Isaac Ojo Fajana
Artist, from Omuo-Ekiti, Nigeria
Isaac Ojo is an incredibly talented artist living in Oshogbo who has still not received the recognition he is due. He is accomplished in printmaking, adire, batik, and embroidery which is the medium he concentrates on now. Isaac's large amorphous forms which flow and recede, and his use of bright colors result in stiking compostions. His embroideries of animals in the forest or his pieces on the Oshogbo sacred river festival are fantastic mesmerizing wall hangings.
