Chief Jimoh Buraimoh (Nigerian, b.1943) Chief Jimoh Buraimoh (Nigerian, b.1943) Five figures signed and dated 'buraimoh 05' l.r., beadwork 55 x 69.5cm Artist Georgina Beier and her husband, Ulli, held workshops in Osogbo, Nigeria, and in 1964, Chief Buraimoh attended. Here he was taught printmaking, painting and how to create mosaics with tiles and beads. He went on to specialise in bead paintings, where he strings the beads on cotton thread and then glues them to the board creating texture and depth. He takes inspiration from the grandeur of the traditional Yoruba crowns. In 1972, he represented Nigeria in the First All-African Trade Fair in Nairobi, Kenya, and his artwork has since been internationally exhibited. Condition Report: Framed size 63 x 78cm
