Olawunmi Banjo (b. 1985) is a self-taught Nigerian visual artist who studied Entrepreneurship at the Pan African University in Lagos. Banjo began her artistic journey in hyper-realism with her characteristic attention to detail, and has evolved her painting style to explore more surrealistic landscapes in an attempt to re-orient typical mind-sets. In her recent body of work, Banjo paints expressive wire figures, which explore deep ideologies by portraying everyday social and individual realities which confront us. By keenly observing nature, works of art, and life situations fueled by personal experiences, Banjo’s art is a response to hidden realities which confront us individually and collectively across the globe.
