The fluid boundary between body and text in the work of Idowu Oluwaseun

The fluid boundary between body and text in the work of Idowu Oluwaseun

On entering Poetic Culture, the new exhibition featuring work by Idowu Oluwaseun at GNYP Gallery, the viewer is immediately overwhelmed by a visual intensity that feels more like a physical experience than a purely intellectual encounter. The work on display is not just paintings or images, but spaces where the language of the body, the texture of stories and the poetry of culture blend into a vibrant whole. It’s no accident that Oluwaseun, an artist born in Lagos, creates such layered work, as his art is deeply rooted in the hybrid space between individual and collective memory, between the physical body and invisible cultural narratives that shape it.
