Known for his exploration of memory, cultural values and humans as embodiments of family and traditional teachings, Sidney Osioh is an artist whose work is highly contextual. His practice of using a part to represent the whole lends complexity and fluidity to his works, one that connects humans to their cultural and indigenous morals.
He began his artistic career by enrolling for his National Diploma at Ogwashi-Uku Polytechnic and thereafter proceeded to Auchi Polytechnic for his Higher National Diploma Degree. After his academic adventure, he had his internship under the tutelage of Mr. Mike Ikobi for an expose into stained glass exploration.
