Dennis Osadebe probes the boundary between wisdom and mystery.

In Search For Light places the artist's explorations of Nigerian culture in a contemporary context. Despite the mystery instilled by its subject's mask (inspired by traditional mask design in Nigeria), the image projects positivity with bright colours and a familiar library setting. Rows of books, suggesting knowledge, frame the masked sitter – relaxed and poised, with hands entwined and resting on an upholstered green chair. Osadebe’s graphic figures and settings emerge from his artistic process, in which he composes works digitally before transferring them to canvas with highly-pigmented acrylics.
