        Jan. 08, 2024

        Akin Fakeye (Nigeria, 1936 - ) c. 1975 Signed Hand Carved Wood Figural Sculpture

        Est: -

        Signed on the bottom. The Fakeye family of Nigeria Africa is very well known as an extremely talented family of master craftsmen. The intricate style of carving that they are known for has been passed down from father to son for many generations. The first master carver in the Fakeye family was Olawoyin Fakeye. He was given the honorific title ‘Fakeye’ by the King of Ila. Along with the title, the descendants of Olawoyin Fakeye also inherited the skill and creativity that secured the family a reputation as expert carvers. Their immediately recognizable style of carvings are increasingly being appreciated by a growing number of art connoisseurs. The Fakeye carvings are incredibly intricate and the attention to detail that their carvings have, has to be seen to be appreciated, as photographs really does them no justice. Akin Fakeye was one of founding members of the Oyo State Woodcarver Association, which is an association set up to further the appreciation of quality woodcarving to a wider audience and also help develop a new generation of master carvers.
