Artist Biography
LH Olanrewaju is a Lagos based contemporary visual artist whose practice explores themes of identity, vulnerability, memory, and human connection through the recurring figure of KEGS.
His fascination with colour began in childhood through poster paints and coloured pencils, eventually developing into a dedicated painting practice in 2015. He later studied Painting at Yaba College of Technology, graduating with a Higher National Diploma in Painting in 2024.
Working primarily in oil and acrylic, Olanrewaju creates paintings that merge symbolism with narrative, transforming ordinary forms into visual metaphors that reflect both personal and collective experiences. Through KEGS, he investigates the tension between concealment and revelation, inviting viewers to reflect on the emotional landscapes that often exist beneath outward appearances.
