Ogen Osiegbu – Nigeria<br />
Ogen Osiegbu is a self-taught artist from Delta State, Nigeria, but<br />
lives in the city of Lagos. His art is inspired by the Orogodo River,<br />
which is a source of livelihood to the people of Owa Kingdom,<br />
(Ogen’s ancestry home), in Delta State.<br />
In his own words Ogen says … “I call my art Orogodo Caricature as a<br />
homage to the only river (Orogodo river) and source of livelihood to<br />
my people in my village of Owa Kingdom, Delta State” ……. As for<br />
the Caricature, I believe if born into an earlier time, I would be a<br />
Benin bronze mask maker…. I infuse playful cartoons which I<br />
watched as a child growing up, to come up with my iteration of<br />
masks called the Orogodo Masks which is prevalent in my art”.<br />
Ogen Osiegbu<br />
Ogen’s love for the Benin masks comes from his ancestral link to the<br />
Benin tribe through his grandmother who is partly from Edo State,<br />
the home of the Benin people.
