Laolu Senbanjois a visual artist, musician and performer. When looking at his artwork, you

are embarking on a journey. You will meet people, visit neighborh

oods of New York City or be

transported to his hometown of Nigeria, and you will hear his music. Laolu’s rich cultural background and involvement in human rights add more narratives to the story

his art shares. He is known for his large scale charcoal and painted works, and has often brought them to life before a crowd at live local events.“ My art is spiritual. Nothing in life happens by accident. Art is what you call it. Life is what you make it. Every symbol has a meaning. Every face has an expression. The different patterns tell their own stories.”
