Tunji Adeniyi Jones staring into the camera

Tunji Adeniyi-Jones2 collaborationsAdeniyi-Jones creates expressive paintings of fluid patterns, decadent palettes and rhythmic figuration. Being both British and Nigerian, he roots his practice in revealing the influence of African art forms on European art history. Techniques such as batik and monotype depict Yoruba rituals in recreations of traditional masks, scarifications, dances and deities. The artist’s figurative take on colour field abstraction is informed by canonical painters like Aaron Douglas and Ben Enwonwu, while classical African and Greek statues of royalty, athletes and gods have inspired Adeniyi-Jones to render his painted figures like sculptures. Adeniyi-Jones also draws from personal memory and the domestic spaces of his childhood. Poised, proud and agile, the figures allow ancestral, diasporic stories to unfold.
