About

Babajide Brian is an artist from Clapham in South West London. He works from Studio Voltaire and regularly sets up stall at Leake Street, Waterloo.

He primarily works with drawing. Using pencil, mechanical pencil, and fine liners on paper Babajide works directly from life, photographic imagery and memory. His work falls into two distinct areas of architecture and portraiture.

His architectural drawings are precisely detailed, carefully constructed to represent the beauty and energy of the subject in its location.

Babajide’s recent work centres around both portraits and shirt designs based on the FA Premier League. This large body of work features over 100 drawings.

Babajide is supported with his practice by ActionSpace. ActionSpace works with learning disabled artists across London as a Creative Hub, Supported Studio and Artist Development Agency.
