Nigeria gained independence from the United Kingdom in 1960, and with it the country was in search of a new post-colonial identity. Ben Enwonwu became an advocate for a new Nigerian national culture and a pioneer of African modernism. By his passing in 1994, the artist was considered one of the most revered African artists of the 20th century. Enwonwu was born in 1917 in Onitsha, eastern Nigeria, to a mother who ran a textile business and a father who was a reputable sculptor, from whom the artist learned his early carving skills. By 1949, Enwonwu was declared by Time magazine as “Africa’s Greatest Artist.” Christine sits up tall and elegant with subtle emotion conveyed through her gentle smile and a sense of ease in her eyes. Her mesmeric frontal gaze, along with her torso positioned in an outward and angular manner is regal and dignified. The light takes on a luminescent character, forming a halo and giving an iridescent and angelic glow. Enwonwu’s loose brush strokes and vibrant oil captures Christine transient beauty. The portrayal of her long-neck, glowing bronze skin, curved lips and delicate smile are testament of the warmth and grace of the sitter. Her devotion and composure are conveyed in the portrait and is a testament of the trust and complicity between the artist and Christine. Christine was born in New York and moved to Ghana to reside with her stepfather in the 1920s before relocating to Lagos, Nigeria in 1969. In Lagos, Christine and her husband Elvis developed a close friendship with Enwonwu. She is depicted wearing a beautifully tied yellow gold headscarf called ‘gele’, which signifies her married status. Although Christine was not born in Lagos or Nigeria, her attire shows an affinity with the region and a deep respect for West African tradition.
