LANABLACK, a solo exhibition of the recent works of Mr. Tunji Lana, will be launched on April 10 by 7pm and run until 17 at the Terra Kulture Art Gallery in Victoria Island, Lagos.

 

The one week extraordinary photography show, which will be unveiling to the world a refreshingly new art form called LANABLACK through his 30 arrays, will showcase the ability of the light-painter to reach into the farthest recesses of his mind and provoke its audience to believe that man can recreate anything in any way that he so desires.

 

“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, added that explained LANABLACK to be a visual interpretation of a mind-set and 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. It springs forth tones and textures, drama over subtlety and subtlety over drama; ultimately taking the viewer though a new experience.

 

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

 

According to Terrakulture’s veteran Curator, Ms. Aderonke Akinyele, Creativity is the use of the imagination, especially in the production of Artistic Work; adding that making a creative photograph (Art) is about objectifying your experience of the world transforming every movement into something visible.

“Exploring Art through Tunji Lana’s creativity helps us understand our environment and how beautiful it is and can be. Surrounding ourselves with Art that can truly be enjoyed and uplifting is an experience we deserve,” she said.
