slawn

Slawn, born Olaolu Akeredolu-Ale in Lagos in 2000, is a British-Nigerian artist whose radical approach to art has disrupted traditional norms and captivated the contemporary art scene. His work challenges conventions through several key aspects.Slawn's style merges street art with abstract expressionism, addressing themes of politics, race, and identity. His works often feature bold, cartoonish figures with exaggerated features, serving as social commentary on issues like racism and cultural stereotypes .

Self-described as a "scam artist," Slawn embraces a persona that blurs the lines between authenticity and performance. He often downplays his own work, stating, "I don't even know why people want this shit... I wouldn't buy this shit. I just have no interest in my art. I make it so I can fuck about" .
