Jeremiah Onifadé

(b. 1987, Kaduna, Nigeria) delves in the practice of creating works that examine the energies that humans dispense into their environment and the spaces around them, whether it’s positive or negative. His work includes questions posed to the relationship between human emotions, actions, reactions and societies within, through layered figurative compositions.

At thirteen, his environment circled around the happenings of a fatal religious crisis in Kaduna, Nigeria. It tore apart what had been a peaceful and beautiful city after both religious parties invaded and vandalized each other’s homes. His understanding of human energies and their effect on spaces was swiftly unveiled. With that, he pursued an interest in questioning the human “Identity”, “Mind” and “Belief”. Onifadé lives and works in Dallas, TX and will be presenting three large works from his Blue Dot series previously exhibited this past year in Dallas.
