Kingsley Obasi was born in 1983 in Nigeria. Obasi is a native of Abia State, and trained at the School of Art and Design, Yaba College of Technology, Nigeria. He is a painter whose work captures the human activities and the inconsistent nature of mankind. He abandoned an education in mass communication,and directed his power,attention and creative ability into a full time career in art. With Kingsley, all the hidden and intrinsic qualities of a man discern from their facial composure particularly when you look into their eyes. Through their vocation lies moral, social and cultural context. His visual language and style of depiction speaks volume as he captures power, feeling, beauty, emotion and disquieting thoughts while focusing on social phenomena that significantly affects our behaviours, opinions and reality.
