Ademola Adeshina

Presentation

Ademola Adeshina is a Nigerian artist originally trained as a textile designer in the famous Yaba College of Technology, Lagos. The huddle of finding his feet in the world of creativity with his mind full of unending ideas, and his unquenchable desire to explore these ideas make him delve into painting in different styles. He has been experimenting on how to strike a balance between abstraction and other forms of art, which over the years has produced the harvest of a particular style of painting that is now identified as being unique to him. He adopted pointillism, simplification and dematerialization of human forms, suffused with decorative patterns and symbols drawn across the global space. His work brims and bristles with rich and vibrant pastel-like palette with a unique allure that arrests the attention of aesthetes and invokes introspection. He has had several group and solo exhibitions within and outside Nigeria to his credit. His works are widely collected by private individuals and public organizations both home and abroad.
