Samuel Oladimeji

Undeclared Heritage

Altawhite

Illustrator

Lagos, Nigeria

Samuel Oladimeji, who works as Altawhite, is an illustrator based in Lagos, Nigeria. His drawings use only black line and white space, and they are built on scale. Seen from far above, tiny people with long shadows cross a field of flowing parallel lines towards a pool. A tiger drawn in nothing but its stripes sits over its own rippling reflection, while one small figure stands below, head bowed. The restraint is the point. The paper does as much work as the line. The wit lives in what is left out, and in what the viewer has to find.
