Coming out of Oshogbo, Nigeria in the late 1960's, Tunde Odunlade, is one of the leading figures in the resurgence of traditional African art. More than just a painter, he works with hand-made paper, print-making, textiles, and the intricate art of batik. He has exhibited internationally and was the first African artist to exhibit at the Arts Festival of Atlanta in 1987.
In addition to his art, Odunlade plays the flute, the agidigbo and the congos and manages his own music and dance troupe.
