Sejiro Avoseh is a contemporary artist whose practice serves as a visual autobiography—an ongoing exploration of migration, identity, and self-invention. Born in Lagos and currently based in the United Kingdom, Avoseh navigates a complex terrain shaped by layered displacements. Having left a homeland marked by internal challenges to settle in a former colonial power, his experience of place is both geographic and psychological. This duality informs the emotional and conceptual depth of his work.

Working primarily in painting and collage, Avoseh constructs charged, fragmented compositions that reflect the disorientation and transformation inherent in the migratory experience. His figures—often distorted, layered, or reassembled—embody the shifting nature of memory, the impact of dislocation, and the search for belonging. His process is intuitive yet critical, blending personal narrative with broader socio-political commentary.

Avoseh holds a Master’s in Fine Art from the University for the Creative Arts, Canterbury, and a Higher National Diploma in Painting from Lagos State Polytechnic. His work has been exhibited internationally, including at Kravets Wehby Gallery (New York), Afikaris Gallery (Paris), Jupiter Contemporary (Miami), and FNB Art Joburg, among others.

Anchored in lived experience, Avoseh’s practice resists fixed identities, embracing instead the tension and fluidity that define contemporary existence. His work offers not just a record of movement, but a meditation on what it means to continually reconstruct the self in unfamiliar landscapes.
