Tunji Adeniyi-Jones: Deep Dive at White Cube

Building his practice on Yoruba heritage and Black-American culture, as well as the Arts and Crafts movement and illuminated manuscripts, Tunji Adeniyi-Jones creates his own mythology and visual language.
New series of works emphasize important departure from anatomical accuracy and aim for more abstracted and androgynous representation of black bodies, giving them just enough substance and weight with the use of colour. Emerging from the dense ornamental floral backgrounds the figures have curiously ambiguous space orientation, which I think rhymes with the mixture of a mythological space they occurred from.
Don’t miss the cocktail reception and a special performance by @mosesboydexodus at the @whitecube party!
