Bukola showcased at Art3f Art Fair in Monaco 24th - 26th June 2022 with Capital Culture House
“Silent Voices” is an international art project curated by Bukola Dagiloke with the support of a number of galleries across the globe to raise awareness about the challenges of Black women and mental health in the UK and beyond, from the lens of an African experience.
One in four people in the UK is affected by a mental health problem. Rates of mental health problems can be higher for some ethnic minorities groups. Black people are four times more likely to be detained under the Mental Health Act.
Using my ability to express and address concepts around race, identity, nature and mental health, this exhibition series touches on topics from within my community that might otherwise have gone unsaid. An exhibition series to give hope and emphasize the power and miracle of art. Join me in raising awareness for this very important topic.
Bukola is participating in the Contemporary Art Curator Magazine online exhibition "Butterfly Effect".
The exhibition concept originated from Edward Lorenz's Chaos Theory, which explored the idea that no matter who you are, you can significantly impact the world.
Exhibition period: February 21 - July 21, 2022

Bukola is an emerging artist with a background in information design and graphic communication. Graduating from the University of the Arts in 2006, Bukola’s love for arts has been consistent and a slow burning talent has emerged. Recently she has launched herself into the international art world. Pen and ink are Bukola’s work tools. With simplicity and naturalness gets interesting results, which overlook the varied international art scene with originality, wonderful to the attentive viewer. A style in appearance cool, calligraphic, hides intent and messages of great strength. The artist touches on issues such as race, identity and nature, with an eye always attentive to sustainability and fashion.The result is given by patterns, that repeating, in some cases, equal to themselves on the sheet of paper, become almost a mantra, a repetition tending to infinity of a concept, which penetrates the visitor’s brain and leads him into a state of meditative trance.
This is the case of Fire in my soul, where the title guides the perception and success of the work itself. The use of pen and ink is one of the most ancient artistic techniques, dating back to the Middle Ages, thus assumes great contemporary connotations both for the themes treated and for expressive force. The monochrome, distinctive feature in all her works on display, allows to focus the attention of the viewer on a particular topic, concept or technique. Without color you can be freer in the experimentation of the sign and its symbolic meaning. Bukola chooses to make her works through the sole use of the outline that defines the images and creates them, leaving the interior spaces as white as the background. Black and white are the alpha and the omega of the chromatic scale. There are no nuances or middle ways, everything is clearly defined and without doubts: principle and end of the whole.
