Idowu Oluwaseun
Idowu Oluwaseun, is a Nigerian contemporary artist whose work predominantly features acrylic paint. His paintings incorporate elements of fabric, symbolism, and hyper-realism, capturing African identity, social commentary, and political critique, thus creating a powerful narrative around African culture and identity. Influenced by his background in fashion illustration and design, Oluwaseun’s work explores the intersection of cultural heritage and modern societal issues. His Faceless Minority series, depicting subjects with their faces obscured by symbolic fabrics, serves as a poignant metaphor for marginalised and unrecognised groups within society. Through his intricate use of fabric and realism, Oluwaseun’s work challenges viewers to reflect on the complexities of African identity and consciousness.
