The exhibition at ICA Miami highlights Fadojutimi's wide range of techniques, her complex emotions and the inspiration she takes from her environment.
Yet, Another Pathetic Fallacy is the first solo museum presentation by London-based artist Jadé Fadojutimi. Featuring a suite of new, layered large-scale paintings, this exhibition provides a window into the artist’s rapidly developing approach to abstraction.
Fadojutimi cites and updates the key art historical elements of the twentieth century—grids, webs, transparency and layering, and the mixing of disparate kinds of mark-making—to suggest processes or elements that are in exalted search for their final forms, blossoming, or in movement. Her complex images, which use a surprising and electric color palette, can suggest plants and garlands, microscopic activity, marine landscapes, or stained-glass windows, lingering at the cusp of abstraction and figuration, landscape and object. Her exhibition at ICA Miami is a comprehensive consideration of Fadojutimi’s deep interior world, presenting works that highlight her wide range of techniques, the complex emotions she explores, and the inspiration she takes from her immediate environment.
This exhibition is accompanied by a full-color catalog with newly commissioned scholarly essays by Gean Moreno, Suzanne Hudson, and Gilda Williams, and an interview with Alex Gartenfeld.
Jadé Fadojutimi: Yet, Another Pathetic Fallacy is organized by ICA Miami and curated by Alex Gartenfeld, Artistic Director, and Gean Moreno, Director of the Knight Foundation Art + Research Center.
