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?

Lagos @ 50 has no doubt been one the most remarkable celebration in Lagos as a State. Maintaining its culture and heritage seems to be the drive as the celebration not only took turn to have interesting culture centered events but also has the city beautified with interesting artworks and statues in strategic places.

Battabox Sent Folly and BollyLomo to the street of Lagos to enjoy the beautiful sights of the statues and also ask people what the artworks means to them. The team met with the man who designed the big foot.

Here are some of the comments:

“I can see policemen in uniform, other tribes i guess”

“I can see religion in it, i can see tradition in it as well”

“It means that pedestrian should be very careful when crossing the road”

“It means that one of the gods has put their legs down in Lagos”

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.
