Lawrence Meju's work creates vibrant collages that embody a unique storytelling approach, using textures and shapes to illustrate life experiences. Resuming his artistic practice during the 2020 lockdown, Meju transformed found materials into narratives. His art focuses on themes such as fragmentation and identity, depicting human forms and familiar objects as bold shapes full of emotional resonance. Each piece represents a reinvention, showcasing how life transforms over time through layered interactions of color and form.
The Lagos-based artist builds vivid, textured collages that feel like tiny, self-contained worlds, chronicling life through a visual journal.
Meju's art lives in the space where the personal and the universal overlap, reducing human forms into bold shapes that pulse with emotion.
I am currently engaging with themes of fragmentation, reinvention, and identity. Each collage is a reinvention, echoing the way life reshapes itself over time.
Layers stack and interact like conversations, with colors popping against muted backgrounds and shapes influencing the narrative dynamic.
