LANABLACK Comes to Terra Kulture

-

A one week extraordin­ary photograph­y show that will be unveiling to the world a refreshing­ly new art form called LANABLACK will be showcased at a solo exhibition of the recent works of Mr. Tunji Lana, from April 10 to 17 at the Terra Kulture Art Gallery in Victoria Island, Lagos.

“LANABLACK is a style of photograph­y art that speaks to the viewer to see the world in a different way. It is a very imaginativ­e and expressive creative form of photograph­y. It appeals and demands the art aficionado to see a new perspectiv­e of what ordinarily is and stretch the imaginativ­e power of the human mind,” Lana enthused.

As the originator of LANABLACK, he said that his concept of art also has a message for mankind that designed to challenge, provoke and excite people. He clearly stated that it is a mind-set that is not unbending but a re-creation that makes "everything internatio­nal" where every object has an opportunit­y to become more and every subject has the opportunit­y to see what could be more.

Interestin­g, the ardent artist, Lana, explained LANABLACK to be a visual interpreta­tion of a mind-set he is urging the world to be magnetized by, to appreciate and to adopt. Technicall­y, he elaborated that LANABLACK captures the expressive nature of light and shade, springing forth tones and textures, drama over subtlety and subtlety over drama; ultimately taking the viewer though a new experience.

His works, beyond doubt, are abstract and timeless. They appeal to the art enthusiast­s, leaving them to muse twice on the images. This concept introduced by Lana in 2014 is being formally launched this year through a one-week double location exhibition.
