Location and Environmental Settings The Osogbo area where the present study is confined is located within latitude 7[degrees]6'N & 7[degrees]15'N and longitude 3[degrees]17'E & 3[degrees]25'E and covers about 268[km.
This is because, if the character and forms of the productions of workshop centers such as Osogbo (1963-1966), Frank McEwen's stone carvers in Zimbabwe (1958-1973), or the artists of Ruth Schaffner's Gallery Watatu in Nairobi (1990s) were usually naive, with the artists having little if any Western education (Kasfir 1999), the Abayomi Barber School artists, equally poorly educated, produce super-realistic works described as no different from those of the formally trained (Adepegba 1996).
Wenger, along with other artists, created the shrines in the Sacred Groves -- a wood in the town of Osogbo, in which the internationally renowned school of art of the same name originated.
