About Artist
Born in 1981 in Ayetoro, Wasiu Adelakun graduated with a B.A. in Islamic Education from Tai Solarin University of Education. An art enthusiast since childhood, Wasiu developed his passion for drawing and painting independently before formal education. Over a decade of collaboration with his brother, Saheed Adelakun, he further honed his artistic skills.
Wasiu's artistic approach is distinguished by his innovative use of reusable waste, notably the jute sack, as a canvas. His works feature warm-toned backgrounds created from jute sacks, juxtaposed with cool and vibrant elements, evoking a sense of life and energy.
With a focus on human and animal portraiture, Wasiu aims to bridge the gap between art creation and Islamic principles, which dissociates with creating figurative objects for idolatry purposes. He is a dedicated member of The Society of Nigerian Artists, Lagos State Chapter, showcasing his art annually at the esteemed October Rain Exhibitions since 2022.

The Masque of Comus
Located in Atlanta, GA
"My work principally consists of deeply abstracted figure compositions--intuitive constructions that begin with random marks establishing larger masses of torsos, heads, and limbs in an undefined setting. The emphasis is almost purely on intuition. The figures are born of their surrounding environment, emerging only partially and fugitively from the layers of pigment.
A narrative is evident but never overt. A crown, a shield, a boat, a wheel. Though the subject has recently coalesced around my reading of Dante and Shakespeare, the settings remain extremely vague- a beach, an interior, a woodland. The paintings are, in the end, meditations on the relationship between the protagonists in a wordless drama. In my paintings, I use a cold wax medium combined with dry pigments, oil paint, and embedded fragments of burlap. The surfaces eventually build up into a dense, rugged terrain."
