I was dazzled by Adeleke’s art as soon as I laid eyes on it. His works are sublime; their finesse, their level of detail, their evocative power, you name it. Adeleke has permitted me to publish his work here, but I’d love to meet him to find out more about what drives him as an artist. In the meantime, I’ve read a few articles about him, out of curiosity, to get a clearer idea of his captivating world.

Adeleke’s themes are often social, focusing in particular on Nigerian society, the country from which he hails. These themes include class struggle, human relations, and the country’s infrastructure. Adeleke’s latest exhibition, entitled “Light Resolutions”, addressed, in part, the failure of the electricity sector and its impact on the daily lives of Nigerians, who regularly experience power cuts.

Through his art, Adeleke aims to invite the viewer to see beyond the images and to question how they can find solutions to the problems that affect them individually and collectively.

Adeleke, I hope to get to meet you to learn more from you. Until then, Until then, continue to amaze us with your work.
