About
"Don't be afraid of life"
— O.G
Call Me Mike
Michael Taiwo is a London Based Artist and Poet whose work focuses on matters of gender, sexuality and race and the issues that arise when these elements come into contact.
Oceans Grove began as a simple school of thought "An abundant source, produces many types of outcomes". It has since then developed into concept and a persona that I create from, that is centred around genre-less modes of thinking and creating; through connecting different creative practices, in order to push the boundaries of what an artistic practice looks like.
