Tunde Owolabi & Ejiro Amos Tafiri

Laurent-Perrier Champagne and Arabas Homemade recently sponsored the “Woven Beauty Exhibition” – a realization of the wealth of the Nigerian culture and art.

The opening night was an exciting VIP evening at the Red Door Gallery as the artist, designer and photographer – Tunde Owolabi collaborated with Laurent Perrier Champagne and Arabas Homemade to treat ‘Lagosians’ to a combination of fine art, photography, sound/video art installations, fashion and live performances.

Aso-Oke “The Woven Beauty” exhibition is a culmination of two years of creative research and work by Tunde Owolabi to deepen the understanding of a textile making tradition with centuries of history behind it. The exhibition has been recognized as a “contemporary history lesson” in the art and skill behind the Aso-Oke design process.

Laurent-Perrier Champagne and Araba’s homemade were great hosts as guests from the art, business, fashion & diplomatic communities enjoyed fine champagne and food while admiring the beautiful art & photography on display.
