Have A Good Time

SLAN Collective is showcasing a selection of his illustrative works for Ungalleried. Lawrence Amajuoyi, the artist of SLAN Collective, notes that the influences on these illustrations stem from manga that in his works are elevated to the style of Fine Art. From Fullmetal Alchemist, YuYu Hakusho, Tenchi Muyo, Devilman & I, Amajuoyi recalls watching and reading these stories with unique authentic styles for a long time. Eventually, this fascination was to manifest itself as his principle art inspiration. Amajuoyi works are full of stories, characters and people that exist in a fantasy world — however, for the artist, it is a practice that links him to reality. Thinking of the ‘characters’ in his life, from family and friends to acquaintances, Amajuoyi tells the stories of those around him. In creating a manga-fantasy through his artworks, Amajuoyi states that it is the beginning of his journey to create his own world and life.
