The concept and structure of the gallery derives from the artist’s vision of Lagos as a city that is harsh, forceful and constantly in a flux. In spite of these characteristics, she notes, the city leaves a lasting impression on most people visiting for the first time.
Aderinokun claims that her passion for art was rekindled during the period she lived in San Francisco, USA.
“I was constantly surrounded by art in San Francisco and this really inspired me to start painting again. Before then, I dropped it because I couldn’t see a possible career prospect,” she says.
After graduating from college, she spent a year working at the Cartoon Arts Museum in San Francisco before returning to Nigeria.
