Ade Adesina presents a major solo exhibition of monumental woodcuts, etchings, linocuts and screen-prints at the City Art Centre in Edinburgh on 8 November 2026. The show includes a newly commissioned print for Edinburgh and explores themes such as climate change and colonial histories. Adesina draws from his African roots and British cultural influences in his fine art printmaking practice.
This is a major solo show by Aberdeen-based printmaker Ade Adesina (b.1980. Nigeria), bringing together an expansive collection of the artist’s monumental woodcuts, etchings, linocuts and screen-prints, and including a newly commissioned print produced specially for Edinburgh. Exploring urgent global themes, including climate change and colonial histories, Adesina draws from the past and present, to imagine possible futures. His works carefully balance beauty with a darker underbelly, revealing the impact of human intervention on the natural world. Informed by his African roots, combined with the influence of British culture and global travels, Adesina’s practice is steeped in the traditions of Fine Art printmaking. On first glance his work appears as classical landscapes or still lifes, however they invite and reward closer looking, as complex narratives and entangled iconography is revealed.
