A Nigerian-born visual artist, musician, activist and human rights attorney, @laolunyc knew at a very early age that art was his destined path. Filmed here by @kgprojects, Laolu, after practicing law for a few years, moved to New York where he treats the city as his canvas, painting on human bodies, walls and other objects. The riches of the Yoruba culture passed down from his grandmother guide the way he tells artistic stories. He describes his craft as “Afromysterics,” which he defines as the mystery of the African thought pattern. When Laolu started putting art on human bodies, he said he discovered that people loved customized storytelling, which made him customize his art for them. With patterns and human elements that spring from the individual, his work ignites conversations. His art has been seen by the thousands, whether on social media or by people walking the pavement of New York City streets. One of those viewers was a fellow artist by the name of Beyoncé Knowles-Carter. In 2016, she and her team reached out to Laolu to be a part of her Grammy Award-winning masterpiece “Lemonade.” Since then, Laolu has worked with more celebrities and collaborated with various brands including Nike and Kenneth Cole. The humble, kind and soulful artist has continued to seek new pathways of expression. // #BlackHistoryMonth #WeBuiltThis #BlackHistoryBuiltThis // Interview by: @brennan.dubose
