A man of two worlds, Oyelami is known by many as a master painter while others know him as a great performing artist in music and theatre. He began as an artist in 1964 fresh from the famous Osogbo Art School initiated by Professor Ulli Beier and his wife Georgina Beier. He specialised in Theatre Design at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, where he later taught traditional music from 1975-1987. Oyelami's themes are influenced by Yoruba culture, and the subject matter of his landscapes and portraits are often derived from daily life and individuals. Oyelami's early oil paintings involved abstract representations of life in the city, while by the 1980s his work had become more figurative, trending towards more generic themes. Chief Oyelami founded the Obatala Center for Creative Arts in 1987 to promote traditional arts and culture and has exhibited his works and performed traditional and fusion music in many parts of Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and the USA. He lives and works in Iragbiji in southwestern Nigeria.

MURAINA OYELAMI (Nigerian, b.1940) THREE TRADITIONAL RULERS 1981 Oil on board 89 x 119 cm. (35 x 46 3⁄4 in.) Signed and dated (lower right) $ 5,000-7,000 Born in 1940, Muraina Oyelami is a consummate Renaissance man, as well as a musician, stage actor and renowned painter. He was discovered in the mid-1960s at Mbari Mbayo, an experimental arts workshop program in Osogbo (Osun State, Nigeria). The Mbari Club received creative direction from German professor Ulli Beier, art instruction from English painter Georgina Beier, and patronage from Nigerian theater luminary Duro Ladipo and traditional ruler Oba Samuel Adenle, the Ataojo of Osogbo. The success of the workshops led to the creation of the Osogbo Arts Movement, whose founding members — Twins Seven Seven, Adebisi Fabunmi, Jimoh Buraimoh, Rufus Ogundele — thematically emphasised the quotidian and the festive in Osun cultural life, folktales and mythologies. As Oyelami explained in his 1982 essay on the movement, “at first our works looked rather similar, but with time each artist found his own medium and identity”. Oyelami devised a unique paint application using a palette knife and a roller to create works of sustained geometric eloquence. His works have been exhibited in the United States, Nigeria, England and Germany. In the artist’s own words, his works are "purely imaginative, or the imaginative plus recent happenings. Sometimes I am religious or moral and sometimes I am irreligious, but always I strive to let mood and action become one”. (SK)
