For thirty years Lemi Ghariokwu's colorful paintings were found wrapped around the music of Nigeria's most charismatic and notorious musician, Fela Kuti. Lemi's distinctive images of Africa - angry, sexy, cheeky, righteous- were known and owned by hundreds of thousands of people across three continents. This new exhibition brings together the best of Lemi's work and reveals how creative and repressive movements in 1970's Lagos helped give birth to the Afrobeat phenomenon.
