Ayobola Kekere-Ekun is a Nigerian artist whose work utilises the quilling technique to create depictions of her observations of womanhood, gender and society. I personally love her use of materials especially the Ankara material that is very popular and prevalent in African culture. They successful add a lot of colour and design into her works. 

I was first introduced to her work through a post in the discord in the artist discovery channel and she’s definitely on my list of artists to watch in 2022. 

Ayobola is currently participating in a group exhibition titled ‘Unity’ at Volery Gallery in Dubai.

I’ve attached pictures of some of her works but also some of the Ankara materials that I have myself at home. 

So nice to hear that you found her work through our Discord! If anyone else is curious, you can join the server through this link https://discord.gg/8fReZrWtAP
