Tejuoso Olanrewaju

Tejuoso holds a BA degree in Fine Art Education from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. He is a multidisciplinary artist working with painting, performance and installation. His art projects are social and environmentally consciously engaged – his passion about the environment makes him produce artwork made of discarded and recycled waste materials.
Usually taking reference from his immediate environment, he looks for materials that allow him to wrap, weave, stitch and staple them – in a process he calls “Waste to Life” to create his work. Tejuoso is particularly interested in subjects related to critical global issues, such as climate change, drought, desertification, flora and fauna species extinctions, carbon emission, etc. His work has been exhibited in several museums, art galleries and biennials across the world and recently included in museum art collections of the Museum of Black Civilizations (Senegal) and in the Yemisi Shyllon Museum Pan-Atlantic University (Nigeria).
