    GANI ODUTOKUN (Nigerian,1946-1995) HURLY BURLY 1 1990 Oil on canvas 43 x 60 cm. (17 x 23 1⁄2 in.) Signed and dated (lower left) $ 5,000-7,000 As a professor at Ahamdu Bello University, Zaria, from 1976 until his untimely death in 1995, Gani Odutokun influenced a generation of contemporary artists in Nigeria. Working in drawing, sculpture, architectural design, writing, and political cartoons, Odotokun is primarily known as a painter who emphasised colour and tone as integral design elements. While his early career was defined by subject matter relating to his Northern Nigerian cultural surroundings, Odotokun also explored elements of abstraction that emphasised fluid lines, textured surfaces, and free-flowing brush strokes. Odutokun began experimenting with a process using liquidated oils poured directly on the canvas, creating unpredictable and layered forms. Born in Ghana in 1946 to Nigerian parents, Odutokun graduated from Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, in 1975 and obtained his Masters of Fine Arts in 1979. Odutokun participated in over thirty- five exhibitions during his lifetime, including exhibitions in Zaria, Kaduna, Lagos, Kassel and Bonn in Germany, and Liverpool and Bradford in the UK. His wall murals, garden sculptures, and book covers were commissioned by many organisations in Kaduna, Zaria and Abuja. Odutokun was a leading member of the Zaria- based intellectual publication entitled The Eye, which published a quarterly journal of art criticism.
