Abiodun Olaku: Prints & Multiples, 2003 - 2024: Presenting limited print editions of six paintings by Nigerian art master, Abiodun Olaku

Fresco Gallery presents limited print editions of six original paintings from Abiodun Olaku's oeuvre between 2003-2024, offering an experience of Olaku’s mastery in a new light.

In his 43-year career, Abiodun Olaku’s work captures the beauty and simplicity of Nigerian urban life through cityscapes and landscapes from bustling streets and market scenes to serene nature in his hometown, Lagos Nigeria. Renowned for his mastery of realism, one of the hallmarks of Olaku’s style is his extraordinary use of light and shadow, creating a sense of depth and atmosphere, and showcasing meticulous detailing in his paintings. 

A student under Professor Yusuf Grillo and a mentor to noteworthy emerging Nigerian artists, Olaku’s contribution to the Nigerian contemporary art scene is one of relentless passion and a craft that has morphed beautifully over the years.
