JESTURE by Jadé Fadojutimi

A collection of works by Jadé Fadojutimi, a British artist. Published in his second solo exhibition held at "Pippy Houdsworth Gallery" in the fall of 2020. This book title "JestureThe word "" is a bit absurd. This sensation also leads to the disorder of daily rhythms due to a forced self-isolation life under lockdown by COVID-19. The author repeatedly questions the identity and its fluid nature through art, and expresses how important the understanding of the concept of pleasure, desire, and selection is for self -consciousness. Listening to the soundtrack of movies, anime, and games, the creator will revive intense memories and will be pulled back to the moment they experienced them for the first time. As a reaction to this, the author expands vivid colors on the canvas. These various impacts that the author have helped to understand themselves will be integrated, and will be turned into a large -format action painting that explodes energy and emotions. The author calls the complex composition in this way as the "environment." It is neither abstract nor symbolic. The author draws a line with an oil pastel that has recently begun to use from the overlapping oil paint layer. He said that by incorporating new articles, the color scheme, composition and depths could be controlled more flexibly, and the improvisation of the drawing could be used for the canvas. Essay included in this book "From Life -Thoughts on the Paintings of Jadé FadojutimiIn the contemporary art magazineFRIEZEWriter / editor -in -chief Jennifer Higgy (Jennifer Higgie) Is described as follows.

「In this painting, there is an implied chaotic world as a suggestion. It is not an explanation of "What is art", it's a word that was released in the hope that the energy, sparkling colors, fluctuating light, reactions, and someone will continue. Like people, paintings drawn by humans can change the atmosphere in a short time to blink.」

This work is based in London "A Practice for Everyday LifeThis is the first collection of works for the author, published in the form of "Pippy Houdsworth Gallery" and "Anomie Publishing".

Jadé FadojutiMi: JEsture is a publication produced by Pippy Houldsworth Gallery to accompany the second solo exhibition at the gallery of new paintings by London-based artist Jadé Fadojutimi, presented in autumn 2020. The word 'Jesture' in the title of the exhibition and publication evokes a sense of the absurd, responding to the disruption of daily rhythms arising from forced isolation during lockdown. Central to Fadojutimi's practice is a repeated questioning of identity, its fluid nature and howthe understanding of notions of pleasure, desire and choice are integral to a sense of self. Powerful memories, experienced whilst listening to film, animation and video game soundtracks, transport Fadojutimi to the first time she encountered them, eliciting a response that is experienced through intense colour. The synthesis of these various influences, through which Fadojutimi understands her sense of self , Is Transformed into Large-Scale Gestural Paintings Charged with Energy and Emotion. Descriped by Fadojutimi a s 'environments', these complex compositions, neither wholly abstract nor figurative, are built up with layers of oil paint, interrupted by the more linear mark-making made possible by her recent adoption of oil pastels. The introduction of new materials into her painting Has Enabled Fadojutimi to Think More Broady About Palette, Composition and Depth, While Translating The Spontaneity of Her Drawing on to the Canvas.

In Her Essay for the Publication, ‘From Life - Thoughts on the Paintings of Jadé Fadojutimi ', Writer and Editorat-Large of FRIEZE Magazine Jennifer Higgie Writes:

‘In these paintings, the world, in all of its chaotic glory, exists as an intimation. Art is not an explanation: it's a shot of energy, a flash of colour; a shimmer, a reaction, a line thrown out to see who might Pick it Up. Pictures Are Made by People and, Like People, Their Tone Can Switch Direction in The Blink of An Eye.’
