A true millennial born in Nigeria in the year 2000, Chiderah Bosah's art investigates internal dialogues with the inner self through contemporary portraits that examine the human spirit. His art takes a deep dive into how humanity is revealed externally through powerful and captivating expressions.

With every piece, Bosah highlights key elements of composition in rich colour, while maintaining his unique brush stroke that promotes a sumptuous softness.

This technique is apparent in the face of all his subjects.
First exhibition with Christopher Moller Gallery - 2021.
