Jeremiah Onifadé is a Nigerian-American afro-surrealist artist who creates paintings, sculptures, videos, and performances that examine the relationships between the human mind, emotions, nerves, actions, and reactions within societies.

Drawing on personal narratives, art history, literature, and philosophy, he conceptualized ORBS & CODS, a derivative of Orobo and Stockfish from his Nigerian culture. He uses these figures floating in a multi-colored sanctuary as ideograms to explore a range of complex ideas surrounding social commentary, identity, migration, classism, emotions of black & brown people, and belief.

Through these figures, Onifadé also delves into the effects of pre and postcolonial politics as well as the socio-economic conditions of his upbringing in Nigeria, while mapping these experiences against his current cross-cultural life in America. His artistic process often incorporates various materials, such as acrylic, oil stick, oil pastel, polythene, Ijebu Garri, wood, and fabric. This unique combination allows him to create works that resonate on multiple levels, engaging with theories rich in double meanings and symbolism.
