Busayo Lawal: Serene Path

Serene Path by Busayo Lawal is an evocative exploration of urban life through abstraction. Blue lines sweep across the canvas, guiding the viewer’s eye along a tranquil journey, while subtle hints of red buses interspersed throughout add a touch of movement and energy. Lawal’s abstraction is not mere decoration but a tool of transmission, inviting viewers into a world of contemplation. Viewers are encouraged to delve deeper into the layers of meaning as this piece captures the harmony between serenity and the bustling energy of urban spaces.

For Lawal, the method is inconsequential to the message. In his eyes, the abstraction of his paintings serves as a tool of transmission instead of abstraction for the sake of being. Using this tool, Lawal devises idiosyncratic figures and patterns that aim to “create an engaged visual experience.”
