Notes : Abiodun Olaku’s works on canvas explore the artist’s fascination with the Nigerian social landscape. Working in a highly realistic style with a technical precision to detail, Olaku’s artistic practice is rooted in the representational tradition with a focus on nature and the urban environment . His subtle use of colour and light evokes a haunting and immediate presence. Olaku graduated from the Yaba College of Technology, Lagos, in 1981, under the mentorship of Prof. Yusuf Grillo, Kolade Oshinowo, and Dr. Isiaka Osunde. Olaku is the former Vice President of the Guild of Professional Fine Artists of Nigeria and a foundation member of one of Nigeria’s oldest group studios, Universal Studios of Art, located at the National Theatre complex in Lagos.
