Born in Lagos (Nigeria) in 1983, Madu began his career as a self-taught artist without formal art education. Utilizing a free and wide range of techniques such as collage and spray painting, symbolic iconography is woven in his strong figurative paintings that are drawn based on art history, African pop culture, and personal experience. He has collaborated with global brands such as DIESEL (2016) and Bombay Sapphire (2018). Apart from solo exhibitions held at the Didi Museum (Lagos, 2015), Terra Kulture (Lagos, 2016), DIESEL Flagship Store (Lagos, 2017), Bombay Sapphire (Lagos, 2018), and Fondazione Mudima di Milano (2022), Madu’s work has also exhibited at numerous galleries and other venues around the world.
