Lino Printing with Ade Adesina - Talk & Print Demonstration

Combining objects, places and scenes from his African heritage, British culture and those encountered whilst travelling, Ade Adesina creates visually-immersive landscapes which come together with the impact of history painting.

Adesina combines traditional printmaking techniques with an innovative approach to subject matter. Drawing on a vast reserve of memories and imagined scenarios, Adesina has created a visual language laden with symbolism and incisive comment. Speaking about his work, Adesina has said: 'I work in a very strange way. Every print, sculpture or painting owns a story; it is like reading a novel. There are different characters coming in at different chapters. I don't find it interesting knowing where a piece of work is going to end before I begin. I can start on the earth and end on the moon. What I enjoy most includes not knowing what direction a piece of work is going.'
