Adeogun Babatunde J. is a Nigerian visual artist whose work explores themes of identity, autonomy, and social justice. Through portraiture and symbolic storytelling, Babatunde challenges the ways society objectifies, silences, and erases marginalized voices—especially women affected by issues like human trafficking, harassment, and cultural stereotyping.

His bold compositions blend realism with visual metaphors, using layered textures, street sign motifs, and assertive body language to reclaim space for narratives often pushed to the margins. Babatunde’s art is a form of visual resistance, turning everyday walls into platforms for visibility, respect, and dignity.

Based in Ibadan , Babatunde continues to exhibit works that provoke dialogue around consent, personal boundaries, and the fight against exploitation. His ongoing series, “The Body is Not Public Property,” is a powerful commentary on ownership of self and the reclamation of human stories.
