My people, e be like say Ibadan no wan sleep as dem gather for David Olatoye exhibition wey just close!

Na two days of jollof and creative vibes wey burst brain. The exhibition wey dem call ‘To Your Doorstep’ happen for New Culture Studio. Na him first big show for dat city wey sabi give artist their shine.

Curated by the one and only Francis Ugbomeh wey we dey call Papi, e bring plenty people come, from artists, writers, collectors, to students wey sabi anything wey concern creativity. People wey come from Ibadan, Osogbo and Abeokuta no hold back, dem show say dem dey support their own!

As dem dey waka around the exhibition, e clear say Olatoye na still hot cake for the scene. E no be only artist; na community champion wey sabi how to blend creativity with community. Papi talk say, “David don always get faith for power wey community fit bring, and the crowd wey come show say this no be just exhibition; na family reunion!

The paintings wey dem display, na work wey he don dey do from 2021 to 2025. Some of dem na fresh works wey e never show for Ibadan before, and trust me, the way e dey explore themes like family and memory na wah!

As the exhibition dey go on, Olatoye dey feel all the love wey dey flow. E talk say, “The love was massive. To show these works here, among the people and places wey shape dem, make the whole thing jell well.” E no fit hide happiness, and who go blame am? First time wey him community fit connect well with wetin he don create!

So my people, if you dey for Ibadan or you sabi any artist wey dey drop fire like Olatoye, make you no miss the next one. Creative affair wey dey bring joy and unity, na wetin we need for this obodo! Catch you later!
