British artist Jadé Fadojutimi is celebrated for her rich, sensory abstract practice. Driven by a love of colour, she draws inspiration from fashion, anime and childhood memories, as well as the work of artists such as Amy Sillman and Phoebe Unwin. Fadojutimi views art-making as a deeply personal act, requiring a state of heightened sensory awareness. Often working late at night, she surrounds herself with visual stimuli, paying close attention to her feelings, memories and impulses. Organic forms and gestures begin to arise, evolving across the canvas like characters.
Fadojutimi studied at the Slade School of Fine Art and the Royal College of Art. Over the last five years she has taken her place at the forefront of her generation. In 2021 she became the youngest artist to have a work acquired by the Tate, and mounted her first major institutional solo show at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami that year. She participated in the 2022 Venice Biennale to great acclaim, followed by a solo exhibition at the Hepworth Wakefield, where another of her works is held.
