bio

Kunbi Oshodi is a Black British Nigerian artist working primarily in oil. Self-taught, her practice draws from personal experience, cultural identity, and a long-standing relationship with art that has shifted over time.

​​

Her paintings centre the figure, surrounded by geometric shapes that move across the surface as outlines, partially filled forms, and blocks of colour. This evolving visual language reflects changing ways of seeing and feeling, using shifts in form and colour as a quiet metaphor for perspective, capturing moments that feel uncertain, somewhere in between, and hopeful.

​

Through this approach, her work explores identity as it is lived and experienced, shaped by culture, memory, and nostalgia. Colour and geometry play a central role in her compositions, influenced by Nigerian Ankara patterns and her mother’s sense of style, often set against minimal backgrounds.

Oshodi is also the founder of THE.CCART, an independent platform that spotlights contemporary artists and their work.
