Olanrewaju Tejuoso

Tejuoso holds a BA degree in Fine Art Education from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. He is a multidisciplinary artist working with painting, performance, and installation. His art projects are socially and environmentally conscious; his passion for the environment drives him to produce artwork made from discarded and recycled materials.

Usually taking reference from his immediate environment, he looks for materials that allow him to wrap, weave, stitch, and staple them in a process he calls “Waste to Life” to create his work. Tejuoso is particularly interested in subjects related to critical global issues such as climate change, drought, desertification, the extinction of flora and fauna species, and carbon emissions. His work has been exhibited in several museums, art galleries, and biennials across the world and was recently included in museum art collections at the Museum of Black Civilizations (Senegal) and the Yemisi Shyllon Museum Pan-Atlantic University (Nigeria).
