Yakubu Garba Okonkwo
Sculpture and street art artist
- 🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria
- Lotus Pottery
- Since 2000
- English, Igbo
I work mostly in sculpture, sometimes street art. My first show was in 2000 at Lotus Pottery, and nobody came except my family and one confused dog.
Most of my work is inspired by folk tales I grew up with. I'm always reading two books at once.
More about Yakubu
If you've bought a piece of mine, thank you. It's on someone's wall and that still amazes me.
What gifts mean to Yakubu: I'd put a gift toward a kiln repair. It's been a long time coming.
