For some, creative expression provides a shelter from the challenges of everyday life by translating difficulties into something we can be proud of. For British-Nigerian artist Sola Olulode, other than being a way of processing traumatic situations, creative expression is the “blank canvas” onto which to pour the joy that lies in ordinary moments of connection, intimacy and affection. Her celebratory approach to art, which sees her paint dreamlike, romantic scenes focusing on one shade of colour at a time, is particularly prominent in Burning, like the star that showed us to our love, Olulode’s newest solo show, which is on at Ed Cross, Clerkenwell, London, until September 16."
