Ehinomen Okoeki | Creative of the Month | Pawners Paper


Ehinomen's style challenges the conventional human perception, offering a rather distorted view of a reality—imperfect in ordinary view, yet impervious to logical flaws. 

Ehinomen Okoeki is a Nigerian contemporary mixed media and collage artist whose style creatively blends graphic art and photography into compelling visual narratives, so distinct it eccentrically portrays a unique form of realism. During his academic years, he earned a BSc in Information Technology from Sikkim Manipal University India (Ghana Campus) in 2016. The following year, he interned at Victor Ehikhamenor’s studio as a studio assistant.

Ehinomen's style challenges the conventional human perception, offering a rather distorted view of a reality—imperfect in ordinary view, yet impervious to logical flaws. Each piece radiates distinctively in their exaggerated shapes, deliberate colour themes and mid-tones—creating a peculiarity of visual language that only its mastery could speak fluently.

The incorporation of traditional African patterns and motifs into his artworks, along with stylised images characterised by exaggerated bodily features and shapes, particularly facial proportions, pours a symbolic and aesthetic effect into his craft. His art creates a fusion of modern art with past aesthetics.

Ehinomen's works have frequently explored themes of identity, culture, modernity and human emotion. His art has been exhibited in events such as Reflections of Our Times and +234 Art Fair. He is also a resident of MADhouse's Reimagining Hope Residency.

Also reflecting on the early influences that shaped his art ideals, Ehinomen recalls the photographs and crafts at his parents’ home, as well as paintings by his uncle, all rich in heroic and mythical undertones.

“Those images shaped how I saw myself,” he says, “and led me to question how our thoughts and ways of life have been moulded by society, culture, and religion. My work is influenced by memories, nostalgia, and the ongoing political, social, and relational issues that deserve our attention.”
