This limited triptych showcases a black and white image sketched out by Slawn in his London coffee shop Beaubeaus. The slightly smudged lines give this piece a multi-dimensionality, intensified further by overlapping imagery.
While at first the artwork may be perceived as a collection of doodles, upon closer inspection one can make out some instantly-recognizable characters from the visual world of Slawn.
The Artist
Olaolu Slawn (b. 2000, Lagos, Nigeria) is a Nigerian-British artist and designer whose energetic practice brings together street art, graffiti, pop imagery, and Abstract Expressionism. His bold paintings feature playful, cartoon-like figures, exaggerated faces, vivid colors, and expressive marks, drawing on his Yoruba heritage and contemporary themes around identity, race, and society.
Slawn’s creative journey began in Lagos skate culture, where he worked at Wafflesncream and co-founded the streetwear collective Motherlan, before moving to London. He began painting during the 2020 lockdown and quickly developed a distinctive visual language that has since extended into large-scale murals, design, and collaborations. In 2023, he became the youngest and first Nigerian-born artist to design the BRIT Awards statuette and set.
