Bunmi Agusto | The Cave

16.05.-06.07.2025

In her solo exhibition Bunmi Agusto explores the tension between the prehistoric and the contemporary, using sleek modern materials to evoke ancient cave imagery. By intertwining primordial narratives with futuristic aesthetics, Agusto invites viewers into a space where the boundaries of time blur, and the eternal cycle of existence is reimagined through both ancient and modern lenses.

Bunmi Agusto was born in Lagos, Nigeria in 1999. She lives and works in London. Agusto holds an MFA from the Ruskin School of Art, an MA in History of Art & Archaeology from SOAS University and a BA in Fine Art from Central Saint Martins, for which she received distinctions in all three degrees. She was selected as one of the Bloomberg New Contemporaries in 2023 and she was awarded the Mansfield-Ruddock Prize in 2023, the Clarendon Scholarship in 2022 and the Cass Art Prize twice in 2019 and 2020.
