sculpture and installation
“I explore the tension between physical presence and digital representation, examining the loss of embodied experience (spatial exploration, temporal duration, material resistance, bodily consequences) in tandem with the feelings of complicity and seduction that lead us to willingly trade physical presence for virtual convenience despite recognizing the cost.”
Adewole Louis was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario. He completed Art and Design Fundamentals at Centennial College and is currently studying at OCAD University, pursuing a BFA in Sculpture and Installation. His practice is based in sculpture, and his work focuses on the human relationship to materiality within the urban context. Most recently, his work has been featured in the group show “Subjugated” at Pokerstarzz in Toronto and "Tempered Bonds: Grain and Grit” at OCAD University.
