Kolade Oshinowo, the Master painter and portraitist, a veritable storehouse of creative genius.

Over the years Kolade Oshinowo has consistently produced engaging works drawing the viewer in as a participant rather than an admirer. His paintings engage the world around him; communicating that indeed "art is life".

Kolade Oshinowo is brilliantly talented in his vivacious use of colour. The depth of character in his landscape compositions seem to envelope the viewer in the very atmosphere he is creating. Simple everyday scenes are transformed into complex thought provoking masterpieces. Social commentary through imagery and his uncanny ability to use juxtaposition as an enhancer of his message stands Kolade Oshinowo out in the art world.

His paintings in ones collection refuse to be stored away, the humanity in their composition beckoning for space to breathe, to talk, to live. Even his large canvasses feel intimate, their size being consumed in the familiarity and personal rapport they establish with the viewer.
