every connected fibre, a theory of everything

R.O.I Olou

R.O.I Olou, All right, Handmade paper pulp painting with abaca, flax, and hemp fibres, luster pigments, 12” x 15”.

Toronto-based artist R.O.I Olou’s practice spans drawing, painting, animation, and pulp painting, with each medium influencing and supporting the others within a broader, interdependent system. Guided by a personally adapted understanding of Systems Theory, Olou draws connections between daily life, pop culture, teaching, observation, and studio work, allowing chance and material behavior to shape outcomes. Every connected fibre, a theory of everything presents recent works that reflect this circulation of influence, showing a practice defined by accumulation, exchange, and continual overlap.
