| Profile Twin Seven seven is one of the artists who trained under Ulli Beire of the informal Oshogbo art school. Early in his career, he refused to study at the university of Ife under a scholarship scheme because of his belief that art should flourish and mature in a free and unregimented environment. It is this freedom that Twin Seven- Seven have explored and portrayed in his works over the years. His themes are largely mystical and lean toward magical realism. Before he became a visual artist, Twin Seven- Seven has explored his talents in the theater arts while working with a famous theater group in the sixties the Duro Oladipo Theater Company from Western Nigeria.
