Chioma at the pool, 2025

Chioma at the Pool is the first official screenprint by Odinakachi Okoroafor, produced in collaboration with TRIUM Art Gallery and painstakingly hand‑printed in a complex five‑colour process on 410 gsm Somerset TS RW paper - one of the most prestigious art papers in the world.

This edition derives from one of the most significant paintings in the artist’s career: a canvas that symbolises a transition into a new phase of his pictorial language - more open, unrestrained, expressive. For the first time, his figures no longer inhabit confined spaces but move within fields of colour alive with emotion and vitality.

Here, colour becomes narrative: hues intertwine like voices, weaving a luminous fabric that speaks of harmony, freedom, and the joy of living. The female figure, long central to Okoroafor’s visual language, is here immersed in an atmosphere of levity and celebration - an invitation to honour the simple act of being.

As the artist himself explains:

“This work represents a moment of happiness. It’s an invitation to enjoy life. In my language we say: ‘Just once we come to this world’ - we only come into this world once, and we must live it fully.”
