Nigerian painter Ayobami Adelaye's desire to recreate his imaginations inspired him to become an artist. His works are just that: vivid windows into rich, imaginative worlds. Often concept driven, Adelaye drives his ideas to their extremities, exploring (and sometimes satirizing) themes such as love, romance, envy, and desire. Pulsing with deep reds and dominated by primary-colored acrylics, Adelaye's works are sharply theatrical, full of drama and emotion.
