[Artist behind the Artwork] F***g Toss: “It is after my initiation to vectorial drawing that I wanted to be more interested in this medium. Being basically used in the field of graphic design, I appropriate this technique to create a symbiosis between art and technology. And by this choice, my intention is to show that African art can also be appreciated in this modern form.”

Williams Chechet fully embraces contemporary culture, the digital future, and his own sense of his cultural heritage and identity as a young African with pride in his work and is inspired to reimagine past, present, and future in confluence.

His images are bold and engaging, often taken out of their original context through his creative process, and overlapped with colorful symbolism and accessories. In his most recent body of work, the artist explores and intentionally incorporates the faces and characters of Northern Nigeria, it’s leaders, icons and historically and culturally significant images into his work as a project that enshrines them in popular memory and consciousness – images and figures that have shaped Nigeria’s political history.

Williams Chechet is interested in popular culture and the use of popular and historical images in conversation – images that circulate in our culture, focusing on symbols of Nigerian society through a pop-art lens. In his practice, he uses digital tools and manipulation to create new and unseen visual narratives by isolating photographs on a coloured flattened plane.

He experiments with pop-art, culture and futurism and is interested in themes around memory, identity and history reimagined in the past, present and future.

Born in Kaduna, northern Nigeria, Williams Chechet is a visual artist, futurist passionate about history and ways in which to creatively reimagine and interrogate it using popular contemporary visual cultures, digital tools, and art. His works have been exhibited throughout Nigeria, and published in many journals and books. Influenced by hip hop and graffiti, he has also created numerous mural paintings in Nigeria. He draws his inspiration from his region of origin, to which he paid tribute through his project “We Are The North“, a series of illustrations depicting its inhabitants, as well as well-known characters representative of the north. His style is a continuation of pop art and he cites the work of Eduardo Paolozzi, Roy Lichtenstein, Richard Hamilton, Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Takashi Murakami and Brian Donnelly as influences.

Journals that have been for a long time the most popular form of media in Cameroon also served as the tool to educate and inform people. The cuttings from magazines and posters included in some of them were in the 1990s and early 2000s the major forms of house decor. Their presence in the work of Bidias Romaric enables him to narrate the story and to represent the news that has been, and are still today, animating the society. He is using journals in both French and English to symbolize bilingualism of the people living in Cameroon and the diversity of the sources of information. Today, when printed journals are being replaced by digital editions, and social media, the printed paper appears as a link to the past, to the stories on which grown the “personalities”, that may have inspired them to become who they are. The narration is also based on the traditional and natural environment present in the prints and vegetal motifs, sometimes the images of the ancestral masks or traditional wardrobe. The clothes and journals also put on the spotlight the tension between the traditional and globalized worlds, that is experienced today in many countries. The ability of embracing their heritage, being able to live in respect of their values while facing the globalized society may be at the very core the “Jujuheads“ that can inspire others and show as many roads to empowerment as there are the human stories behind.
