The body of work attempts to broaden the discourse on the concept of defining “ugliness” as an opposite of beauty. It raises question on “what is the wrong body type?” and “why is it that to speak about beauty is to conclude on the character and ethics of an individual? why is beauty good and ugliness is bad? is ugliness not a constantly revised notion that is always relative to various historical periods in different cultures and times? who defines ugliness and beauty?

Nigeria

He holds a higher diploma degree in Fine Art from the School of Art, Design and Printing, Yaba College of Technology, Lagos. Uthman is a multi-disciplinary artist whose media include painting, graphics design, film, photography, sculpture and installation. His foremost concern is developing a new visual language that consciously rejects traditional form of depiction and begins to document the ongoing history and unfolding reality. His work currently focuses on the issues of identity, beauty, sexuality and cultural influences that inform technological change and social shifts in Africa. Uthman is also interested in politics of religion, cultural traditions and social differences, particularly within the context of Africa. Wahab is currently represented by Sapar Contemporary in New York City.
