Art allows individuals to channel their innermost thoughts and feelings into a tangible form, creating a unique narrative that speaks volumes about their personal experiences and perspectives. It is through art that people find a voice to express what cannot be put into words, whether it is joy, sorrow, love, or anger. Design, on the other hand, transforms everyday objects and spaces into meaningful and functional art, influencing the way we interact with our surroundings and each other.
As the latter half of the year begins, Lost In Lagos Plus Magazine uses this issue to document the shared artistic mission of Nigerian artists and designers: to create a dialogue that transcends borders and cultural differences, uniting people through common themes and experiences. “Artistic Expressions is dedicated to Nigerian artists and designers who use their talents not only to express themselves but also to make a meaningful impact on society. Their work reminds us of the transformative power of art and design, and their ability to inspire, provoke, and bring about change,” says Elvis Osifo , the Editor-in-Chief.
