Precious Okoyomon is a Nigerian-American artist, poet, and chef based in New York City. Their practice frequently bridges the gap between biological systems and artistic expression, utilizing living materials to create immersive environments that engage with themes of nature, identity, and memory.
Their work is characterized by the use of living forests and large-scale interactive sculptures, often developed in collaboration with botanical experts. These installations invite viewers to physically enter the work, fostering a multi-sensory experience that challenges traditional boundaries between the observer and the art object.
Okoyomon has gained significant institutional recognition, including selection for the 2026 Whitney Biennial and an invitation to launch the inaugural Courtyard Commission at MoMA PS1. Their work is also featured in the New Museum's 2026 exhibition, New Humans: Memories of the Future.
