Usman Paul Oyelaran
Self-taught woodcarving artist
- 🇳🇬 Port Harcourt, Rivers, Nigeria
- 2001 to 2014
- English, Hausa
I work mostly in woodcarving, sometimes calligraphy. My first show was in 2001 at Old Port Harcourt Studio, and nobody came except my family and one confused dog.
Most of my work is inspired by faces I pass in the street. I make terrible puns.
I'm proud of everyone I got to work with.
