Tayo Gbenga Bankole

Oil painting and printmaking artist

  • 🇳🇬 Awka, Anambra, Nigeria
  • The Frangipani Pottery
  • Since 1984
  • English, Yoruba
I work mostly in oil painting, sometimes printmaking. My first show was in 1984 at The Frangipani Pottery, and nobody came except my family and one confused dog. Most of my work is inspired by the sea. I make terrible puns.
