Forty-seventh Samsara

Born in 1984, Yemi Awosile is a contemporary British artist whose sculptural installations and works on paper explore the themes of identity, memory and culture based on a minimalist and geometric aesthetic approach. The broader scope of her work bridges design and visual arts through social interventions. She has a degree in visual arts from Goldsmiths University and trained as a textile designer at the Royal College of Art and the Chelsea College of Art in London. Yemi Awosile is also a associate lecturer at Goldsmiths University of London.

Her work has been exhibited in several collective and solo exhibitions in Europe and the United States. Her recent projects include collaborations with the Tent Rotterdam art centre, the Tate Gallery and the British Council. Her research into materials can be seen in the collection of textiles at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and she was recently commissioned to create two permanent public artworks in London.
