ABOUT THE ARTIST
BÓLÁRINWÁ is a Nigerian born artist-based in Bristol. His work blends geometric forms, pop colours and motifs drawn from African spirituality and textiles, creating a dialogue between tradition and modernity.
Influenced by the energy of artists like Basquiat, the musical defiance of Fela Kuti and the streetwise commentary of Banksy, his paintings reflect both personal and political narratives.
