Bio

AG is an Illustrator and Graphic designer from Nigeria. Her quirky yet compelling pieces

demonstrate her ability to experiment with different materials and mediums. Regardless of

form and function a recurring theme is evident in her work, a strong sense of Africanism and

womanhood. She draws inspiration from her life and experiences, living and working as a

female artist in a cultural, political and religious diverse society. She especially likes to work

in the spur of the moment with any surface she is presented with, that is why she is never

without a pencil, a pen or a marker.

Work Process

My style is usually presented in exaggerated cartoon-like human form, sometimes

accompanied with hand drawn texts with bold colours and strong outlines. I have two ways I

approach my work. Sometimes I use these methods separately, other times they intertwine.

First, I approach my blank canvas with no preconceived idea of what I am going to do. I

choose at random the medium and I jump right in, putting my trust in my ability to create

without overthinking. The second is methodological. Research, form and style before

execution.
