Offoedu-Okeke, Artists of Nigeria, (Milan, 2012), version illustrated p.57.Anyanwu is one of the artist's most accomplished and recognizable works. The word Anyanwu ('eye of the sun'), refers to the Igbo practice of saluting the rising sun in honour of Chukwu, the Great Spirit. The female figure is the powerful Igbo earth goddess Ani. For Enwonwu, the sculpture was a way of expressing his hopes for a nation on its way towards independence:'My aim was to symbolise our rising nation. I have tried to combine material, crafts, and traditions, to express a conception that is based on womanhood – woman, the mother and nourisher of man. In our rising nation, I see the forces embodied in womanhood; the beginning, and then, the development and flowering into the fullest stature of a nation – a people! This sculpture is spiritual in conception, rhythmical in movement, and three dimensional in its architectural setting – these qualities are characteristic of the sculpture of my ancestors.'Enwonwu's depiction of the goddess, with her elongated body and stylised head, demonstrates his appreciation for Igbo artistic traditions, drawing on ancient wood carvings and Edo Queen Mother portraits. Enwonwu's father was a spiritual man, and had frequently carved images for the shrines at Onitsha. Memories of these shrines left an indelible mark on the young Benedict, and shaped his view that art and religion were inextricably linked. In Igbo tradition, sculptors were viewed as intermediaries between the human and spirit world. They worked in a trance-like state, inspired by intense surges of mental energy.Enwonwu later claimed that he had entered such a state when he created Anyanwu. The sculpture's form came to him in a vision early one morning as he hovered between dreaming and wakefulness:'A supple graceful female form arising out of the sun in a brilliant shower of light...she loomed towards him in a wide curvilinear arch...the classic Ethiopianized features of the face and the decorative horizontal slats of the lower torso that receded into the horizon, tapering off to a point...'The circumstances surrounding Anyanwu's creation – Enwonwu's spiritual inspiration – connects him with the Igbo tradition of the artist as spirit medium. Often referred to as the 'father of African modernism', Enwonwu was greatly concerned with form and stylistic experimentation. However, unlike his European contemporaries, he was not motivated by the principle of 'art for art's sake'. By engaging with the traditions of his ancestors, Enwonwu invests Anywanwu with a more complex social meaning.The first Anyanwu sculpture (1954-5), made for the National Museum, Lagos, received such acclaim that another was commissioned for the United Nations headquarters in New York (1966). This version appears in several major public and private collections, often demonstrating a variety of patina, and small differences in the arms and length of the 'chicken beak' coiffure.The current work was cast at the Burleighfeild foundry, High Wycombe, UK. They cast many bronze scluptures for the artist from their founding in 1977 until his death in 1994.BibliographyN.

Nicole Coson Untitled, 2021 Oil and Ink on Paper Signed verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) "Born in 1992 in Manila, Philippines, Filipino artist Nicole Coson has recently completed an MA in Painting from the Royal College of Art. She has been selected as part of Bloomberg New Contemporaries 2020. She currently lives and works in London, UK. I am interested in exploring the concepts of visibility and disappearance, with reference to camouflage and concealment in nature as well as in human applications as tactical countermeasures. I am in search of a productive position within invisibility that lends artists the opportunity in which we are able to negotiate the terms of our visibility. To vanish and reappear as we please and as necessary to our own personal and artistic objectives. My work operates between the anonymous and deeply personal, between a specific place in the Philippines and anywhere at all. I create works that seek to stretch and skew the viewers ability to detect cultural precursors as memories, identity and location blend into seamlessness constructing a space which is both familiar and alien, escapist and entrapping. I wish to create an imagined safe space to run away to, a place which stems from a point of personal history, a moment intricately and preciously encased in layers of fleeting apparitions and tropical childhood flashbacks. An instance I can step into, beyond the dimensions of the living, a place of perfect dislocation. I make works that function as architectural interventions of physical space piercing walls with flourishing green windows inviting the viewer to get lost in misty tropical landscapes and into the stage of a memory accessed countless times.
