Ade Adesina ARE

My work is a visual commentary around the ideas of ecology and our ever-changing world. I am fascinated by how the human footprint is affecting our planet.

 

Our world is full of wonderful landscapes and I wish to highlight the continual damage caused by things such as deforestation, the politics of energy consumption, and endangered wild species.

 

My practice is influenced by my experiences of travel and the imagery that I encounter. In recent years I have spent time in Italy, Nigeria, Germany, America, Dubai, Canada, and the Scottish Islands. I try to immerse myself in different cultures and collect a variety of imagery to use in my next body of work. I enjoy researching and visualizing the difference between countries both historically and culturally. My ideas come from the places that I have visited and I source information from documentaries and current affairs.
