Abstract
-
“Isi Mmuo,” created by Chinedu Chukwurah Francis, is a striking acrylic painting on canvas measuring 3 feet by 4 feet. The title “Isi Mmuo” translates to “Spirit Head” in Igbo, and the artwork depicts the faces of mysterious, enigmatic, beautiful, and fierce-looking masquerades. These masquerades, with their large, menacing faces, symbolize strength and power, representing the spiritual realm, ancestors, and the unknown in Igbo culture.
