I,
John Adenle, am a sculptor and multimedia artist, an educator, and the leader
of an emerging art movement. I create pieces entirely out of waste plastics,
wood, and cellophane, transforming refuse that would otherwise litter our
planet into artistic spectacles.
I have a Doctorate of Philosophy, a Master of
Arts (University of Nigeria, Nsukka,) in art education and a Bachelor of Arts
(Obafemi Awolowo University, Adeyemi College of Education, Nigeria) in
sculpture. I am a lecturer at the Federal College of Education in Abeokuta,
Nigeria, where I teach sculpture and art education and mentor students as they
embark on their artistic paths.
I take every opportunity possible to spread and
promote art practices through attending workshops, organizing artist residencies,
facilitating art workshops and occasionally producing children’s television and
radio programmes.
