Abdulrahman Adesola Yusuf (Arclight) (b. 1997) is a multidisciplinary artist blending digital and traditional techniques. A graduate of Yaba College of Technology (HND, Graphic Design, 2018), he draws inspiration from the High Renaissance, Baroque, and Rococo periods, infused with the bold vibrancy of Pop Art and Post- Internet Art. His work serves as a “visual soliloquy,” using dynamic colours and layered compositions to explore personal narratives, sociopolitical themes, and the cultural landscape of Lagos. Incorporating photography, digital tools, and at times, 3D software and augmented reality, he navigates the intersection of tradition and technology. In 2022, GAZELL.iO presented his solo exhibition, ORDER & LAGOS, a series of works reflecting his lived experiences in Lagos, balancing themes of hardship and resilience.
