Chuma Anagbado is a multidisciplinary artist known for his line work and storytelling that bridges traditional Igbo artistic expression with modern technological innovation.

Red Line

“Red Line speaks of survival, thresholds, and the regenerative power of creativity. For Anagbado, the red line is both a boundary and a bridge—marking the edge between danger and renewal, collapse and transformation. Each piece becomes a meditation on personal and collective endurance, translating moments of crisis into lines of possibility.

In these works, Anagbado draws deeply from the visual languages of Uli and Nsibidi—indigenous systems of aesthetics and communication that prioritize rhythm, gesture, and symbolic abstraction. Much like Wassily Kandinsky, whose spiritual abstraction sought to express inner emotion through color, line, and form, Anagbado treats the line as a living force: dynamic, intuitive, and transcendent. His digital vector drawings reinterpret Uli’s fluidity and Nsibidi’s codified symbols, situating them within a contemporary technological process. These are then laser-engraved onto luminous plexiglass—an industrial medium that captures both fragility and endurance, transparency and depth.”
