Laolu Senbanjo, otherwise known as “Laolu NYC,” is a Nigerian-bred, Brooklyn-based multidisciplinary artist with a wide-spanning background with music and performing arts, visual art, human rights law, and activism. Having started his career in law, Senbanjo has always sought out to help others reveal their truth. To do this, he navigates in the way that comes most natural to him: through never-ending depths of his artwork.
Senbanjo is guided by the idea that all things; be it paper, walls, people, buildings, cars, you name it — are his canvas. By placing his artwork on just about anything and everything he can get his hands on, Senbanjo seeks to leave a part of his art and Yoruba heritage wherever he goes through one canvas at time.
Senbanjo has worked with well-known personalities such as Beyoncé, Burna Boy, Serena Williams, Swizz Beatz, Alicia Keys, Bad Bunny and Lupita Nyongo, and many more have experienced the adornment of his unique technique, coined the Sacred Art of the Ori. In 2016, his work was featured on Beyoncé’s 2016 Grammy Award-winning album, “Lemonade.”
He has graced the covers of The New York Times and been featured in The Fader, Vogue, Vice, CNN, BBC, and more. His ever-growing list of collaborations include those such as Llardo, The Recording Academy, Parkwood, Nike, Equinox Fitness, Belvedere, Bvlgari and TED.
