DEMOCRAZY, 2020

Artist: Laolu Senbanjo
Title: Democrazy, 2020
Medium: Ink and Acrylic on Canvas


In this artistic potpourri titled, “Democrazy” visual artist, Laolu Senbanjo, parades images of power outage, police brutality, extortion, injustice among other pictorial digest to parade the varied challenges confronting the Nigerian state. The painting is indubitably motivated by the reverberating ‘Democrazy’ song of iconic Nigerian afrobeat singer, Fela, whose picture also adorns the artwork. Senbanjo lends credence to this by saying, “In the eternal words of King Fela Anikulapo Kuti, demo-crazy, crazy demo, demonstration of craze. When we say #EndSARS, we mean end the culture of impunity across every part of the Nigerian government. Enough is enough!!!’’
