Monilola Olayemi Ilupeju

Press release

The exhibition BloodLetter by Monilola Olayemi Ilupeju at PSM consists of 9 new paintings in oil on leather, as well as 4 works on canvas and Birch tree bark, and an accompanying collection of texts. In this new body of work, she references and alters source photographs pulled from personal and family archives, as well as found images, to process residual feelings and questions around ancestral belonging, homecomings and homegoings, memory, grief, and the beauty amidst it all. A text by José B. Segebre @juicyfilet will further enrich the exhibition.

On the occasion of Berlin Art Week @Ber, on Saturday September 14th at 7pm, Monilola will hold a reading of the texts conceived around the exhibition’s themes.
