True love

18 - 23 September 2018, The Department Store

In 2016 Danny Boyle, on behalf of the South African youth charity, Dramatic Need, commissioned Odedina to produce a series of paintings in response to testimonies from young people in South Africa who had undergone extreme and highly traumatic life experiences. This culminated in animations of Odedina’s paintings being used as backdrops to performances of the testimonies by a star-studded cast at Carnegie Hall, New York in late 2017. Now, fittingly in his home area, Brixton, Odedina will exhibit these paintings for the first time. TRUE LOVE is the world premiere exhibition, hosted by Squire & Partners at The Department Store, of such paintings, presented by Ed Cross Fine Art.
