----------------------------------

Drawing from personal and observed experiences, as well as the influence of German artist Käthe Kollwitz, Onah's latest series of paintings reflects the complexities of the human condition amidst the backdrop of current global events.

Born in 1984 in London, Onah's journey is steeped in a blend of British and Nigerian influences, sparked by childhood encounters with comic book art. While he initially pursued other pathways, it wasn't until the age of 33 that Onah embraced paint as his chosen medium, dedicating himself to forging a unique visual language that captures the intricacies of human existence.

Onah's oeuvre encompasses figurative art, with a focus on portraiture and the human form. His inaugural series, "Born Astride the Grave" (2022), explored themes of life and mortality, while "Altered State" (2023) delved into post-impressionism and cubism, cultivating his own creative evolution and the ability to merge traditional and modern influences seamlessly.
