WAHAB SAHEED

untitled
Born in Lagos (Nigeria) in 1998. Saheed received an HND (Higher National Diploma) in Fine Art from Yaba College of Technology in 2019. He paints portraits, and the models’ expressions are depicted powerfully with bold lines and clear color composition. As if the inner personalities of the models speak volumes, they are drawn with rich emotion. Saheed has held solo exhibitions at leading galleries in Tokyo, London, and Los Angeles, and participated in group exhibitions around the world in Stockholm, Madrid, etc. In 2023, his work was also introduced in a group exhibition (an exhibition curated from the collection of a renowned collector in the Philippines, Timothy Tan) at the Metropolitan Museum of Manila that features many artists of the African Diaspora.
