Nigerian Portraiture – New Works Available

Over the past decade, contemporary Nigerian portraiture has emerged as one of the most compelling movements in African art. A new generation of painters is using the human figure to reflect on identity, beauty, memory, and the shifting cultural landscape of modern Nigeria. In this online viewing room, we are pleased to showcase a curated selection of works by Israel Agboola Oladapo, Kingsley Obasi, Johnson Ocheja, Chinezim Moghalu, Akingbade Mayowa, Affen Segun, and Franklin Eze — artists who each bring a distinct visual language to portraiture, ranging from quiet introspection to expressive, colour-driven compositions.
