Niyi Adeogun is a Lagos-born, Halifax-based multidisciplinary artist, designer and engineer whose practice moves across contemporary art, sculpture, illustration, object design and interactive experiences.
Trained in Sustainable Design Engineering and self-taught across much of his creative practice, his work increasingly explores the intersection of art, design and engineering through objects, installations and responsive systems.
His projects often examine identity, perception, memory, perfectionism and the ways we are shaped by the expectations of others.
