Goje Player

Born in 1943, Chief Jimoh Buraimoh attended the workshops conducted by Ulli Beier and Georgina Beier in Oshogbo in the early 1960s. He is one of the most recognized artists to have emerged from the Oshogbo Art workshops. He is best known for his remarkable bead works which appear painterly as he carefully blends in the hues of the beads in making pictorial representations.

Goje Player is a classic bead painting showing a traditional musician playing the goje, a stringed instrument prominent in the Northern parts of Nigeria. In his unique style of rendition, Jimoh uses very colourful beads of different shades for this figurative expression of great aesthetic quality.
