Chief Jimoh Adetunji Buraimoh is Africa's first bead painter, a mosaicist and one of the leading lights of the Osogbo School of Art, which ignited the 'African Art Explosion' in the early sixties. This book is an autobiographical account of his life and art, illuminating his three decades of involvement in visual arts. His journey covers childhood, his time as a stage manager at the famous Duro Ladipo Theatre, and his emergence as a leading international artist. The book is enhanced with colour photos of his vibrantly coloured bead paintings, mosaic murals, etchings and other media.
