About

Grey Kayode is a Nigerian-born visual artist whose work blends cultural symbolism, social commentary, and striking color palettes to tell deeply personal yet universally resonant stories. Drawing from Yoruba heritage, African history, and contemporary life, Grey’s paintings often feature recurring motifs such as the “scribbled eyes” — a distinctive synecdoche that challenges viewers to look beyond the surface. Through bold imagery and layered narratives, Grey invites audiences into a dialogue about identity, freedom, and the complexities of the Black experience.
