Demola Ogunajo Area Art

kó is pleased to present a solo exhibition of Demola Ogunajo, titled Area Art. This body of work is influenced by the aesthetics of local sign posters and bumper stickers adorned on busses, motorcycles and motorways in Nigeria. Demola Ogunajo uses painting to explore the philosophical complexities of modern life. He is interested in the symbolism of objects in popular culture, often with spiritual, religious or political undertones. Adopting a graphic approach, he creates surreal narratives that allude to themes of transcendence, innocence and the dialectics of good and evil. Ogunajo pays special attention to the patterns, styles and trends of the urban environment, inserting a spectacular twist into our routine experiences.
