Dotun Poopola a graduate of arts at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, is currently working on his latest sculpture .
The artist fuses pieces of a failed generator, recycled kitchen utensils and scrap metal for metal works.
The 35-year-old sculptor enjoys working with scrap metal. He says carving animals is his favourite way to use this medium.
Dotun often uses colour to give his pieces a shiny finish. His detailed sculptures – known for capturing movement and expression – often convey different messages.
