About the artist
Aderemilekun “Oluuji” Olusoga is a self-taught Nigerian-born visual artist living in Canada. His multidisciplinary practice explores existential and sociocultural themes through the intersections of philosophy, science and spirituality. His work investigates identity, community, and the passage of time, using a visual language that combines vibrant colour palettes, figuration, semiotic symbolism and layering as form and metaphor.
Initially rooted in traditional media such as painting, drawing, and filmmaking, his work has evolved over the last two years to also engage with digital systems. His current practice incorporates artificial intelligence, analog video technologies, and interactive media to engage with questions around tradition, diaspora, and technology’s role in cultural evolution. His work invites viewers to reflect on contemporary identity and cultural transformation in an ever-changing world.
As an active member of Winnipeg’s artistic community and a member of the So Basically collective, Oluuji is committed to fostering dialogue and visibility for African and diasporic artists through collective work, workshops, and collaborative projects.
