Grew out of the Mbari Mbayo club and the workshops of Ulli and Georgina Beier, Susanne Wenger and Duro Ladipo in the early 1960s. Artists with little or no formal art training drew on Yoruba myth, orisa worship, folktales and the life of the town.
Bold, flat colour and outline; dense pattern filling the picture; figures from Yoruba myth and the orisa; beadwork, batik and adire techniques; lino and metal relief; a strong sense of storytelling.
