Tunji Adeniyi-Jones: Immersions

Debuting a new series of paintings, Tunji Adeniyi-Jones’s solo exhibition ‘Immersions’ explores the diasporic body, African subjecthood and autonomy. Born and educated in the UK and now based in New York, Adeniyi-Jones draws on his Yoruba heritage, the ancient history of West Africa and its mythology, as well as the Black American culture of his immediate surroundings. While his practice is grounded by these biographical details, Adeniyi-Jones uses painting to engage with what curator Ekow Eshun has referred to as ‘a broader, deeper sense of African possibility’. For his first exhibition in Korea, Adeniyi-Jones has created a new series of paintings that respond to the context of Seoul, and mark a new development in his exploration of the interplay between figure, environment and motion.
