Studio IMO

Studio IMO — Expressive Figurative Painting

Studio IMO is the work of Ibi Meier-Oruitemeka, a self-taught painter based in Hastings who works in expressive acrylics. Drawing on her British Nigerian identity, she explores human connection and solitude in bold, emotionally direct compositions that give her figures real space on the canvas. The warmth and presence in her work make it a strong focal point for a living room, bedroom, or studio. Her style sits naturally beside our other figurative collections.

Studio IMO's figurative work has real presence, so give a piece room as a focal point in a living room, bedroom, or studio. The expressive palette holds up against neutral or darker walls, and a black or walnut frame underlines the boldness. 50×70 cm is a strong starting size, while 70×100 cm or A0 lets the figures command the wall.

Sizes, Frames, and Ordering

Choosing between paper and canvas comes down to finish. Fine art paper under glass gives a crisp, gallery feel and works with every frame colour, while canvas brings a softer, frame-optional surface with more texture. For most walls, 50×70 cm is the versatile middle size, A3 suits a desk or shelf, and 70×100 cm or A0 makes a clear focal point. If you are building a set, keep the sizes consistent for a cleaner grid.

Fine art paper prints come in A3, 50×70 cm, 70×100 cm, and A0, printed on 225g matte stock that holds clean edges and even tone. Canvas prints are available in 30×40 cm, 50×70 cm, and 70×100 cm on 400g cotton, stretched on wooden bars and ready to hang. Frames come in oak, black, and walnut brown, and canvas can be ordered with a floating frame for a gallery-style shadow gap.

Every order ships from our Berlin studio. We print, check, and pack in-house, with no outsourcing and no drop-shipping, so the print you receive was handled start to finish by the same small team.

Why Buy Art Prints From Kuriosis

We work directly with contemporary artists like Studio IMO and print everything ourselves, so the care of a small studio reaches every order. Explore more of her figurative work below.

Every print is made with archival pigment inks rated for over 100 years of colour stability, so the work keeps its tone for the long run. We keep the range deliberately focused on artists we believe in rather than a vast catalogue, which means each collection is curated rather than filler. If you have a question about sizing or framing before you order, our team in Berlin is easy to reach.
