Born on March 4, 1990, AGBADU PETER is a distinguished artist based in Lagos, Nigeria. He is an alumnus of Auchi Polytechnic, where he earned an Ordinary National Diploma
(OND) in General Art in 2011 and a Higher National Diploma (HND) in Painting in 2014. Following his National Youth Service Scheme, he has dedicated himself to his craft as a
full-time studio artist since 2016. AGBADU PETER’s artistic practice is characterized by a dynamic fusion of palette knife
techniques and expressive scribble lines, allowing him to convey profound narratives
and emotions. Primarily working in oil and acrylic, he masterfully captures the essence
of “inspiring fleeting moments,” inviting viewers to engage with the transient beauty of life. His accolades include winning the prestigious 1st prize in the 2014 Delta State Most Gifted competition, hosting the acclaimed City View exhibition in 2016, and earning the title of 2nd runner-up in the 2018 Limca Freestyle and Culture competition. Exploring themes of nature, human identity, and the intricate interplay of energy and
vibrations, AGBADU PETER's work reflects his belief that “chaos leads to beauty, as
everything is constantly changing.” Currently, he is on a quest to reconnect with African
traditional and cultural practices, showcasing the diverse forms of traditional worship
and the vibrant energies of dance. In a world marked by constant change, AGBADU PETER draws inspiration from his environment, transforming everyday experiences into compelling subject matter. His impressionistic approach to color and form has garnered recognition, distinguishing his
work in a contemporary art landscape often dominated by abstraction. With numerous group exhibitions and art fairs across Nigeria, AGBADU PETER is establishing himself as a significant voice in contemporary art, resonating with audiences both locally and internationally. His innovative techniques and unique perspective promise to captivate and inspire viewers at any exhibition.
