EMMANUEL ODUMADE – CALLED EMMA ODUMADE – WAS BORN IN 2000 IN LAGOS, NIGERIA, WHERE HE STILL LIVES AND WORKS.
His work centers around hyper-realistic drawings that interact with notions of identity and explore the social constructs of beauty and power. Born and raised in Lagos, Odumade’s art journey started at a very young age with drawing comics and cartoons and pasting collages on paper. Odumade lauds the pencil as a weapon for activism and a means for reconnecting with personal stories and experiences.
