Editors' Note
Ghanaian artist, Idris Habib’s work offers a sense of culture and vibrant colors, a commonality among his paintings. His works often feature a pair of large eyes on a black, impressionistic face set against a dynamic background, a signature element that echoes his unique artistic voice. Habib uses images and colors to convey his moods and perspectives on the world. He frequently uses different variations of whites and blues to establish surreal notions of purity and safety, while using black to illuminate and unify his compositions.
