Biography
Chukwudubem Ukaigwe is a Nigerian born interdisciplinary artist based in Winnipeg, Canada who consciously uses a variety of mediums to relay a plurality of ideas.
Ukaigwe's present work is a deep dive into the discourse of semiotics and modes of perception with the use of specific mediums to create alternate and multiple realities that interact with each other in open dialogues, presenting the figure in specific and diverse scenarios and paying attention to contemporary fashion, gazes and composition. He consciously uses a variety of mediums to relay a plurality of ideas, weighing an occurrence, feeling, or idea on a scale and then creating a narrative in his own language.
Ukaigwe was the 2020 recipient of the Scott Leroux Fund for Media Arts Exploration and he is currently completing his BFA (Honours) degree at the University of Manitoba.
