The themes and subjects behind the works are fixed in my mind, and to some extent that influences how the works are perceived. But I try to loosen the work up to permit a certain degree of self-interpretation. In this work the black void that seems to creep towards the centre of the painting is a metaphor for the moral corruption that occurred in Eden. It also owes it's significance in my life to the societal corruption that plagues Nigerian governmental institutions today.

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.
