Jinadu Oladepo

I will be out of the country for about six weeks, from May 1st to June 17th, and so will not be shipping orders or open for visitors at the gallery. The Indigo Arts website will be active as always. Because I will be traveling in a remote area I will not have email or phone access for most of the time. I will respond to messages as soon as possible. I will be able to process and ship orders after June 17th, 2026. Thank you for your patience.
Namaste!

About the Artist

Jinadu Oladepo (1924 - ?)

Born in Oshogbo, Oshun state, Nigeria in 1924. The younger brother of Asiru Olatunde, Jinadu Oladepo was trained as a blacksmith through family apprenticeship. Encouraged by Susanne Wenger and Georgina Beier through the Oshogbo workshops, Oladepo created figurines, pendants, bangles, rings and buttons from 1965 (information from Nigerian Artists: A Who's Who and Bibliography - Bernice M. Kelly and Janet L. Stanley, and other sources). In addition to sculpture, Oladepo was known for his paintings. A collection of his paintings are in the collection of the Glasgow Museums.
