Adébayo Bolaji
Adébayo Bolaji is a multi-disciplinary artist living and working in London, England. At the centre of his practice is the dialogue of change and the focus of the individual within a connecting society whether that be anthropological, religious, historical or popular culture. The use of mixed media, vigorous and metaphorical language, is a crucial element in his work, helping to narrate a different story within each painting allowing for the viewer to take an active role in the works. Bolaji has exhibited internationally in London and Zurich, with artist residencies in New York and Margate, including an Artist Residency with Yinka Shonibare MBE Guest Projects.
In his own words “my work is responsive, meaning I’m concerned with what is happening to me, to us, now. No imposing, but listening. This in turn may speak to the past and spiritually think ahead, but now is what matters”.
