Yusuf Seidu Okus is a Nigerian artist. During his school days he exhibited his natural talent by drawing and painting on virtually available surface he came across, including making sand sculptures and papier Mache.
Yusuf studied fine art at International School, Sapele followed by National Diploma and Higher National Diploma from Auchi Polytechnic School of Arts and Design. He was crowned with a one-year National Youth Service Corps in Ministry of Works and Housing, Yobe State.
Yusuf proceeded to Togo after his NYSC program, establishing a joint studio at Maizon Chaclizo, Togo where he practiced and later, he established his own studio in Sapele.
Yusuf’s art is the most honest means of answering questions about his voyage on earth. He paints to express his emotions and experiences of life, as an intellectual vocation, a therapy, and a spiritual calling. His ability to continually search for new meaning of expression from different media and mediums has been a great propelling force over the years which has enabled his art to be metamorphosed into stylistic representation to semi or complete abstract expressions.
Sourcing, sorting, cleaning, giving form to discarded objects and making them have a life of their own is an avenue to nurturing the culture of creation, appreciation, and preservation of beauty in our world today, plagued by municipalities of environmental challenges of which creative artists must rise to the occasion to propagate for its redemption. Cutting, nailing, stitching, tying, gumming, embossing, painting etc. of various materials such as ropes, clothes, metal foil sheets, corks, wood shafts, pebbles etc. assembling them to create art pieces are all integral and thrilling part of his work process.
