Artist Profile

Ehigbai Michael Ozoya (b. 1987) is a Nigerian sculptor whose practice transforms wire and upcycled materials into dynamic three-dimensional forms. Inspired by his early fascination with drawing comic figures and professional wrestlers, Ozoya creates minimalist yet powerful sculptures that capture the energy and movement of the human body. Through intricate twisting and coiling techniques, he constructs skeletal structures that suggest mid-action gestures while maintaining a sense of lightness and weightlessness. His work combines technical precision with expressive movement, turning humble materials into striking explorations of form, balance, and motion.
