Samson Olatubosun
Nigerian, b. 2000
Samson Olatubosun is a visual artist born and brought up in Nigeria. He works with the use of Oil paint, Acrylic, and Old photo (collages) on canvas. His paintings are a portrayal of optimism, his subjects are representational to the fact that we are all Sojourners trying to get something out of a life filled with uncertainties, adversities, and as well positivity.
The use of old photos in his works is evident in his upbringing of being raised by Aged parents, Old photos (photographed as far back as the 1960s) hung on the walls of the sitting room and other old household gadgets are what he grew up accustomed to. The Old photo plays a significant role in connecting us (him) to the past, also to people, places, and feelings giving him a feeling of being an active part of the occurrence despite not being there when those moments were created and captured.
