Olamide Ogunade Nigerian, b. 1996
Fusing bold colours and prints to convey a uniquely West African identity, Nigerian artist Olamide Ogunade Olisco uses the canvas to open discourses around individualism, beauty and race.
Ogunade Olisco's use of charcoal, juxtaposed by the vibrancy of the surrounding colour palette, lends an animated luminosity to the depiction of the human form. Ever-present is a delicate, sympathetic approach to the treatment of his subjects, imbuing them with a graceful elegance that is exceptionally emotive.
Olamide Ogunade Olisco (b. 1996, Ogun State, Nigeria) studied Fine Art at Yaba College of Technology in Lagos, Nigeria. He has exhibited in several group exhibitions in Lagos and Ogun state as well as internationally. Recent exhibitions include Temporary Generation, Suburbia Contemporary, Barcelona (2022); Voices for Love, PRIOR Art Space, Barcelona (2022); 40 under 40, WHATIFTHEWORLD, Cape Town (2021); Polychromatic, Daniel Raphael, London (2021); Frieze London, The Breeder, London (2021); Stop, listen!, CFHILL Gallery, Sweden (2021); Afrika First, Valerius Gallery, Luxembourg (2018).
