“A lot of my work is heavily influenced by the culture of my Yoruba heritage,” said the Nigerian-born visual artist and musician @laolunyc. “I like to see the world in that lens.” His struggle to break through the NYC gallery scene led @laolunyc, a former human rights lawyer, to embrace the idea that everything could be his canvas, from murals to custom-designed clothing. His most recognized work, a form of body painting that he calls “the sacred art of the Ori,” gained renown after appearing in @ビヨンセ’s “Lemonade.” But @laolunyc’s work has also landed at the @ブルックリン美術館 and the @afropunk festival. On average, it takes him between 6 and 8 hours to complete a painting. He draws from personality traits of deities in Yoruba culture before painting words and patterns, on his subjects’ bodies. @sashafoto captured @laolunyc painting @daniebb3, an actress on @oitnb. “When he is so intimately close to your body in that way, he’s seeing all of your scars, all of the things you deem beautiful or all of the things that you don’t like,” she told @ニューヨーク・タイムズ.
