Olusegun Olorunfemi
is a classically trained artist from Ibadan, Nigeria
listed in “Who’s Who of Nigerian Art”
published by Smithsonian institute, Washington DC. He works in a variety of media
including sand painting, batik and linoleum block prints. Workshops and
residencies include examples of his work illustrating fables, stories and
festivals drawn from Yoruba and other Nigerian cultures. The creative process
involves free exchange and cross-cultural exploration in a structured studio
environment fostering collaboration.
Traditional Yoruba culture reflects a constant awareness of life as a sacred
presence in the world. Students and teachers explore stories and traditions
illustrated in Segun’s work and together develop a vocabulary of images for
inclusion in a class project. The creative process generates interaction and
consideration of cross-cultural concepts found in proverbs and daily life.
