With rising demand from African collectors, Adeyinka goals to make African artwork extra mainstream, alongside international exhibitions just like the Centre Pompidou’s Paris Noir and Tate Trendy’s Nigerian Modernism, which have fun African artwork’s pivotal position within the post-colonial period.
