Jazz Resonance: Notes from the Thames


Olukayode (Kay) Ojo is a Nigerian-born Canadian artist whose work blends contemporary and traditional African influences into a bold, abstract expressionist style. The theme for this exhibition, now showing in the Gallery at RBC Place London, titled Jazz Resonance: Notes from the Thames is based on celebrating the City of London that was designated as the first UNESCO City of Music in 2023. Kay was invited as a guest artist to paint live at the event.
