Born in 1991, Dipo holds a Bsc. in Mechanical engineering from the University of Virginia. He completed his master's degree in Integrated Design and Management from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His work centers around spatial geometry.
Artistic practice
Doherty's work seeks to define a vocabulary that unites his African heritage and scientific background, describing his practice as a socio-scientific synthesis with the human body at its centre. His paintings feature abstracted geometric figures that give expression to emotional, cultural and scientific energies, working across painting, mixed media and installation. His solo exhibitions include Intermission at Red Door Gallery, Lagos (2014); Coherence in Duality at Nike Art Gallery, Lagos (2015); Shards of Time at the Nigerian National Museum; and Finding Home at Rele Gallery, Los Angeles (June to July 2022). In 2019, Doherty received the Schnitzer Art Prize from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In 2023, he was selected as a Burning Man Honoraria Artist in Black Rock City, Nevada.
