Rom Isichei is an amazing Nigerian painter, and someone I know personally.
His works blow me away, though I'm still saving up for the day I'll be able to afford the ones I really like. I recently found out that he was having his third Solo exhibition titled Quiet Spaces in Lagos;
Date and - Saturday, May 14, 2011
