Tunji Adeniyi-Jones is a painter whose work is heavily steeped in West African aesthetics; his imagery is a dedication and an homage – a preservation of his Yoruban heritage that also questions idolatry from a distinctly diasporic perspective. He is further invested in presenting this history and personal reflection through an idiosyncratic and contemporized context as his stylized figures and flora adornments float in suspension through preternatural or ritualistic environments, replete with repeating patterns rendered in vibrant tones. Adeniyi-Jones’ androgynous lovers, masked deities, and regal animals dance across his foliated and seasonal spaces, singing to ceremony and mythology with reverie for the natural world.
