3. Signature Beyond Art Gallery: Black Figures, Black Masks: Likeness and Beyond | Tobenna Okwuosa | A Solo Exhibition 

In this body of work created between 2017 and 2022, I have expanded the portrait series I started in 2016. The paintings have images of bold black youths and traditional African masks. The models are/were students at Niger Delta University, Wilberforce Island, Bayelsa, Nigeria where I teach. I photographed the students on campus. The images of African masks were taken mainly from my many copies of the African Arts Journal.
