Jebila Wolfe-Okongwu’s work questions issues of identity, appropriation, iconography and cultural stereotypes.

His graphic sensibility combines 1960s Op Art with Nigerian Igbo traditions. Also inspired by music, including the songs of Stevie Wonder and Nina Simone, much of Jebila’s imagery plays with the limited Western concepts of ethnic artistic expression and what the artist himself refers to as "the imposed exotic".
