Oladapo Israel Agboola

Israel Agboola Oladapo, has made significant strides in the contemporary art scene, despite being relatively new to professional art. His artistic journey, marked by an early fascination with drawing and a professional focus for the past three years, has been both fun and profound. Oladapo's work was prominently featured in the group exhibition "Voilà L’Afrique LA Edition" at Allouche Gallery in Los Angeles in 2022.

Oladapo's art is deeply personal and communicative, serving as a medium to give voice to the voiceless. He describes himself as a man of few words, using his art to tell stories, sharing prophecies, and communicating on a deeper level. "Art is a prophecy and the artist is a preacher," he states, emphasizing his belief in the powerful message behind his creations. His self-taught background and innate ability to play with colours and shapes have contributed to his unique style and approach.

Exhibiting exclusively in the United States, Oladapo's work has been showcased alongside artists like Jimbo Lateef and Oscar Quarshie Nelson. His dedication and evolving talent have earned him a notable ranking among contemporary artists, with significant progress in recent years.
