Ade Kassim

Ade Kassim is a multidisciplinary artist whose work interweaves the vibrant textures of Nigerian heritage with a contemporary global perspective. Born and raised in Lagos, Kassim's artistic journey began with early explorations of painting and sculpture, reflecting the visual rhythms of everyday life and community stories. After studying fine arts at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Kassim developed a signature style characterized by bold color palettes, layered symbolism, and a fusion of traditional motifs with modern abstraction.

Kassim’s work—spanning mixed media, installation, and digital art—often grapples with themes of identity, migration, and the evolving nature of cultural memory. Exhibited in galleries across Africa, Europe, and North America, Kassim’s art continues to resonate widely for its emotional depth and innovative engagement with both personal and collective histories. Currently based between Lagos and London, Ade Kassim remains a dynamic voice in contemporary art, committed to bridging worlds and perspectives through creative expression.
