Samuel Olayombo - Canter Days. When gallop was the scroll
Samuel Olayombo's artistic practice delves into the intricate interplay between identity, culture, and masculinity. By challenging conventional gender constructs, he creates portraits bathed in a vibrant shade of pink. For his third solo exhibition at Zidoun-Bossuyt Gallery, Samuel Olayombo presents a powerful new series that traverses memory, cultural mythology, and intergenerational trauma through a striking visual language centered on the child astride a horse. Drawing on the charged iconography of Western cinema, West African histories, and Yoruba visual traditions, Olayombo reclaims the figure of the rider—not as colonizer, outlaw, or mythic cowboy, but as sovereign child, as storyteller, as bearer of forgotten legacies.
