Adegboyega Adesina
Nigerian

Adegboyega Adesina’s portraiture looks inwardly, his intimate depictions of Black subjects incorporate rich colour schemes and capture the essence of his figures’ selfhoods. Adesina’s practice draws on his Nigerian background, examining it through a multi-layered and deeply personal lens. His paintings are a window into the nature of his country, from Nigeria’s cultures, to its traditions, to its political landscape. Adesina fosters dialogue between subject and viewer, conveying his subject’s message beyond the canvas. Adesina’s practice encompasses an unwavering pride and love for Nigeria and his community. He projects himself into the image, his emotions and personal history are embedded within the paint strokes. Painting is a process through which he can examine and process his experiences, and his emotional response to events that have affected him. He allows his imagination and his reality to intertwine with each other through his imagery. ...

Athens

The Breeder gallery was formed organically from The Breeder magazine due to the need of Athenian artists to promote international dialogue. Over the last 20 years The Breeder has been a pioneer in the development of the contemporary art scene in Athens. They show art that is relevant to our times and promote a select group of Greek artists on the global arena while also showing cutting edge international artists. The Breeder serves as a link that connects cultures and supports a deeper exchange. They support their community by providing an active platform for the exchange of ideas and ideals. In 2019 they introduced The Breeder Open Studio initiative, where the gallery is available to invited artists prior to their show. Working onsite the artists have the opportunity to engage with the audience in more substantial ways. Invited artists of the Breeder Open studio, include Ariana Papademetropoulos, Chioma Ebinama, Joy Labinjo, Ekene Stanley Emecheta, Victor Ubah, Barry Yusufu and Adegboyega Adesina. ...
