and
your

a
few.
Owner,
Yinka
is
well
known
in
Ibadan,
as
THE
champion
of
Nigerian
art
in
Ibadan,
the
largest
city
in
West
Africa,
in
terms
of
Territory.
Ibadan
is
fondly
known
as
the
city
of
rusted
roofs,
and
is
home
to
Nigeria's
leading
tertiary
institution:
The
University
of
Ibadan
(UI),
the
"Harvard"
of
Nigeria.
Entry
into
UI
is
highly
competitive,
and
UI
hosts
a
robust
university
level
art
program
to
fortify
Ibadan
with
a
cadre
of
highly
skilled
visual
and
performing
artists.
This
makes
Topfat
Art
Gallery
well
placed
in
the
epi-center
of
talent
for
Oyo
state.
A
little
over
an
hour

descendant
of
a
family
of

Nigeria,
who
later
enhanced
his
skills
with
academic
training.

has
named
Aisien's
work
as
outstanding,
phenomenal,
and
superb.

Both

virtuoso's
in
contemporary

Art,
and
African
Art
at
large.
