"Art wasn't supposed to look nice; it was supposed to make you feel something". (Rainbow Rowell)

In the last decade, Bob-Nosa is one of the few artists working in Nigeria who has remained behind the barricade, constantly sticking flames in the face of authority, and irreverently responding with provocative works that speak truth to power. The sober tone expressed in most of Bob-Nosa’s works is a response to his traumatic experience of the death of his parents, combined with his indignation over social and widespread humanitarian crises. In addition to his continuous critique of the global political structure, the captivity of African immigrants and refugees traded in open market slavery in at the Libyan border, the endless atrocities carried out by Boko Haram terrorists as well as domestic violence, intensify a feeling of resignation and mourning in the works of Bob-Nosa.
