Chidy Wayne - In the Mirror - Creative Voyage 2023
In the Mirror is the first book to honor Chidy Wayne, whose practice spans painting, sculpture, illustration and music.
Photographs of Wayne’s work and world pair with texts from esteemed members of his community—the artist Donald “Drawbertson” Robertson, his gallerist Marie de Brouwer and the writer and activist Noor Ammar Lamarty—and an in-depth conversation with the C.V team. Together, they explore the universal themes of existence and identity so prevalent in his first three major series, Ego, Pugna and Pugnator. In the end, these pages come together to create more than the typical monograph. Wayne, after all, puts a mirror to his universe, providing an intimate look into his studio, processes and more broadly, the human experience and self-reflection that shapes it all.
