BUKI KOSHONI & RAW UNFILTERED

Buki Koshoni is a London-based visual artist, filmmaker, and writer whose work explores the intersections of identity, aesthetics, and the human condition. His striking visual narratives challenge traditional representations, often employing a bold, contemporary aesthetic influenced by high-concept art and cinematic storytelling.

A self-taught visual artist and writer, Koshoni has developed a distinctive voice, gaining international attention for his award-winning works. His practice spans photography, film, and sound—each medium serving as a conduit for emotionally resonant storytelling.

His work has been exhibited at prominent venues such as the National Portrait Gallery in London, where he was shortlisted for the Taylor Wessing Portrait Prize. His photography has also been displayed internationally, including group shows across Europe and the United States. In 2015, he was honoured with the Gold Medal at the GoSee Awards. His solo exhibition at Canvas in London highlighted his unique approach to fine art photography, blending fashion, portraiture, and documentary styles.

In addition to his exhibition success, Koshoni has been widely recognised by the media, with features in publications such as The Sunday Times, Wall Street Journal, Elephant Magazine, Business Insider, and Creative Review. His work is held in several private collections and continues to earn him recognition as a leading voice in contemporary visual arts.

Raw Unfiltered serves as the parent company for several of Koshoni’s signature platforms, including Raw Art (an art studio ), Raw Film (A TV & Feature Film Development company), Raw Woman (a portrait magazine spotlighting inspirational women), and Raw Music (a creative music label for narrative-driven audio projects).

In sound, Koshoni writes, performs, and produces under his own name, blending spoken word with lo-fi production to create deeply personal, genre-blurring audio works. Drawing from his early love of hip-hop, jazz, and R&B interludes, his sound practice mirrors the emotional complexity and intimacy found in his visual work.

Koshoni is also an emerging voice in film and television, developing high-concept narratives that align with his artistic ethos. His projects—including the feature film Thicker Than Water and the upcoming documentary Why Men Fight—reflect a deep interest in human psychology, masculinity, and social dynamics.

With new exhibitions planned for London and international audiences, Buki Koshoni continues to push artistic boundaries. His emotionally charged, visually bold works shape and expand the discourse around modern identity, culture, and the power of image and sound.
