Meet the Artist
Alexis Osifo is a New York-based artist whose work is in constant conversation with memory. As an African American artist of Igbo Nigerian descent, her work explores the connections between her personal and familial history, and the collective memory throughout the African diaspora, creating real and imagined settings that bridge the diaspora back to the continent. She works primarily with acrylic paint, oil paint, and oil pastels. She is a self-taught artist, who continues to develop her practice through live painting and drawing classes at The Art Students League in New York City.
Alexis has been an artist-in-residence at Ke-nee-go-keshek Fine Arts Workshop and Everything Spills Studio. Her work has been featured in several group exhibitions in New York and Massachusetts.
Alongside her personal practice, Alexis serves as studio technician to New York artist and art educator, Konstance Patton. In this role, she assists on large-scale mural projects, facilitates open studios and workshops, and organizes the recurring "Anagram Art Salon" series that brings together artists and community members for intimate dialogue about art's role in society.
