Gerald Chukwuma studied Art at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. His art though reminiscent of El Anatsui’s famous panels is strongly individual. Chukwuma assembles used panels of various sizes found in his immediate environment to make one lyrical whole. His works can be found in several significant collections. One was presented as a state gift to the Uganda president by the late President Umaru Yar’Adua. Chukwuma was one of the finalists in the first National Art Competition held in 2008; and was first runner- up in the 2011 edition.
