Abe Odedina (Nigeria, b. 1960) is a painter who lives and works between London and Salvador, Brazil. Born in Ibadan, Odedina received early training as an architect in England. In 2008, Odedina discovered the ceremonial fair of Candomblé in Salvador, the former Brazilian capital and center of Afro-Brazilian culture. “I reconnected with the Orishas, who were cast aside in Nigeria in the project of modernism.”

What I hope for is a charged dialogue, a uniquely contemporary conversation not only between peoples but between cultures and epochs.
