Abidemi Olowonira

Influenced by nature, structure, and the infinite possibilities of space, the Element Series, envisioned by artist Abidemi, investigates the sublime and spiritual by exploiting shapes and voids. In collaboration with Kyle Bunting, Element is uniquely and beautifully transformed using hide, a material of incredible depth, dimension, and tactile expression.

Drawn from nature, structure, and the quiet expanse of space, the Element Series—envisioned by emerging artist Abidemi Olowonira—explores the sublime and the spiritual through the interplay of form and void. 

Created during a summer residency at the Kyle Bunting studio, Sunday Best is a series of twelve one-of-a-kind artist proofs by Abidemi — sculptural works exploring spirituality and redemption through leather, hide, and found material.

The Element Series

Debuting in three subjective patterns, the Element Series showcases sporadically placed, angular shapes interlocked with one another through thin strips of hide.
