Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity (Issued by the Gallery) About Artist Oluwaseun Solomon Akinlo is based in Lagos state, Nigeria, and hails from Ondo state.

As an experimental artist, Oluwaseun has developed a passion for abstract expressionism and figurative art. His oeuvre encompasses paintings, vitrines, and an array of works on canvas such as drawings, acrylic, collages, and altered photographs. Born out of investigative research and communication he conducts within his community, the end result is an emotional culmination of how their stories project on the emotional state of his mind shared as he listens to their voices. Oluwaseun’s expressionist style is a visual representation of the human psyche, memories, and emotions through a personal perspective on social, political, and cultural challenges, which confront the viewers with his evocative figures and use of colors. He was influenced by the community of Ajegunle where he grew up and influenced by their social, and cultural lifestyle.
