A Muddled Mind is never Confined takes the viewer on a journey, weaving through Jadé Fadojutimi’s memory, emotion and lived experience. In the present work, colour blossoms across the painting, vibrating with the raw energy of her intricately layered brushtstrokes. Seeking inspiration from the objects that surround her while she works, Fadojutimi interrogates the associations that these objects hold for her. By translating the colours and textures of her surroundings into sweeping gestural paintings, Fadojutimi explores the construction of her own identity. Indeed, she pours herself into her paintings, working with a vulnerability that challenges the art historical trajectory of abstract painting.

Undoubtably, Fadojutimi is one of the most exciting young artists of our t.mes . At 27 years old, Fadojutimi became the youngest artist to be included in the Tate’s permanent collects ion. With her distinctly personal approach to her medium, she has reconstructed what it.mes ans to be a contemporary painter.
