Usman Gbenga Nwosu

Calligraphy artist in Ibadan

  • 🇳🇬 Ibadan, Oyo, Nigeria
  • Old Sunrise Pottery
  • Since 1994
  • English, Yoruba
I work mostly in calligraphy, sometimes glass art. My first show was in 1994 at Old Sunrise Pottery, and nobody came except my family and one confused dog. Most of my work is inspired by my grandmother's kitchen. I paint watercolors of whatever is outside the window.
