The title sets out the idea behind the show. As the second edition of
the Lineage of Masters series, it looks at how artistic knowledge passes
from one generation to the next, and at how that inheritance shows up in
contemporary practice. The line-up is built to reflect this. The late artist Grillo
himself is among the exhibitors, alongside T. A. Fasuyi, Bruce Onobrakpeya,
Jerome Elaiho, Kolade Oshinowo, Dele Jegede, Bernard Aina and Abiodun Olaku.
They are joined by Ade Ogundimu, Adeola Balogun, Ato Arinze, Ben Nwosa, Bunmi
Babatunde and Duke Asidere.
The list continues with Edosa Ogiugo, Fidelis Odogwu, Hassan Aliyu,
Jerry Buhari, Juliet Ezenwa-Pearse and Kehinde Sanwo. Kunle Adeyemi, Lara
Ige-Jacks, Lekan Onabanjo, Odun Orimolade, Olusegun Adejumo, Sam Ebohon and Sam
Ovraiti complete the list. With so many names in one exhibition, visitors can
expect a wide range of styles, subjects and approaches, shown side by side in
one place.
The opening takes place at the museum, located at 74 Ogunlowo Street,
Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria. After the opening, the exhibition continues from
Tuesday, October 27, 2026, and ends on Wednesday, December 16, 2026. The museum
will receive visitors from Tuesday to Saturday, beginning at 10:00 a.m., so the
show can be seen on weekdays as well as on Saturdays. Closing is at 4:00 p.m.
A run of nearly eight weeks gives art lovers, students, collectors and
families plenty of time to plan a visit. It also makes the exhibition a useful
stop for anyone who wants to see work by several established Nigerian artists
without moving from gallery to gallery.
