An exhibition bringing together the work of two highly influential artists from Nigeria, the first, Jimoh Buraimoh, whose work developed out of the so-called 'Oshogbo School' and who is important as the first artist to begin to use beads to compose the vibrant colour blocks of his work. The second is the polymath Chief Z. O. Oloruntoba, whose highly-coloured thread-on-canvas pieces provide the perfect complement to Buraimoh's work, showing fascinating similarities and differences by turns.
