Come into the kaleidoscopic and multidisciplinary world of Adébayo Bolaji, whose solo exhibition In Praise of Beauty takes over the first-floor galleries of Arnolfini, exploring and questioning notions of beauty through painting, sculpture, film and writing.
Based upon a new body of work (commissioned by New Art Exchange) In Praise of Beauty includes the monumental works in acrylic and oil pastel The Vessel (2024) and No Beauty Without Struggle (2024), mixed-media series I Love You (2024), drawings, and mythological-inspired sculpture with The Head of Medusa (2024).
Showing alongside is A Notebook on the Voice (2023), a film which Bolaji describes as ‘a scrap-book, exploring ideas on what it can mean to have a voice, to use it, or to have it used…’
