Soji Yoloye (b.1969, Nigeria) is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice explores the depth of human experience through a distinctly African lens. Working primarily across painting and mixed media, Yoloye's work fuses figuration and abstraction to capture the rhythm of everyday life, memory, and cultural identity.
Rooted in the visual languages of Yoruba traditions and modern African expressionism, his paintings are layered with movement and emotion, where bold lines, gestural strokes, and textured surfaces coexist in harmony. Each piece reflects a dialogue between past and present, the spiritual and the tangible, the individual and the collective.
Yoloye's compositions often evoke a sense of nostalgia and introspection, while celebrating resilience and communal identity. His use of charcoal, oil, and acrylic creates a tactile quality that draws the viewer into an immersive world of color and form. Through his work, he reimagines African narratives beyond stereotypes, presenting them as living, breathing testaments to creativity, heritage, and evolution.
