Nigerian-born, London-based artist Olaoulu Slawn (b. 2000 in Lagos, Nigeria) combines both his Yoruba heritage and contemporary youth culture. Slawn exists outside of the traditional art world, and has fostered his own online following of devoted admirers. He satirises modern society, playing with tongue in cheek, stereotypes and caricatures. Bold, primary coloured portraits make for striking canvases.
