Back in the early 1990s, on a trip to visit family in Ibadan, I visited a local artist's home/studio. His work was intricate, complex and fascinating, and he was there to walk us through it, which was a little intimidating. There, I acquired a modest, elegant, abstract batik (the only one I could, as a student, afford) that has graced every bedroom I've lived in since.

Tonight, for some reason, the artist's name popped to mind, and I wondered, is Tunde Odunlade still creating?

He is, apparently. Thank you so much for sharing his work!
