Agemo Francis was born in 1986, from Lagos, Nigeria. He graduated from Delta State University in 2008, where he majored in sculpting. Agemo is quoted as saying: “Art remains a strong contender of how we share out-thought and ideas throughout history. I reconstruct my artwork to discuss societal, political and cultural identities”. His grandfather was one of the dignitary Idol worshippers of his village. Agemo has therefore been raised surrounded by objects: statuettes, totems, mask e.t.c whose used by grandfather.these sources of inspirations, inserted thoroughly in his work and he also poses a look at the duality between tradition and contemporaneity.
