Olusegun Tosin Kalejaye is a self-taught contemporary visual artist who works primarily with charcoal, acrylic and oil on canvases and archival paper. His work is ignited by his early childhood interest in drawing portraits. Kalejaye uses his art to convey his ideas and impressions about modern society and the everyday Black experience. His art genre, widely ingrained in storytelling, representation, identity and historical documentation, intends to incite emotion in viewers. It initiates mere social conversations to ultra-practical actions and liberates one's consciousness.
Kalejaye's work has been featured in a solo exhibition, Give Them Their Flowers, Context Art Miami, Christopher Moller Gallery, Miami (2021). His work was also featured in several group exhibitions, including Self-Addressed, Jeffrey Deitch Gallery, Los Angeles, USA (2021); Emergence, Christopher Moller Gallery, Cape Town (2021); The Art of Art, Modern Eden Gallery, San Francisco, USA (2021); POW!
