We must grow with the new Nigeria and work to satisfy her traditional love for art or perish with our colonial past.’ In response, his audience rose to the challenge, studying the country’s folklore and songs and experimenting with traditional art techniques to forge a new path. https://www.abeodedina.com/press/blog-post-title-one-8gzes monthly 0.5 2021-06-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60bdce5216d6b011fa5cef74/1624558321460-D6PDJVR527FZ2K2ZRJZV/chris+review.PNG press - LOVE AND HATE REVIEW - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.abeodedina.com/press/blog-post-title-three-hdt88 monthly 0.5 2021-06-24 https://www.abeodedina.com/press/the-government-art-collection-acquires-abe-odedinas-true-love monthly 0.5 2021-06-24 https://www.abeodedina.com/press/profiles-from-art-x-abe-odedina monthly 0.5 2021-06-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60bdce5216d6b011fa5cef74/1624559113646-QLOHDKG33CUIC60QDW5B/thisday-style-front-page-november-10-2019-copy.jpg press - PROFILES FROM ART X: ABE ODEDINA - Funke Babs-Kufeji speaks to Abe Odedina following his exhibition at Art X Lagos 2019 for THISDAY Style magazine. https://www.abeodedina.com/press/abe-odedina-nataal-issue-2 monthly 0.5 2021-06-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60bdce5216d6b011fa5cef74/1624559400041-OLC0HGWDBJ477Z27NZ7C/NATAAL.jpg press - ABE ODEDINA, NATAAL ISSUE 2 - Opening the door to his south London home wearing his signature blue overalls and spectacular spectacles, two rambunctious dogs barking at his heels, Abe Odedina offers to put on some coffee and we instantly launch into a discussion about his paintings and the inexplicable meanings of life that they investigate. https://www.abeodedina.com/press/abe-odedina-at-the-department-store monthly 0.5 2021-06-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60bdce5216d6b011fa5cef74/1624567471287-UJELQKUQZM9G6NZYIN8S/idol.PNG press - idol speculation - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.abeodedina.com/press/abe-odedina-profile-painterly-paradise monthly 0.5 2021-06-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60bdce5216d6b011fa5cef74/1624568172784-VN8WQUEJ758VMLPTC4WD/harpers-abe-odedina.compressed-dragged-.jpg press - aBE ODEDINA PROFILE: PAINTERLY PARADISE Abe Odedina is in his Salvador studio.

He is married with two children and lives and works in London/Salvador Bahia. Abe is represented by Ed Cross Fine Art. A practising architect and self taught painter, he started painting several years ago when on a trip to Brazil he fell under the spell of the magical popular arts particularly of Bahia and Pernambuco. This ignited a passion that lead to the discovery of the Voodoo arts of Haiti and the Painters of the Sacred Heart. He paints with Acrylic on plywood. The paintings are flat with the surfaces ordered without the aid of perspective or concern for the laws of gravity, encouraging a mythical interpretation of the world. Abe’s paintings delight in the use of colour and imaginative pictorial statement. These qualities are rooted in the traditions of expressive figurative paintings that can be found in the streets in cities, like Lagos, Salvador, or Port-au-Prince adorning the sides of lorries, on the walls of temples, beer parlours, love motels or advertising the services of barbers, vulcanisers, healers and other specialists. The figurative subjects are distilled to their essential forms in a bold and stylised manner. The paintings which often incorporate descriptive titles or other text explore personal and universal themes expressed to create a vivid and intense world. It is a world of sharp contrasts populated by Orishas, Saints, and farm animals as well as a cast of fictional