Abayomi Barber (Nigerian, 1928-2021) Seascape
Procedencia : Abayomi Barber was best known for his application of surrealism to his artworks and his acute talent for producing naturalistic sculptures and paintings. Born in Ile-Ife in 1928, Barber would go on to study sculpture at Yaba College of Technology in Lagos. He later studied art in London while also working as an assistant to artist Obafemi Awolowo before returning to Lagos in 1971 to lecture at the University of Lagos. Following his experience of the demeaning expectations of European artists, Barber informally set up the Abayomi Barber School of Art. Its core ethos was grounded in debunking these low Western perceptions of African artists and making conceptual and surrealist art forms accessible and universal to African artists' practices.
