Nigeria, Prosper’s figurative and expressive paintings celebrate African identity while challenging stereotypes. His stylized figures, known for elongation and exaggeration, feature iconic afro hairstyles, symbolizing pride in African heritage
