BattaBox presenter Odunayo Oti meets Yemisi Shylon, a prince in Ogun state. His private art collection dates includes artwork from the 9th century to the 21st century. He also feels it’s his duty to promote culture and art, and is setting up a gallery for the next generation to appreciate these magnificent works of art.

“I started collecting art work while I was at the university of Ibadan,” explains Yemisi Shyllon. “It grew into a passion and now a glorious obsession.”

Yemisi Shylon’s home and garden are filled with paintings and sculptures. At the entrance two large Eyo statues stand guard to welcome you and bid you farewell.

One of his favorite pieces of art is “The Pygmy in the Bronx Zoo” painted by a Nigerian lawyer.

“In Yoruba mythology the head is very powerful. You see that Obatala emphasises the importance of the head,” says Yemisi Shyllon as he shows his collection and a large female head sculpture in his garden.

Do you enjoy Nigerian art work? Have you bought any?

“My mum left because she and my dad they have issues. Ever since she left she has not called us. It’s only me and my brother. I’m struggling for both of us to eat,” the young man tells Timothy.
He looked for a job but was unable to find one so he had to find another way to feed himself – carving beautiful jewellery from coconuts.

“Sometimes I will not see food to eat morning to evening…sometimes I will even injure myself doing my carving,” he explains to Timothy.

“I started learning how to make crowns soon after I left secondary school,” he explains to Odunayo.

“You know kings have always been crowned since before I was born. Some even come with a picture of their ancestor’s crown for me to remake for them.”

“This type is called Peke. It’s for traditional chiefs,” he shows Odunayo a small crown before taking her around the rest of his shop.

Nigeria is bursting with talented artists, sculptors…So BattaBox sent Fluorin YP to meet a young painter to not only find out about his work but also paint a souvenir to take home!

“I love painting nature because nature is beautiful,” he tells YP.

“I’ve been in this profession for not more than six years.”

“How did it start?” YP asks.

“I was born as an artist, I practiced…I went to school to study art,” he explains.

What do you think?

The post Talented Nigerian Artist Paints ANYTHING from Scratch appeared first on NaijaTube.

The aim?

To find out how he makes beautiful sculptures, with nothing but clay and his bare hands and of course, Fluorin YP had a go and hmmmmm let’s just say, sculpting isn’t as easy as it looks!

“When I got to school, my dream then was to be a painter…but I saw some sculptures and it blew my mind!” David admits.

“I want you to sculpt my camera man, can you do it?” YP asks in awe of David’s talent.

“Of course I can,” David laughs.

“Maybe it’s because you have been looking at his face very well, I will pick somebody, brother…please come,” YP chooses a random person.

…and of course YP wasn’t going to miss the opportunity to show us what he can do.

“I want to make your head…ok let’s start,” he insists.

Watch the video to see the final products.

For bookings contact David on +2348024928317.
