Abiodun Olaku

Abiodun Olaku (Born 1958) is active/lives in Nigeria.  Abiodun Olaku is known for Painting.

Abiodun Olaku was born in Nigeria in 1958.  He studied painting at Yaba College of technology in Lagos under the tutelage of Professor Yusuf Grillo, Kolade Oshinowo and the late Dr Isiaka Osunde.  Olaku's original and continuing inspiration as a painter is drawn from the notion of art transcending time and outliving its creator.  Inherent in his work there is a compelling dichotomy between the precision with which the artist frames his compositions and responds to his subject matter - and the subject matter itself - the minutiae of nature's atmospherics and the complex narratives of human activity. 

Olaku's works are visual tributes to Nigerian life as it is evolving; contemporary culture observed and recreated for posterity, with a sense of exactitude and discipline.  Whilst his work is not overtly political, his attention to detail and respect for his subject matter is in itself a political statement.
