Temitope Adebowale is a British-Nigerian artist and graphic designer, painting greyscale portraits while exploring woodwork, materiality and installation. She draws inspiration from the minimal and the mundane, endeavouring to discover the abundances therein. Her processes often begin with a found image or a found material, working in response to these stimuli, to honour their themes and attributes in her works. She seeks to harmonise them resourcefully, to produce outcomes in which they co-exist in complimentary manner. Her works hold layers of personal memories and reflections, referencing multiple moments in time and ways of seeing. She resists the overstimulation of the present day, re-visiting imagery of the past in ways that allow for a contemplative catching-up to the present… and all of its changes.
