## About Oluwole Omofemi

Oluwole Omofemi is a Nigerian artist and curator based in Ibadan, Oyo State. Painting, particularly portraiture, is the clearest documented part of his practice in the collected sources. Public biographical coverage also connects his name with a commissioned portrait of Queen Elizabeth II and notes exhibitions in Nigeria and abroad, although the available source pack does not provide an institution-grade chronology of those exhibitions. No well-supported affiliation with a named art movement or school was found, so his work should not be assigned one without stronger documentation. Collectors may encounter Omofemi through paintings and other works offered at public auction: Appraisily currently matches 33 lots dated from 2020 through 2026. Because identity and biographical evidence remain limited, signatures, inscriptions, provenance, exhibition records, and direct comparison with documented works are especially useful when researching a possible Omofemi work.

## Common works and media

Painting and portraiture are the best-supported work types in the collected biographical material. Appraisily's auction taxonomy also places matched records within fine art and paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art and editions. Those additional labels are broad and have not been independently confirmed as major parts of Omofemi's practice. For appraisal, identify the object's exact medium, support, dimensions, date, signature or inscriptions, edition status, condition, and provenance before selecting comparable lots.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisal should begin with comparable public sales for works that align in medium, dimensions, date, subject, and condition. Appraisily's matched data currently contains 33 lots, of which 26 have recorded prices, but this is a market sample rather than a complete account of the artist's sales. Provenance, exhibition history, catalogue references, signatures, inscriptions, restoration, surface quality, and attribution confidence can all affect comparability. Edition information is also important when the object is a print or another multiple. Reported auction results should be normalized carefully because houses may treat buyer premiums and fees differently. Private sales, omitted records, and changes in attribution may not appear in the public dataset, so its figures should not be treated as automatic price predictions.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with matched auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Coverage may exclude private sales and incomplete public feeds.
