Toyin Ojih Odutola (born 1985) is an American contemporary visual artist known for her vivid multimedia drawings and works on paper.
Ojih Odutola produces multimedia drawings that engage in the complexity and shape-ability of identity. Shown in her unique style of complex mark-making, her lavish compositions rethink the category and traditions of portraiture and storytelling.
Ojih Odutola is best known for her very detailed portrait drawings, entirely or primarily done in black pen ink. Her more recent work has expanded to include charcoal, pastel, and pencil. She credits her high school art teacher, Dana Bathurst, for introducing her to African American portraiture artists such as Jacob Lawrence, Elizabeth Catlett, Romare Bearden and Barkley L. Hendricks.
Ojih Odutola is represented by Jack Shainman Gallery, NYC
