Prince Albert Esiri is a ‘silent worker’. Humble and down to earth, the Executive Chairman of Ashbert Beverages Ltd, a bottling company

in Abraka, Delta State, also owns Abraka Turf and Country Club, which is a world-class resort in Delta State.

It has always been devoted to showcasing contemporary art in all its forms, and modern visitors can expect a spectacular variety of sculpture and paintings, photography and film – coordinated by an artist and a committee of Royal Academicians. “You can even take one home as most of the work is for sale; proceeds support both the exhibiting artist and the RA’s charitable activities,” the organisers say in a statement.

Esiri’s Ikoyi, Lagos will be breathing the same air as that of Akunyili Crosby, whose Bush Babies painting sold for $3.4 million at Sotheby’s New York in 2017, making it the most expensive art sold at an auction on the continent.

Previous years have seen submissions from John Singer Sargent, Thomas Gainsborough, Tracey Emin, Sarah Lucas, Grayson Perry and even Winston Churchill – under a pseudonym. Esiri had just come out of the polo club and there were generators everywhere to power the street light rather than the national grid.The irony that interested him was one piece of light that protected the generator from being stolen.
