Sam Ovraiti
- Butterfly dreams
|
 |
They say a water colour painting is like
the flutter of a butterfly. Sam Ovraiti
seems to have captured this flutter and
turned it into a series of mesmerising colours,
patterns and rhythms. Ovraiti was born in
1961 in Zaria, a factor which may have influenced
his predilection for northern landscapes,
drovers and milk maids.

Until the end of the second decade of this century,
there was no appreciable introduction of art into
Nigerian primary schools; in fact, what was introduced
was craft. Western form of art had its first informal
appearance around 1895 through a young student,
Aina Onabolu who was born in 1882 in Ijebu-Ode
in the present Ogun state of Nigeria.. Go
