Chinaza Agbor

Chinaza Agbor (b.1998) is a Texan born painter currently studying at the Royal College of Art. Agbor uses figurative paintings as a way to study the white and male gaze, and how these concepts shape her reality. Agbor chooses to depict black people in a dream-like fashion and a common motif she uses within her works, are her vibrantly rendered subjects. She explores the beauty of blackness and the beauty of her subjects by pairing them with bright colours. By painting these figures, Agbor is exploring different societal challenges that affect black people and reflecting on her struggles as well.
