Ude' lives
and works in New York.
Was born
in Lagos, Nigeria. He
is an artist, aesthete, writer, and publisher of New York based aRude
magazine.
After studing in Nigeria and United States, Ude' started his artistic
career, first as a painter, in the late 1980s. In the early 1990s, he

mass comunication, including magazines, video, film, and television.
