Acrylic on Board Painting signed L. Chief

This painting by Chief features a simple and minimalist background comprised of small crosses and long, bamboos-like tubes eschewing conventional styles and using folk art, graffiti, and visionary elements to create an expressive aesthetic.In the centre is a bright pink female body celebrated as always in all other works of Chief- its luscious overflow and the exaggeratedly traced curves from the shoulders to the chest through the buttocks are particularly visible.But is it really a woman or a female-looking deity? Let's look at her face: her angel wings protrude from her ears - framing a central eye - possibly referencing the eye of Horus, the Cyclops, or Norse mythology. In The Norse pantheon, the chief God Odin was renowned for his wisdom and intelligence. He is said to have sacrificed an eye in order to gain insight into the mysteries of existence, making him even more powerful and wise.Chief does not only tell stories but gives us some clues: directions, shapes, characters, colour