character such as Captain Nice, Amazing Grace, Area Boy, Bloody Mary, Mary of Hull, Prince Charming, Joy Rider, Best Boy, Lucky Derek, Angel of the South, Can do Noah and many more. Because of his belief in the power of art to transform reality into images of a miraculous world it is no accident that his paintings are engaged with the idea that reality is an interplay of the visible and the feasible. https://www.abeodedina.com/gallery-1 daily 0.75 2021-10-07 https://www.abeodedina.com/home-1 daily 0.75 2021-08-18 https://www.abeodedina.com/about daily 0.75 2021-07-24 https://www.abeodedina.com/exhibitions2 daily 0.75 2021-12-02 https://www.abeodedina.com/press1 daily 0.75 2021-12-15 https://www.abeodedina.com/publications daily 0.75 2021-09-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60bdce5216d6b011fa5cef74/1625667050347-31EDHGN641GUO3FQ2YGG/loVE+AND+hATE+.jpg publications https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60bdce5216d6b011fa5cef74/1631186475354-ELORVJ1HZHMNJ451AMQS/Abe+Odedina+Beulah%27s+Garden%2C+2019++.jpg publications - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.abeodedina.com/archive daily 0.75 2021-09-29 https://www.abeodedina.com/contact daily 0.75 2021-07-24 https://www.abeodedina.com/home-1-1 daily 1.0 2021-12-15 https://www.abeodedina.com/2016 daily 0.75 2021-09-29 https://www.abeodedina.com/2017 daily 0.75 2021-09-29 https://www.abeodedina.com/2018 daily 0.75 2021-09-29 https://www.abeodedina.com/2019 daily 0.75 2021-09-29 https://www.abeodedina.com/2020 daily 0.75 2021-09-29 https://www.abeodedina.com/2021 daily 0.75 2021-09-29 https://www.abeodedina.com/gallery-1-1 daily 0.75 2022-02-03 https://www.abeodedina.com/home-1-2 daily 0.75 2021-11-06 https://www.abeodedina.com/exhibitions-1 daily 0.75 2021-06-24 https://www.abeodedina.com/exhibitions-1/project-six-pkex6 monthly 0.5 2021-06-10 https://www.abeodedina.com/exhibitions-1/project-four-424ry monthly 0.5 2021-06-10 https://www.abeodedina.com/exhibitions-1/project-five-n48bc monthly 0.5 2021-06-10 https://www.abeodedina.com/exhibitions-1/project-two-w5fdl monthly 0.5 2021-06-10 https://www.abeodedina.com/exhibitions-1/project-three-72z9d monthly 0.5 2021-06-10 https://www.abeodedina.com/exhibitions-1/project-one-4dyxm monthly 0.5 2021-07-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60bdce5216d6b011fa5cef74/1624569411534-QE82V3USC48HZ7163AD3/edcrossfineart-abe-odedina-untitled-red-corner-and-blue-corner-2019.jpg exhibitions - In The Beginning, Ed Cross Fine Art, 2021 https://www.abeodedina.com/exhibitions-1/diaspora-abe-odedina-and-wole-lagunju-2019 monthly 0.5 2021-06-24 https://www.abeodedina.com/exhibitions-1/get-up-stand-up-now-2019 monthly 0.5 2021-06-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60bdce5216d6b011fa5cef74/1624576448090-294UB0F9O679O44V5LR2/Beluah%27s+Garden exhibitions - Get Up, Stand Up Now, 2019 https://www.abeodedina.com/exhibitions-1/true-love-2018 monthly 0.5 2021-06-24 https://www.abeodedina.com/exhibitions-1/talisman-in-the-age-of-difference-2018 monthly 0.5 2021-06-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60bdce5216d6b011fa5cef74/1625128185601-W4CO5TD1O0I3QNNYMYMH/love+letter.jpg exhibitions - Talisman in the Age of Difference, 2018 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.abeodedina.com/exhibitions-1/say-it-loud-154-contemporary-african-art-fair-2017 monthly 0.5 2021-06-24 https://www.abeodedina.com/exhibitions-1/summer-exhibition-ra-2017 monthly 0.5 2021-07-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60bdce5216d6b011fa5cef74/1625129157223-2PB6K3MR87C0NCR754DH/Deep+Cut+medium+res+.jpg exhibitions - Summer Exhibition, RA, 2017 https://www.abeodedina.com/exhibitions-1/eye-to-eye-2016 monthly 0.5 2021-06-24
