1983

About the Item

Circle of Prince Twins Seven - Seven (Nigerian, * 3 May 1944 Ogidi, Kogi State, Nigeria – † 16 June 2011, Ibadan, Nigeria) King Sunny Ade 's Jùjú Band making music • Paint on fine canvas or cotton • Recently mounted by me on a modern stretcher, ca. 87 x 60 cm • Inscribed on the drum with ' Ade '83 ' Worldwide shipping for this object is complimentary - There are no additional charges for handling & delivery. It was sold to me as by the artist Prince Twins Seven - Seven and I have no reason to believe otherwise. ... However, the painting is titled, but unsigned. Based on the title, typical style, subject, brush stroke/line and utilized color palette, I am selling as attributed to the artist Prince Twins Seven - Seven. In the 1980s, painter, sculptor and musician Twins Seven Seven toured Nigeria with King Sunny Ade's Jùjú Band. The artist exhibited his works before and after the concerts and sold them all over the world. The painting I am offering here is likely to date from exactly that period. So it could well be by Twins Seven Seven ... certainly by someone from his circle. I am Adrian Stuart Grond trading as ASGrond - Art & Antiques. Passionate collector, purveyor and artist.
