The romantic vignettes focus on subtle, mundane expressions of intimacy with a warm palette of deep toned blues, yellows and greens. Drawing from her British-Nigerian heritage, she uses a range of processes including assemblage, batik, Adire dyeing and impasto inspired by research into Yorubean art forms in Southwestern Nigeria. Olulode is heavily influenced by London\u2019s QTIPOC nightlife, as well as the acute absence of Blackness in the city\u2019s art galleries and institutions. Centring the Black queer femme in her multi-layered, textural works, Olulode\u2019s practice sits alongside prolific Black British artists like Lubaina Himid, Sonia Boyce and Chris Ofili.<\/p>\n<p><em>Laying in the Grass<\/em> is an edition of 25 hand-pulled, 7 layer screenprints on 300gsm Hahnemuhle Bright White paper \u2014 extensively hand-finished by the artist in pencil and oil pastel to make every work unique.&#8221; &#8211; Avant Arte<\/p>\n<p><em>[The copyright of the video above remains with the original holder and it is used here for the purpose of education, comparison and criticism only.]<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Related Link<\/h2>\n<p>Article: <a href=\"https:\/\/dateagle.art\/sola-olulode-interview\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Gender fluidity, daily romance and black bodies<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Video (1:46): Interview with painter Sola Olulode who is based in South London, UK.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":26469,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,1462],"tags":[1577],"class_list":["post-26468","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artist-talk","category-great-britain","tag-sola-olulode"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.femininemoments.dk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26468","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.femininemoments.dk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.femininemoments.dk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.femininemoments.dk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.femininemoments.dk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26468"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.femininemoments.dk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26468\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.femininemoments.dk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26469"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.femininemoments.dk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26468"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.femininemoments.dk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26468"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.femininemoments.dk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26468"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
