The way Air Ink uses pollution to fight pollution mirrors the way graffiti writers humanise the chaos and grime of the city through acts people often call pollutive. By bringing the city to life through my design I hope to also to find a form of progress beyond our modern extreme consumerist culture.
NUNCA
Bringing issues of history, race, and ethnicity to the forefront of his work, the Brazilian artist Nunca has shaped a distinctive aesthetic that is as richly ornate as it is political. He mixes indigenous themes and traditional artistic crafts with thoroughly modern subject matter and material techniques.

It’s not the easiest thing to encapsulate the magnificent essence of Lagos as a city, but where ever angle you decide to look at it as an artist, the city has more than enough exuberance to offer.
