Ken Nwadiogbu

Ken Nwadiogbu (b.1994, Lagos, Nigeria) is a self taught multidisciplinary artist, based in Lagos, Nigeria. A trained civil engineer, he soon pivoted to fine art, first embracing hyperrealism and charcoal drawing before expanding his creative horizon to more conceptual works and a wider array of techniques, including acrylic painting, sculpture and installation. His works are inspired by iconic American contemporary art figures such as J.M. Basquiat, Kehinde Wiley, Toyin Ojih Odutola and Kerry James Marshall
