2023, Osinachi, "Shooting: The Fire". Digital.
About Shooting:
The Fire
“The piece is a reflection on the idea of "fire for fire", a concept that has led to wars across time between persons, communities and even countries. The soldier in the work is shown shooting a fire, an action that simply makes matters worse. The rooster is a symbol of the need for humanity's awakening to the fact that "fire for fire" does not bring about peace.”
- Osinachi
Osinachi made Shooting: The Fire in 2023, during his residency at the Toledo Museum of Art. Like other works he made during his time at the residency, he marks the title with a colon to show this period in his practice.
About Osinachi
Osinachi is a self-taught digital artist based in Lagos, Nigeria. Born in 1991, he grew up in Aba, a city in southern Nigeria where he took interest first in writing, and shortly after, visual art.
He makes his work on Microsoft Word, and has been doing so for over 15 years now. His work explores personal experiences within a technological environment, and touches on social issues like LGBTQ+ rights, equality, and conservation. It has been exhibited at renowned galleries like Kate Vass Galerie, Galerie Nagel Draxler, and Room57 Gallery, among others; and fairs like Art X Lagos, 1-54 and Art Basel, alongside collaborations with prestigious auction houses like Bonhams and Christie's.
In 2023, he was involved in MoMA’s “Postcard” project. Additionally, he completed a groundbreaking digital artist-in-residence program at the Toledo Museum of Art, further bridging the gap between traditional and digital art forms.
Digital + Physical Editions
Each collector of Osinachi’s Shooting: The Fire will have the exclusive opportunity to purchase a museum-quality print, measuring 20.3 x 27.5in. / 51.7 x 70cm, signed and numbered by the artist.
With only 50 prints available, one of which will be added to the MoA+L’s permanent collection, this limited release offers a rare and singular opportunity for collectors.
Each limited edition print can purchased via credit card or ETH.
