Featuring curving figures that appear suspended in mid-motion, Adeniyi-Jones’s large-scale lithograph recalls celebratory dancing and invokes the repetitive movement of ritualized ceremonial processes.
The artist, who was born in London to Nigerian parents and has lived in both the United Kingdom and the United States, often centers his work around notions of identity and views the body as a powerful vehicle for storytelling that transcends boundaries and borders.
