LAWYARTIST

Law-yar-ar-teest

On a personal mission to tip the skewed perception of Nigerian art as the embodiment of trauma, L creates only from his place of fun and joy.

The result is carefree yet meticulous work, usually based on contemporary themes and constant experimentation.

Let's work!

Character design: Naira cat (2022 - ), the villain of my story. A visual representation of power, greed and manipulation. In hindsight I can see I must have been inspired by Professor Rattigan, Moriarty, Joker, The Claw, Robotnik etc.

Super Flowered Kensho (2026): I had a blast creating this from the sketch to final stages and making this video to explain what it all means. ✨ @mrkensho

It’s going to be a busy year. ✌🏽

Day 1, not waiting for the new year. The date is meaningless without the mindset. Every time I wake up I’m ready to make magic and grow. ✨

#NEONII: these past few weeks have been ridiculously tough and certainly not when I would have expected to have a (sucessful) solo exhibition. BUT you can have results or excuses, you can’t have both.

I literally have hundreds of photos, videos and everything in between but chose just a few for this post. Enjoy. 🖤

(ZOOM IN 😍) I’m so excited to round the year up with my second solo exhibition of all time, NEON II. This exhibition got me out of the longest art block I’ve experienced as an artist.

All made within the last 14 months in my studio space at @mpndprojects. These are my thoughts made tangible in the most authentic, confident and connected I’ve felt in a while. I would love if you come through to support me. 🖤

EXPRESS YOURSELF: Painted this skateboard last night, grew a year older this morning. 🎈 See you on Saturday at @artfestnottingham .
