R is for Rom Isichei

Posted in:

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
Time - 4:00pm
Venue - Nike Art Gallery, 3rd roundabout, Lekki, Lagos

Rom was kind enough to let me have some behind the scene pictures for my blog. Enjoy...

  2. I quite like some of his pieces Myne, thank you. I'm adding him to today's posts. Unfortunately we cancelled going up West this week and postponed for June. Now I'm :( ... my hubby's still going but he has zero appreciation for such things.The man's life would have absolutely no flavour if not for me LOL. Thank you for this. I love faces and torsos.
