Moyo Ogundipe, born 1948 in Ado Ekiti, Nigeria, is “firmly anchored to the Yoruba traditional biosphere.” He studied at the University of Ife (now Obafemi Awolowo University) and at the Maryland Institute of College of Art, in Baltimore. For fifteen years he lived in the United States, as a political exile from Nigeria, but returned home in 2008. Ogundipe is primarily a painter of large colorful canvasses. Lots of pink & blue, green & yellow cover the surface, exhibiting a true horror vacui. The paintings illustrated here are mainly from the late 1990s to date, many from the artist’s collection. This is his first major retrospective with substantial essays.
He was a lecturer in the social and management faculty (mass communications department) of Bowen University
