Jadé Fadojutimi’s canvases burst with energetic brushstrokes, suggestive shapes, and a youthful color palette. Her works give viewers a veritable buffet of lines to follow and connections to make. “I believe my process is no more unique than I am,” said Fadojutimi. Her brand of gestural abstraction indeed draws attention to the singularity of her own mark-making.
Biography: Jadé Fadojutimi lives and works in London.
She earned a BA from The Slade School of Fine Art, London, in 2015 and an MA from the Royal College of Art, London, in 2017.

In her interrogation of identity, and how it informs and is informed by one's surroundings, Fadojutimi is fascinated by the ways in which we adorn ourselves with clothes and accessories in order to construct a sense of self. The shapes of patterned stockings and bows, as well as eclectic swatches of fabric, recur in many of her paintings. Outlines of objects that resonate with the artist but often elude the viewer also feature surreptitiously. The artist also reflects on the trauma of feeling displaced or alienated from one's surroundings. Many of her works depict mysterious landscapes which toe the line between figuration and abstraction, an attempt to create a form of reality which is parallel to but separate from the real world.
