Olanrewaju Tejuoso
| Olanrewaju Tejuoso is an Abeokuta, Nigeria based artist who uses wastes such as discarded sachet water bags, empty cans and packets of beverages and fast food wrappers for his sculptures and installations. |  |
He uses trashed materials to call attention to the imbalances being exerted by man’s domestic and industrial activities on the earth’s ecosystem.
Working with materials from his immediate environment and employing basic processes such as tying, folding, stitching, and gumming, his creative works show marked inventiveness and expressive force in the light of current debates and discourses on climate and environmental changes.

“I love what I do, financially rewarding or not. I dropped painting for exploration with wastes because I want to affect people more and I feel this kind of art will help me do that better and change my environmental degradation. There is something inside me which makes me believe God is pushing me to do it as my own contribution toward the well being of the society. I thought of rest and love. I want to give rest to people.” ~ Olanrewaju Tejuoso
