Artist
Dolapo Ogunnusi
Dolapo Ogunusi, a radiant soul born beneath the warm embrace of the Lagosian sun on January 26, 1975, hails from the picturesque canvas of Sagamu in the Remo Local Government Area of Ogun State, Nigeria. His artistic journey embarked from the venerable halls of Auchi Polytechnic, nestled in the heart of Edo State, where the siren call of painting beckoned, and in 2002, he emerged as a graduate, a true maestro of the brush.
Within the cocoon of the Gallery of Modern Art, ensconced in the Aina Onabolu Art Complex at the National Theatre in Iganmu, Lagos, Dolapo discovered a sanctuary for his artistic spirit. Here, his paintings served as portals into a world where art melds seamlessly with society, a tapestry where he became the harbinger of truths through the strokes of his brush.
Yet, Dolapo Ogunusi's artistic prowess is not confined to the canvas; he is a polymath of the creative realm. With the deftness of a magician, he conjures the enchantment of photography and breathes life into musical instruments, orchestrating symphonies of creativity that resonate with the very essence of his artistry.
His journey, an ongoing lyrical poem, has been punctuated by a myriad of exhibitions and workshops. His art, a whisper of untold tales, has found its home in the silent corners of both public and private spaces, painting a vivid mosaic that transcends borders and spans the horizons of distant lands.
For those seeking to connect with this emotional alchemist, his email address, dolsony@yahoo.com, becomes a portal to the ethereal realm of his creativity. To embark on a visual pilgrimage through his universe, one need only seek him on Instagram, where Ogunnusidolapoart unfurls as a mesmerizing visual tapestry.
Dolapo Ogunusi's exhibitions are the living testament of his artistic voyage, each one a chapter in the grand narrative he weaves through every brushstroke, capturing the very essence of his era. From the hallowed halls of the National Museum to the intimate stages of Terra Culture's miniature shows, his art breathes life into diverse spaces. The pinnacle of recognition came in 2008 with the Ford Foundation Grant exhibition at Terra Culture. He danced through the corridors of time in "Through Time" and reached a crescendo with the "VASON @ MUSON Coming of Age" at MUSON Center in 2014.
Dolapo's artistic vision knows no boundaries, and his work transcends both the confines of time and the limitations of space. As he continues to create, his art remains a vessel, capturing the echoes of a society, painting the colors of life and truth, and whispering tales to the world.
