Kip Omolade paints hyperrealistic, chrome-like faces in oil, their metallic surfaces floating deity-like against uninterrupted fields of vivid colour. The mask-like visages draw on the graffiti culture of 1980s and ’90s New York subways, where Omolade once tagged under the moniker ‘Kace.’ He presents them from shifting vantage points, sometimes with extravagant eyelashes, whether peering directly out or turned in regal profile.
