The Renaissance (Remastered)

The Renaissance (remastered), a striking new collection by Lunick Uri that reimagines the artistic traditions of the early Renaissance through a distinctly African lens. This body of work challenges conventional art historical narratives by envisioning a world where African and European visual legacies evolved in tandem.

​

In this limited edition series, faceless figures emerge from fluid, textured brushstrokes, an abstract style that evokes the depth of traditional oil painting while disrupting formal boundaries. The result is a powerful visual dialogue that merges historical European compositions with contemporary expression, bridging cultures and eras.

​

More than a reclamation, this collection is a bold expansion, an invitation to collectors, curators, and cultural institutions to reconsider whose stories are elevated in the canon of art history. With each print, Lunick Uri contributes to a transformative movement, honoring the weight of the past while envisioning a more inclusive and representative future of art.
