Osi Audu - The Official Web Site



Welcome To The Official Web Site Of British And African Artist, Osi Audu
	Osi Audu is interested in the way in which we can 'breathe' life into objects with our imagination and how the shape and form of objects can therefore represent or contain our unconscious thoughts. His themes and techniques use ancient Yoruba philosophy and modern Western approaches, such as the idea that objects can contain, channel and transform natural forces. The work of Osi Audu explores African themes using new media to reflect his personal experiences in Nigeria, the USA and England. Osi Audu was born and brought up in Nigeria and studied at the University of Ife, Nigeria, where he was awarded a first class honours degree in Fine Art. He went on to the University of Georgia, USA, where he was awarded a Master of Fine Arts in Painting and Drawing. Audu was a lecturer at the University of Benin, Nigeria, before coming to England where he works as an artist and teacher. His work is in numerous Private and Public Collections including The National Museum of African Art, Smithsonian Institute, Washington DC, USA, The National Gallery, Lagos, Nigeria, the Addax and Oryx Group, Switzerland, The Schmidtbank, Bayreuth, Germany, The British Museum and The Horniman Museum, London.
