Babajide Olatunji (born October 8, 1989) is a self-taught contemporary, expressionist Nigerian artist.[1] He is mostly known for his Tribal Mark Series, which are a hyperrealistic series of portraits with facially scarified characters. His works are often markers of Yoruba cultural significance and socio-cultural discourse.[2] He specializes in hyperrealism and trompe-l'œil art forms.
He has been exhibited in the UK,[3] USA, UAE and Hong Kong.[4] His works have also been acquired privately by collectors such as the Mott-Warsh Collection in Michigan.[5] In 2017, Babajide Olatunji was one of the youngest artists that participated in the Royal Academy of Arts Exhibition in London, UK.[6] His works exhibit a deep commitment toward Yoruba history, and culture, which he researches extensively alongside other concepts of significant cultural relevance. He lives and works in Nigeria.[7]
