Jacked Kinesics

Onofua, Dennis

June 3 - 24 2022

'Jacked Kinesics' portrays an emotional gestural message, (gestures in emotions), with the subject of the male figure, which studies dealt chiefly with form and muscles, interacting them anatomically with colours and lines as the basic principles of drawing. Onofua's sensibility in his anatomical paintings reference him to gestural documentation of the human state of mind, He perceives a link between human moods with their facial expressions, body gestures, bodily expressions or posture. The represented muscular male figures are a gestural positioning that communicates their emotional Information or belief system. Most of the subject figures features Jacked and Hefty masculine appearances but with different emotional Information well depicted through their gestural dispositions. The idea behind this aesthetic visualization is to inform the society that, a book is not judged by its cover, content is not determined by the shape or size but by the volume it carries. The jacked ones are also sometimes not the stronger ones; the rich men also may not be rich in all things. The beauty of Life is not subjected to physical Appearances but how we can societally with meekness appeal to our inner insufficiency.
