Ben Osawe
Born in 1931 the sculptor Ben Osawe is thought to be one of Nigeria's most outstanding sculptors, like several of his Nigerian contemporaries, Osawe brought traditional Nigerian influences together with the formal language of European classical modernism. Loosely speaking his motifs tend to come from his African surroundings, whereas his style is more European.
