Ojo Ayotunde

 Ojo’s works explore the emotions and intensity of human relationships and experiences, drawing inspirations from intimate moments, the unspoken language of gestures as well as interior spaces. 

Primarily working within the medium of Painting, Ojo’s works capture the essence of these moments and experiences within his compositions, by representing himself or his subjects in a melancholic, tranquil solitude of lived spaces. Ojo views his paintings as self-portraits influenced by memory, the subconscious, encounters and exchange with people and his environment. 

His calm, introspective paintings are often stark, alienated and are usually of himself, family, and close friends. He employs the use of different materials like charcoal, pastel, oil and acrylic which he uses organically through his painting while embracing a muted colour palette allowing for subtle tones and delicate hues to create an atmosphere that embodies an introspective mood.
