Jade Fadojutimi
In Episode 17 of The Great Women Artists Podcast, Katy Hessel interviews one of the most exciting young artists working in the world right now, JAD\xc9 FADOJUTIMI !!\n\nAnd WOW was it amazing to record at Jad\xe9's South London studio surrounded by her monumental works. She is SO brilliant and not only did we have so much fun recording this episode, but it is such a great insight to her work and also an honest experience being an artist.\n\nWorking in painting and drawing, Jad\xe9 is known for her large-scale, vibrant and complex emotional landscapes that offer an insight into the artist\u2019s quest for identity. Made up of loose, expressive and translucent brushstrokes, when witnessed in the flesh, the energy and conviction in her medium is completely infectious.\xa0\n\nA fairly recent graduate of The Slade School of Art, where she completed her BA, and the Royal College of Art, where she completed her MA in 2017, the London born and bred Jad\xe9 has since gone on to exhibit widely across the world, including shows at Pippy Houldsworth, PEER, and more! \n\nDespite only being 26, Jad\xe9 has received high critical acclaim for her paintings, and this summer, will be included in the upcoming Liverpool Biennial as well as having a solo exhibition in Japan. Speaking about her work, she has said \u2018painting is like looking into a windowpane and seeing the reflection of her self, the context in which she lives, and the distorted fusion of the two\u2019.\xa0\xa0\n\nSee more of Jad\xe9's works here:\xa0\nhttp://jadefadojutimi.com/\n\nThank you for listening!!\n\nThis episode is sponsored by the National Art Pass and the Affordable Art Fair!\n\n@artfund:\xa0https://www.artfund.org/katy-hessel\nTo receive a free tote bag with your National Art Pass, enter the code GREAT at checkout!\xa0\n\n@affordableartfairuk:\xa0https://affordableartfair.com/\n\nFollow us:\nKaty Hessel: @thegreatwomenartists / @katy.hessel\nSound editing by @_ellieclifford\nArtwork by @thisisaliceskinner\nMusic by Ben Wetherfield\n\nhttps://www.thegreatwomenartists.com/
