Donald Onuoha, born in Lagos in 1971, is a distinguished Nigerian artist celebrated for his mastery of Cubism and his distinctive painting style. He graduated with a Distinction in Painting from the Institute of Management Technology, Enugu, in 1999, and has since gained recognition for his ability to blend boldness with emotional depth. Onuoha's works, primarily created using roller brushes with oil and acrylic on canvas, are visually arresting and conceptually layered, resonating with both local and global audiences. Deeply influenced by Cubism, Onuoha's art explores complex themes of beauty, femininity, and identity. His compositions, though seemingly simple in form, are imbued with a profound sense of aesthetic and intellectual rigor. Each piece reflects a deep engagement with the human experience, presented through fragmented perspectives and geometric planes that challenge conventional notions of visual reality. Throughout his career, Onuoha has exhibited his work in numerous prestigious group exhibitions, both in Nigeria and internationally. Notable showcases include the World Bank Art Exhibition in New York, the Donald and Ayoola exhibition at Signature Gallery in Lagos, and the critically acclaimed Awaken the Dawn at Terra Kulture in Lagos. His works continue to evolve, offering new interpretations of identity, culture, and the female form, est.
