I have worked consistently in Painting and Photography since graduating from the Arts Department of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. I was gallery manager at the African Foundation for the Arts, Lagos, and an Art teacher at Whitesands School, Lagos. I also worked briefly as an art writer for The Comet Newspapers, Lagos, and have written essays for several publications. My work focuses on the Black experience and encounters in Other spaces- with being the black male with all the connotations attached from a troubled history, the politics of being pushed to the periphery, of migrations.
