The Next Big Name in Painting — Live, In a Living Room - #SFTechWeek

At 33, Tunji Adeniyi-Jones has already done what most artists take decades to build: museum placements across Asia, Europe, Africa, and the U.S. — including The Met, LACMA, and the Studio Museum in Harlem. In 2024, he represented Nigeria at the Venice Biennale, installing a luminous ceiling painting for the Nigeria Pavilion — work Cultured Magazine described as capturing "Adeniyi-Jones's talent for infusing the history of West Africa and the mythology of his Yoruba heritage into paintings that feel distinctly contemporary."
Now's your chance to meet him before the rest of the world catches up.
Join tech leaders who also love art for an intimate salon evening inside a private Bay Area collector's home, surrounded by real work from their collection, with Tunji himself in the room. We'll talk through how his signature style came to be — bold color, fluid figures, and Yoruba mythology reimagining West African modernism for a global stage — the influences, the breakthrough moment, the process behind the work — then open it up for you to ask him directly.
Just twenty seats. A collector's living room. Wine and canapés in hand. The kind of access that won't be this easy once he's a name everyone knows.
