Born in Ibadan in the state of Edo, Nigeria back in 1961, Edosa Ogiugo has fast become one of Nigeria’s (perhaps Africa’s) best painters. Obviously inspired by the work of Lucian Freud, Edosa recreates a loose version of the famous orientalist style using the tools at his disposal.

Slightly reminiscent of the work of Frederick Arthur Bridgeman, Ogiugo has a more slightly contemporary treatment of his subjects using a big brush and rough movements to create a sense of vibrancy, hustle and drama.
