George Egunjobi is a multidisciplinary visual artist whose practice is deeply rooted in Yoruba heritage and philosophy. Born and raised in Lagos and Oyo States, Nigeria, his early exposure to art came through the sacred masquerades, textiles, mural decorations, and oral traditions that surrounded him. Growing up in this vibrant cultural environment, he experienced art as an inseparable part of life, alive in Egungun festivals, in the hands of aso-oke weavers, and in the storytelling traditions that preserved community memory. These experiences shaped his lifelong understanding of art as a vessel for spirituality, history, and imagination.
Egunjobi studied Painting and Mural Decoration at Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State, where he refined his academic foundation while maintaining a personal exploration of indigenous art forms and philosophies. His creative path blends formal training with self guided learning from elders and traditional artisans, resulting in a practice that honors Yoruba symbology while embracing modern artistic experimentation.
From 2010 to 2015, he taught Culture and Creative Art in secondary schools across Nigeria, including Taraba, Osun, and Ogun States. His teaching promoted creativity and cultural appreciation among young learners, encouraging them to see art as both self-expression and preservation.
In 2016, Egunjobi became a full-time studio artist and Resident Artist at the June 12 Cultural Centre, Abeokuta. His works fuse modern urban aesthetics with ancient symbolic systems, layering paint and cloth fragments to create a hybrid visual language that bridges tradition and futurism. As he describes, his art “carries the pulse of the African, the echo of Yoruba traditions, and the optimism of a generation dreaming beyond borders.”
