Jadé Fadojutimi: Our Inner Tide

This autumn, Fadojutimi relocated her base of production to Tokyo. Marking her third solo exhibition with Taka Ishii Gallery, the show brings together a new body of large-scale paintings created in Japan—an environment that continues to exert a profound influence on her practice—alongside the first presentation of a new soundscape installation.

A defining characteristic of Fadojutimi’s painting lies in its rich and striking use of color, articulated through dynamic, animated brushwork. Flowing strokes of oil paint are layered repeatedly, allowing color and form to merge in a state of constant motion, while the subsequent wiping away of accumulated paint exposes previously concealed layers beneath the surface. Upon these moist, tactile grounds, swift yet delicate lines drawn with oil pastel and oil bar are applied, infusing the works with further energy and rhythm.
