Dividing her time between Lagos, Nigeria and Pennsylvania, Temitayo Ogunbiyi is a visual artist who creates work that considers and constructs contemporary channels of communication. She is currently working on a series of drawings that fuse hairstyles with botanical forms. The recipient of several grants, she was most recently awarded an artist research fellowship the Smithsonian where she will further develop an artist book featuring her works on paper and her public playgrounds, the first of which began in Lagos, Nigeria in 2018. Ogunbiyi’s work has been shown at the Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts, the Contemporary Center for the Arts Lagos, Tiwani Contemporary Gallery, the Perm Museum of Contemporary Art (Russia), and Berlin Art Projects. She recently took part in Strange Attractors, an artist book that was produced as part of the 10th Berlin Biennale.
