Comments
From an edition of 30.
Ade Adesina is a former artist-in-residence at Eton College. He had a solo show at the Drawing Schools at Eton in 2016 and a joint show there with June Carey in 2018.
'I first saw the work of Ade Adesina in the Royal Academy summer show of 2015... Ade’s print 'The Question', a prize winner, was by far the largest relief block print and also the most striking and thought provoking. I suggested to my A’level students that they should visit the gallery and ...several of the young men returned to the Drawing Schools determined to write their A level dissertation about relief printmaking with particular reference to the work of Ade Adesina. At Eton College we run an artist in residence scheme and it seemed logical that if an artist connects with your students it can only be prudent to recruit that inspirational individual.'
