Twin seven seven

Prince Twins Seven Seven (bürgerlich Prince Taiwo Olaniyi Wyewale-Toyeje Oyelale Osuntoki; * 1944 in Ogidi, Nigeria) ist ein zeitgenössischer nigerianischer Maler, Musiker, Schriftsteller und Schauspieler.

Biografie

Seine Karriere begann in den 1960er Jahren, als er Kunstkurse von Ulli Beier und dessen Frau, Georgina Beier, in Osogbo, einer Yoruba-Stadt im Südwesten Nigerias, besuchte. Sein Werk ist geprägt von der Religion der Yoruba. Heute zählt er zu den bedeutendsten Vertretern der Oshogbo Schule und kann auf Ausstellungen in namhaften Museen und Galerien weltweit zurückblicken. Hierzu zählen beispielsweise das Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris oder das Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Sein Name Twins Seven Seven leitet sich angeblich davon ab, dass er der einzige überlebende Sohn von sieben Zwillingspaaren sei, die seine Mutter gebar. Er selbst soll in frühen Kinderjahren zeitweilig ebenfalls schwer erkrankt gewesen sein.

Im Jahr 2005 wurde Twins Seven Seven von der UNESCO zum Artist of Peace ernannt.
