My work usually begins with the human form. By creating an abstract from inspired by hidden geometric patterns within the inner workings of the body I create a unique visual experience. Immersing this figure in an abstracted landscape of vegetation and water, and drawing from the rare but unique 'pink' sunset colour, I reimagine myself in a distant mythical island called Poseidon.

Nigeria
Doherty seeks to define a vocabulary in his work that unites his African heritage and scientific background; a socio-scientific synthesis, with the human body being at the centre-point of his practice. An indigene of Lagos, Nigeria, he earned his Bsc. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Virginia and is a self-taught artist. His artistic career began at the age of 21, in an attempt to approach his scientific inquiry of the world around him through artistic expression. Doherty has interpreted the human anatomy in his own ideology, increasing its dimensionality in abstraction in his paintings, while expanding his visual language to other forms of media that reference socio-economic issues, and scientific parallels in the highly dynamic cultural fabric of the contemporary world today. One of the foremost young artists practicing in Nigeria today, he is an ArthouseFoundation Fellow, and finalist for the inaugural Art X Prize in 2016. He has held past solo exhibitions in Red Door Gallery and Nike Art Gallery and participated in various group exhibitions in the United States and Lagos.
