Adébayo Bolaji: What the Flame Could Never Burn
July 14, 2025
'What the Flame Could Never Burn', a solo exhibition of ACS member Adébayo Bolaji’s work, is now on view at Nature Morte gallery in Mumbai.
The showcase brings together a selection of vibrant paintings created during the artist’s 2025 residency at Sattva Theatre & Art in Jaipur. Rooted in Bolaji’s signature fusion of figuration and abstraction, the paintings unfold in layered compositions where bold silhouettes emerge from vibrant, fractured forms. Referencing mythology, ritual, and cultural histories, the exhibition channels inner resilience and collective memory through a dynamic visual language shaped by colour, rhythm and symbolic depth.
Until 2 Aug
