The work of Nigerian-American artist Osi Audu focuses on the dualism of form and void, the tangible and intangible. Using a variety of mediums, including acrylic, graphite, pastel and wool on canvas or paper, he examines scientific, philosophical and cultural concepts surrounding the relationship between mind and body. His compositions are often inspired by the abstract geometric possibilities he sees in African art and cultural objects and the concept of the head as a center of waking and dreaming consciousness.
“The construction of a sense of self is a very complex process,” Audu says. “Perhaps even more so as the world gets less exotic and is being experienced more as a sphere of commonalities, where boundaries between race, nationality, gender and sexuality are increasingly blurred.”
Audu is represented in the permanent collections of the Smithsonian National Museum of African Art, Washington D.C.; Newark Museum of Art, New Jersey; Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art, New Paltz, New York; Hood Museum, Dartmouth, New Hampshire; Mott-Warsh Collection, Flint, Michigan; Horniman Museum & Gardens, the Wellcome Trust, the British Museum and the Nigeria High Commission, London; the Embassy of Switzerland in Nigeria, Lagos; the National Gallery of Art, Lagos; SchmidtBank, Bayreuth, Germany; and the Microsoft Art Collection.
