Obanubi Joseph is a Lagos-based visual Artist who employs multimedia to convey ideas. He studied graphic design at the University of Lagos, Nigeria where he obtained his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in 2015 and 2017 respectively.

With a background in advertising and graphic design, his works explore identity, fantasy, a mix of reality and delusion, confined within the context of globalization. He considers his work to be a visual bricolage – a (re)construct of different subjects taken from their original context into a new one with their preconceived meanings replaced with a new line of thought.

His approach is mostly surreal and Afro-futuristic, and provides an alternative way of seeing regular things. His goal is to give new insight into ways of seeing things, especially the ones in unusual places that lie around us.
