Chidy Wayne (Spain, 1981) is a Spanish-Guinean artist working primarily in painting and sculpture.
His practice addresses fundamental questions such as identity and inner conflict through a gestural, material-based figuration that incorporates oils, acrylics, textured surfaces, and sculptures in wood, iron or plaster.
Influenced by both the artistic avant-garde and ancestral cultural elements, Wayne revisits the primitive through a contemporary language, building a repertoire of signs with timeless resonance.
His work establishes a dialogue between the rational and the instinctive, where matter becomes language and the energy of gesture acquires a spiritual dimension. Each piece confronts the viewer with their own human condition.
Wayne’s body of work inhabits the space between the archaic and the contemporary, the intimate and the collective. From this position, he consolidates a practice that connects the force of the ancestral with the forms of the present.
