Ifeanyi Anene (b. 1988, Lagos, Nigeria, based in Dallas, TX)

Ifeanyi Anene creates works that examines the unspoken realities in society and which may be described as a stylized medley of uplifting visual narratives, societal values and poetry in visual form. His vibrant symbolic paintings evoke feelings of sensuality, love, unity, hope, strife, societal values and harsh realities. Although he works predominantly in acrylic, oil, charcoal and pastel, Chronicles of a Nigerian Immigrant (2022), incorporates handcrafted garment design, performance, and photography in order to explore the experience of acclimating to life in the United States, and specifically Dallas.
