OLOTU OYERINDE's Artworks

Waterlogged, 2003

Olotu Oyerinde

A peaceful village scene unfolds over still waters, where stilted homes mirror the sky. The textured brushwork and muted palette evoke timeless simplicity, capturing the rhythm of daily life nestled between forest and mountain.

Peacock, 2003

Olotu Oyerinde

A striking grayscale portrait of a peacock, where texture replaces color to evoke elegance. Expressive brushwork animates the plumage, while the muted background amplifies the bird's regal silhouette. A bold reinterpretation of beauty through restraint.
