Osaji Chinedu George is a multidisciplinary artist from the Niger Delta, he explores mythology, memory, and the politics of belonging. In his debut solo exhibition, he draws from Igbo cosmology to examine familial narratives that stretch across generations.
Osaji’s practice spans visual art, design, and creative direction. He works with charcoal drawing, video art, collage, installation, and sonic activation to investigate the role mythology and archival research play in untangling the complex histories of indigenous communities. He is interested in how memory is perpetuated through collective and personal engagement – the songs of our mothers and stories of our fathers. With an artistic language rooted in deconstruction and surrealism, he navigates the intersections between personal and shared experiences, highlighting the ways they shape our understanding of our place in the world.
Osaji holds a B.A in Creative Arts from the University of Lagos and his work is held in esteemed collections around the globe. He was nominated for the MYMA Art Prize (2026) selected as a finalist for the ART X Resonance Prize (2025), and participated in the duo exhibition “Then I Remembered A Charm” at SOTO Gallery in 2025. His debut solo exhibition “An Endless River” opens on October 3 (till 30th) at Alliance Française de Lagos, Ikoyi.
Group exhibitions include “As We Are” (O’DA Art Gallery, 2026), “SKETCH” (Alliance Française de Lagos, 2025), “Between Fragments” (Yenwa Gallery, 2025), “Africa Foto Fair” (Cote d’Ivoire, 2024), “At Once, Then Again” (Rele Gallery, 2023), “ATO Connects” (Art Twenty One Gallery, 2020), and “Impart Art Fair” (Lasmara, 2019).
