Olu Amoda





A Nigerian artist/sculptor who has with his interesting take on things has transformed some of this societies security fears into art. Unfortunately at the moment I can't seem to find any pictures of the security gates (you can see some of them here though) he designs, but they are essentially artistic creations using found objects which fuse together apects of design and security. In a country where burgulary is rife, where every wall/door/window is guarded by barbed wire, broken glass or razor wire his 'doors of paradise and windows of dreams' (as he describes them) are a refreshing version of what is common.
