Kambui Olujimi

Kambui Olujimi is a visual artist who works in multiple media including sculpture, installation, photography, writing, video and performance. Olujimi’s work complicates and reconsiders established modes of thinking that have morphed into what commonly function as "inevitabilities." Approaching themes of erasure, collective memory and the ineffable from multiple angles of inquiry, his work is expressive and non-linear rather than didactic. With an idiosyncratic sensibility informed by scientific and sociological curiosity and inflected with wry humor, Olujimi mines the collective psyche as a source of social and political commentary and brings them out of the world of the implicit. Once given gravity, weight, and shape it becomes possible to reveal their incongruities and illusory nature.
