Original artwork by Franklin Nwabueze, 2017, Textiles on canvas, 8’ x 11’ Arguably Franklin Nwabueze’s greatest work to date, The Dawn of New Beginnings chronicles a time when the virgin earth in all its beauty and majesty remained pure, untouched and free from human interference. Rendered with the use of discarded African textiles and acrylic paints on canvas to give the work a multicolored tactile three dimensional appearance, the piece takes the viewer on a journey through time to reconnect with the earth at the dawn of new beginnings.
