Multi-talented artist and photographer, Lakin Ogunbanwo with
the support of Moet & Chandon on 3rd December, 2014 held a one-day solo art
exhibition titled - ’12: 03’.
The exhibition took place at A Whitespace Lagos. ’12:03’ was
titled after the 3rd of December, which marked a significant day in the life of
the photographer. The well-styled exhibition is the first of its kind.
The 10-piece photographic collection explores gender
sexuality. Aesthetically, Lakin uses his photographs as tools to paint an image
of a modern man who is filled with the excitement of adorning different
coloured hair pieces.
Lakin’s zest for details and bold versatility; his strong
visual style and artistry have tremendous influence on his exquisite direction
of modern photography.
The exhibition had
array of celebrities like Ebuka Ucheindu-Obi, Zara Okpara, Dimeji Alara, Rukky
Ladoja, Debola Falana and many more in attendance.
