A group of artists under the umbrella, 'Same Boundary' have created a plein air art work of Ilaro town in Ogun state.

A plein air art work is a work of art done in open air.

The group including Ariyo Oguntimehin, Nathan Ajibola, Ajibade Akinyemi, Godfrey Afebuame, B.B.Babatunde, Odunmbaku Jabary, Agohor Clement and Lagos-based Reconnect Art Gallery sought to capture the culture and architecture of the ancient town with the project.

Ilaro, located in South-West Ogun state is a border town with Benin Republic which played a historic role in Trans-Atlantic Trade in slave trade during the slave trade era.

Speaking on the project, Oguntimehin Ariyo, coordinator of Same Boundary said:

“We decided to document our culture, architectural design of ancient buildings, which are almost going into extinction, in the future most of the stories and myths surrounding our culture, architecture and masquerades may disappear.”

The group created both paintings and photographs of strategic places in Ilaro including Igoro junction, Igbo Aje, Araromi Ajekunle Street, Orita, Dosumu and Oke Ela.

Thanking the Ilaro monarch, HRM Oba Kehinde Gbadewole Obigbenlen, King of Yewaland for the success of the plein air, pointed out that "culture is being relegated almost to the state of endangered, simply because of low encouragement from parents and government."
