Olukunle Adenle is a Nigerian sculptor whose tactile practice bridges traditional woodcarving with contemporary storytelling. Born in Oyo State and trained at Yaba College of Technology, Lagos, Adenle specializes in sculpture, drawing from deep-rooted cultural heritage and a mastery of materials like wood, metal, and fiberglass.

His works transform everyday objects into vessels of memory and identity—inviting presence and provoking dialogue. Honed through apprenticeships at the Universal Studios of Art and collaborative workshops with international artists such as Delphine Denereaz, Adenle’s craftsmanship reflects both technical precision and emotional resonance.

Adenle’s practice spans public commissions, functional art, and fine sculpture. Notable highlights include his commission for the Gulder Ultimate Search (2021), a ceremonial throne for the Okeluse Kingdom (2024), and group exhibitions like Elixir 3 (SCAN, 2024), Affordable Art Fair (Mydrim Gallery, 2023), and Miniature Art Fair Lagos (2021). He was also selected as a finalist in the Next of Kin Series 6 and recognized among the top 100 artists at LIMCAF (2023).

With works held in private collections in Nigeria and abroad—including Anfaani Private Collection (USA) and Nordic Art Collector (USA)—Adenle’s practice carves a space for cultural memory, embodiment, and craft in a rapidly shifting visual landscape.
