Duke Asidere

Duke is a contemporary artist from Lagos city with a Masters degree from Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria. He has participated in various local and international exhibitions. Through visual metaphors, Duke comments on the everyday human drama that surrounds him. His artworks range from headless or limbless figures and faces of strangely hybrid beings to densely populated urban landscapes, accentuated with thick strokes of vivid color. Perhaps the most distinguishing characteristic of Asidere’s style is his simplicity of form and expressive line.
