Alimi Adewale
Alimi Adewale was born in 1974 in Ilorin, Nigeria. He currently lives and works in Nigeria.
Alimi Adewale is a painter and sculptor whose work examines the complex issues that face the lives of everyday people in his Nigerian community.
Imbued with their own mortality, his sculptures are an articulation of traditional African sculpture and experimental contemporary art. Incorporating elements of minimalism, expressionism, and abstraction, Alimi creates an œuvre that is distinctly current, and as witty as it is macabre. He challenges accepted belief systems in and about Nigeria.
