About the Artist
Full name: Maduka Chigozirim Stanislaus Artist name: Stanislaus m.c
Maduka Stanislaus Chigozirim is an emerging multidisciplinary contemporary artist based in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria. Specializing in painting, sculpture, and mixed media, his artistic journey was ignited by a deep reverence for nature and a passion for creative expression.
His practice is distinguished by…
rich impasto textures, vivid color, and the strategic integration of reclaimed materials—including vintage vinyl records, industrial sawdust, and local newspapers. Through these tactile media, he bridges material history with contemporary form, exploring themes of resilience, African identity, wisdom, and the enduring spirit of African love.
Chigozirim constructs layered visual narratives across signature series such as Discape, Whispers of Nature, Newscape, and Focus, inviting audiences to engage with cultural memory and environmental dialogue.
His work continues to gain international and national recognition, having featured with The Holy Art Gallery in London and selected as a finalist for the 2026 Life in My City Art Festival (LIMCAF). Expanding his global footprint, he is set to exhibit in the upcoming Rhizoscape exhibition in London
Artist statement: My work weaves texture, history, and environment through reclaimed materials like vinyl discs, sawdust, and local newspapers. Across series like Discape, Whispers of Nature, Newscape, and Focus, I transform discarded elements into powerful visual narratives of resilience.
