Jadé Fadojutimi’s Vibrant, Swirling Landscapes
Born in London in 1993, Jadé Fadojutimi has rapidly become a vital voice in contemporary painting. She made history as the youngest artist to be acquired by the Tate and has since seen her vibrant, swirling landscapes enter major collections, from the Met in New York to the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. Her practice is physical and improvisational, building up dense layers of oil paint only to wipe them away, revealing hidden layers beneath.
Fadojutimi is often inspired by Japanese culture — fashion, music, anime and beyond — which led her to relocate her studio from London to Tokyo this autumn. “Our Inner Tide,” her third solo show with the Taka Ishii Gallery, is spread across the gallery’s Roppongi and Kyobashi spaces and features new large-scale paintings created in Japan. The Kyobashi location also debuts her first soundscape installation, “The Texture of Reality Has Begun to Shift.”
