“This exhibition is a quest to regain my creative freedom.
All the works are “feelings”, visual transcriptions of the feeling of fear or anxiety that can sometimes hit me”
To close its program of exhibitions for the year 2022, Galerie LOFT invites you to live a real aesthetic experience in a unique face-to-face with the work of a young artist who has been able to bare himself to offer us a immersed in the heart of his soul and his fears.
Kévin-Ademola Sangosanya, is only 26 years old, and yet…
Of Franco-Nigerian origin, he draws from the spiritual world of Yoruba culture as much as from European folklore, numerous symbols and figures, but also sounds, images and materials, to produce a mixed, powerful and vibrant work.
The strength of his aesthetic discourse probably stems from the fragility he agrees to share with us. An incomparable sensitivity on edge, which catches us at first sight and gradually infiltrates deep within us.

Kévin-Ademola Sangosanya

Kévin-Ademola Sangosanya

Of French and Yoruba origin, Kevin-Ademola SANGOSANYA was born in the Paris region in 1996. Although he showed a real passion and already great abilities for drawing at a very young age, he did after obtaining his baccalaureate in engineer in tropical agronomy. He spent 8 months in Nigeria for his end-of-diploma internship working on the conservation of forest species, reforestation, and the study of medicinal, food and sacred plants by making the link between the three areas that fascinate him. then, the preservation of culture, the sustenance of populations and spirituality. Despite everything, his compulsive need to create accompanies him on a daily basis. He draws more and more, compulsively picks up objects in the street which become supports for the creation of painting-objects and scatters the walls of Cergy where he then lives off his graffiti-poems under the pseudonym of "Lonely Jane".
