- Lot Description
Africa, Nigeria, artist: Ola of the Oshogbo School, signed Ola on lower right, ca. 2010. A vibrant ink painting on cotton fabric created by Ola of the Osogbo (Oshogbo) School. This composition features one individual riding a bicycle surrounded by three women going to market, carrying their wares on their heads, with a bird or two in the background as well - all in a striking fuchsia, violet, blue-green, spring green, black, and white palette with stylized geometric patterns adorning most elements of the composition. Artists of the Osogbo school (named for a town in southwestern Nigeria) have been influenced by traditional Yoruba mythology and culture. This piece demonstrates influences of the best known Osogbo school artists including Prince Twins Seven-Seven, Yinka Adeyemi, and the late Asiru Olatunde and Rufus Ogundele. Size: 31" L x 51.75" W (78.7 cm x 131.4 cm)
Oshogbo painting presents lively imagery depicting animals, plants, humans, and Yoruba deities. The compositions resonate with those of Yoruba carvings, and the iconography reflects notions of balance and transformation in addition to dualities such as past and present, the earthly and the spiritual, machines and agriculture.
Provenance: private Poos collection, Overland Park, Kansas, USA; purchased directly from the artist in 2010 - One of the largest privately held quilt and textile collections in the world, the Poos Collection has evolved over 50 years and through extensive travels to allow for original or point of source acquisition.
