Ayobola Kekere-Ekun (b. 1993) is a visual artist. She was born in Lagos, Nigeria. Her B.A. and M.A. in Visual arts were received from the Department of Creative Arts, University of Lagos, where she majored in Graphic Design. She is currently pursuing a PhD in Art and Design at the University of Johannesburg, South Africa. Ayobola is also a Lecturer at the Department of Creative Arts, University of Lagos. Ayobola works predominantly with a technique known as quilling, in which strips of paper are individually shaped to create forms. She tends to quill with a variety of materials that respond well to the technique, including ribbon and strips of canvas. She constantly experiments with new ways of exploring materials and their capabilities. Ayobola views her use of the technique as a three-dimensional manifestation of lines, creating pockets of light and shadow. She views the intricacy of her work as a visual metaphor of the complexity of the subject matter she engages with. http://ayobolakekere-ekun.com/artists-profile/
