ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: JESSE AKELE (@jesse.akele) 🥀

Jesse Akele is a London based artist. She was awarded the Basil H. Alkazzi Scholarship to study on the MA Painting programme 2023 at the Royal College of Art where she was shortlisted for the Chadwell Award. Her work focuses on exploring aspects of her own identity and personal history as well as the energies of her family, friends in her day to day life experiences. Fragmenting her subjects through a use of fluid abstraction she searches for a better understanding of them, herself and the space

Highlights of recent exhibitions include ‘What Now?’ at PM/AM, London (2024, group), ‘BUFFER 2’ at Guts Gallery, London (2023, group) and ‘Layered Textures’ at DADA Gallery at (2023, group).

We are delighted to be including Jesse in our first pop-up exhibition, opening this July in Muskoka, Canada.

A beautiful weekend in Folkestone celebrating queer love. Photos of the actual wedding were banned (which was so nice 😅) so I’ve just got lots of photos of us instead 🤗. Obsessed with Folkestone, and all the wonderful people that came together to celebrate @osmanstudio & @alexbeattieprints, and queers making their own love-filled rituals using all the bits of tradition that feel meaningful. Love love love ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
