Lola Edo

Lola Edo is a visual artist whose evocative works blend elements of memory, migration, and urban experience to explore questions of identity and belonging. Born in Lagos, Nigeria, and later relocating to the United States, Edo channels the contrasts and connections between these worlds into a distinctive visual language of layered textures, bold colors, and abstracted forms. With a background in both painting and mixed media installation, she interrogates cultural hybridity through recurring motifs such as maps, architectural silhouettes, and personal archives.

Lola’s art has been exhibited in group and solo shows across Africa, Europe, and North America, earning her recognition for her ability to weave personal narrative with broader social themes. Through her work, Edo invites viewers to reflect on the complexity and fluidity of home, memory, and the diasporic experience.
