Awards and exhibitions
He was selected as one of the exhibitors at ART X Lagos 2017.[6][7][8] His works were part of the artworks donated at the Arthouse's Affordable Art Auction for charity in Lagos.[9] He was nominated for the Visual Art category at The Future Awards Africa 2019.[10][11][12]
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.[13] His paintings feature abstracted geometric figures that give expression to emotional, cultural and scientific energies, working across painting, mixed media and installation.[14]
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).[15]
In 2019, Doherty received the Schnitzer Art Prize from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.[16] In 2023, he was selected as a Burning Man Honoraria Artist in Black Rock City, Nevada.[17]
