Credentials

  • Works on commission
Suraj Adekola is a Nigerian contemporary artist based in Manchester, UK, whose work examines how values—such as identity, culture, economics, and emotion—are formed, passed down, and renegotiated in a global context. He employs painting and mixed media, often incorporating hand-dyed Adire fabric, acrylic, and elements of symbolic language to create layered compositions. Fabric features prominently as a means to convey memory, labor, and identity, while motifs referencing trade and exchange highlight the complexities of contemporary life. Adekola’s approach treats materials as agents of meaning, intertwining history and gesture within each composition.
