Expect vibrant compositions that bubble with untrammelled energy and reference a range of sources, from the artist’s own identity to the social and cultural environments that have shaped her distinctive vision.

It’s a chance to see Fadojutimi’s work alongside celebrated pieces from the Hepworth Wakefield’s outstanding Modern British art collection. You’ll come away with a new appreciation of her prodigious talent. Book your train tickets now.
