We want to congratulate artist Nola Ayoola (@nolaayoola_) for being the newest artist in residency at the African Artists Foundation (@aaf_lagos) in Lagos!⁠ 🙌🏾 ⁠ Nola Ayoola is a multidisciplinary Nigerian artist that expresses a visual translation and language of her being. ⁠ ⁠ Ayoola uses portraiture and abstract compositions to encapsulate the philosophy that ‘you cannot understand what you cannot pull apart. Extracting from her Yoruba heritage alongside her beloved hometown Ogbomoso and its profound impact on her identity through storytelling, Ayoola pays tribute to an array of African textiles and traditional craftsmanship processes, from hand-dyed indigo to carved block printing and weaving. ⁠ ⁠ Nola Ayoola⁠ 6:30, 2022⁠ acrylic, ink, oil pastel, and watercolor on woven paper
