The Crossroads

Artist: Moyo Okediji

Title: The Crossroads

Medium: Gouache on canvas

Date: 1992

I went into my garage and found a harvest of forgotten canvases waiting for me.

This corona break has given me some time to look at what I already have produced.

This is the last painting I did in 1992, just before leaving Nigeria.

You will notice that it is made from gouache.

For the benefit of the younger artists in Nigeria now, it used to be almost impossible to find oil and acrylic in Nigeria in those days. We had to improvise.
