There is a resonance in what we overlook—a quiet vibration in the spaces between, in the fleeting, in the unnoticed. Echoes of the Unseen is an exploration of these lingering presences, a meditation on the ephemeral moments that shape our existence yet often dissolve before we can grasp them.
Chidube’s work is not about what is plainly visible but what lingers at the edges of perception—the shadow of a movement, the trace of a memory, the whisper of something felt but not fully understood. Through his evolving practicehe moves beyond precision and realism, embracing distortion as a way of revealing rather than obscuring. His transition from digital media to oil, watercolor, and acrylic parallels an inner shift—a letting go of control in favor of intuition, allowing forms to blur and dissolve, much like the fleeting impressions his work captures.
Drawn from his immediate environment, his compositions echo moments that exist just beyond awareness: the slant of light shifting across a wall, a figure passing in the periphery, the way absence can hold as much weight as presence. The softened edges, the fluidity of color, the quiet distortions—these are not flaws but invitations, urging us to look again, to listen, to feel.
In Echoes of the Unseen, Chidube does not paint what is, but what remains—what lingers in the mind long after the moment has passed. His works hum with memory, with presence, with the intangible. They are not just images but murmurs of what exists in the space between knowing and forgetting.
To enter this exhibition is to step into a world that does not demand attention but rewards it. It is an invitation to slow down, to attune to the quiet reverberations of the unseen, and to discover that even in absence, something still speaks.
