Olu Amoda

Olu Amoda, The Wheatbaker, Lagos, Art Artist, Hotel

Olu Amoda (born 1959) has worked consistently over the past three decades to create a sculptural language that has unique character and beauty. Working as a sculptor, muralist, furniture designer, and multimedia artist, Amoda is best known for using repurposed materials found from the detritus of consumer culture. His works often incorporate rusty nails, metal plates, bolts, pipes, and rods, that are welded together to create figures, animals, flora and ambiguous forms.

Amoda uses these materials to explore sociopolitical issues relating to Nigerian culture today, from sex, politics, race and conflict to consumerism and economic distribution. More recently, Amoda has experimented with new materials and processes as he examines issues of privacy, surveillance, and voyeurism in the Nigerian urban environment.

Amoda graduated in sculpture from Auchi Polytechnic, Nigeria, and received a Master’s Degree in Fine Arts from Georgia Southern University, USA. Amoda has participated in exhibitions in the UK, USA, Switzerland, and his native Nigeria, among others. His works can found in many prestigious art collections including the Newark Museum and Fondation Blachère.
