Yeside Linney

Fuguration, Abstract and Landscape Artist

Intensely creative, Yeside started her journey in the Arts as an English teacher. This is important because words, meaning and import are a fundamental aspect of her creative endeavour. Through the study of language Yeside first learnt to go deep with her subject matter, discovering layers of perspective and time and then pealing them back with interest and rigor to revel the true heart of her study. For Yeside, the energy for her work is a driving force; the mark of a true creative.

Born in Nigeria and educated in England, Yeside’s work is largely driven by exploring and giving voice to her sense of identity, both realized and forgotten; focusing on one day fully realising her denied Nigerian heritage.

Showcased Work

A multi award winning artist and a true force of nature with a beautiful soul and a warrior spirit. Fiercely proud of her Yoruba heritage, Yeside is committed to establishing a voice for her people through her art that is defined by love, strength and equanimity.

I want to participate in a cultural conversation in which Black art and Black artists are recognised for their contributions to our collective understanding of human identity.

Yeside’s energy is what makes her work pulse with life and meaning. A natural experimenter, she is not constrained by formal training, and employs multiple media with a disciplined and sensitive approach. With a deep love of nature she focuses primarily on semi-representational landscapes, vibrant abstracts and more recently portraiture in the attainment of her goals.

Certainly one to watch; we are honoured to have Yeside join the ranks of the Artists Appreciation Initiative.
