Zara Medugu
Abuja, Nigeria
Zara Medugu, AKA Grim Hunny, is and Abuja-based artist who began creating art for public consumption in 2018. She believes that art is a vessel in which abstract emotions can be made tangible and universal. Her debut collection Floral Series was created following a great loss in her life and was her first venture into a more structured style of work. She creates singular pieces and collections. Most of her previous work was limited to canvas and paper with various mediums such as acrylic, gouache, ink and chalk pastel. Grim desired to create more immersive artwork which lead her to expand into animation, textiles prop creation, installations and crafts. Her 2019 installation for Abuja Art Week, Not Yours, Never Was, displayed all of these skills in an immersive replica of her current bedroom mixed in with dreamy ideals of youth.
