英国艺术家Jade Fadojutimi的作品集。 随著2020年秋天在“Pippy Houldsworth Gallery”举办的第二次个展而发行。 本书标题“jesture”这个词，带有一种莫名的不合理感。 此外，这种感觉与新冠肺炎疫情下的强制自我隔离生活造成的日常节奏紊乱也有相通之处。 作者通过艺术反复质疑身份及其流动性，并表达了对快乐，欲望和选择概念的理解对自我意识的重要性。 作者说，听电影、动画、游戏的原声带会唤起强烈的记忆，被拉回第一次体验的那个瞬间。 作为对此的反应，作者在画布上展开了鲜艳的色彩。 帮助作者理解自己的各种影响被整合，转化为能量和情感爆发的大型动作绘画。 这样形成的复杂构图，作者称之为“环境”。 它既不完全抽象，也不完全象征。 作者用最近开始使用的油彩在重叠的油彩层上画线。 由于采用了新的绘画材料，可以更加灵活地控制配色、构图和深度，将绘画的即兴性活用到画布上。 本书收录的随笔《From Life - Thoughts on the paintings of Jade Fadojutimi现代艺术杂志《frieze”作者/编辑珍妮弗希吉jennifer higgie)评论道。
「在这幅画中，混沌壮丽的世界作为暗示而存在。 不是对“艺术是什么”的说明，而是迸发出的能量、闪烁的色彩、摇曳的光芒、反应，以及期待有人继续说下去的话语。 和人一样，人画的画也能在眨眼的短时间内改变气氛」
本作是以伦敦为据点的“A Practice for Everyday Life”设计，由“Pippy Houldsworth Gallery”和“Anomie Publishing”共同出版，是作者的第一本作品集。
Jade Fadojutimi: Jesture Pippy Houldsworth Gallery to accompany the second solo exhibition at发布 the gallery of new paintings by London-based artist Jade 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， 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， transformed into large-scale gestural paintings charged with energy and emotion. Described by Fadojutimi as 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可能by her recent adoption of oil pastels. the introduction of new materials into her painting has enabled Fadojutimi to think more broadly 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 Jade 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 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’
This, the artist’s first published book, designed by A Practice for Everyday Life has been co-published by Pippy Houldsworth Gallery and Anomie Publishing
