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.

In The People of Hope, Jimoh depicts faces of people using shapes and forms which merge to form figural representation of persons. The careful use of beads in producing such intricate details in a regular pattern is very remarkable as it portrays a lot of patience and skill. The careful restriction of some beads to specific areas of the composition gives off the effect of a calculated masterpiece.
