About the Artist:
Rahmon Olugunna is a name that resonates with vibrant colors and profound storytelling through the strokes of his brushes. Born in the culturally rich township of Osogbo, Nigeria, in 1975, Olugunna's artistic journey began in the heartland of Yoruba heritage—a place renowned for its traditional arts and the birthplace of contemporary art in Nigeria.
From the vivid hues of natural indigo that typify Osogbo's artistic tradition to the pulsating life of modern Nigeria, Olugunna's canvas is a celebration of his homeland's mythology and its present-day vibrancy. Under the discerning eye of the late Rufus Ogundele, an illustrious artist of the Osogbo School, Olugunna honed his craft starting in 1996. His medium of choice, oil on canvas and paper, serves as a window into a world where every color sings and every painting has a soul-stirring narrative.
Olugunna's abstract interpretations bridge the realms of the seen and unseen, drawing on Yoruban mythology to tell tales that transcend time and space. His work is an embodiment of healing and happiness, reflecting his belief in the power of art to evoke positive emotions and therapeutic experiences.
The international art community has embraced Olugunna's contributions with open arms, showcasing his work across the United States and Europe. His talent has been recognized with numerous accolades, including a prestigious award at the Chicago Gold Coast Art Fair in 2019, and he claimed the title of Best in Show at the Ann Arbor Michigan Art Festival, among others.
Through every brushstroke, Rahmon Olugunna commits to canvas his aspirations for a world filled with joy and wellness. His art is not just seen; it is felt—a colorful testament to a life devoted to the celebration of his Yoruban roots and the universal language of abstract art. Olugunna continues to paint, not just to create art, but to weave the very fabric of happiness and healing into the lives of those who encounter his work.
