Williams Chechet is a Nigerian visual artist, experiments with pop art, culture and afro-futurism, and is mainly interested in black identity and history reimagined in the past, present and the future.Chechet fully embraces contemporary culture, the digital future and his own sense of his cultural heritage His images are bold and engaging, often taken out of their original context through his creative process, and overlapped with colourful symbolism and accessories. In his most recent body of work the artist explores and intentionally incorporates the faces and characters of Northern Nigeria, it’s leaders, icons and historically and culturally significant images into his work as a project that enshrine them in popular memory and consciousness. His work also pays homage to the global pop art movement of the 1960s, with strong references to artists such as Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg and Jean Michel Basquiat.
