PEOPLE
ONLY.
Inspired by the principles of existentialism, Roach is a collection of artistic works by L.K.Ifayemi, where madness prevails and the dialectic reigns supreme.
ABOUT
My work aims to giving authorship and dialectic visibility to unconventional thought, inspired by unique characters, with a strong sense of purpose, difference and intent.
In doing so, ROACH hopes to provide a much-needed platform for the existential narrative, and facilitate philosophical inquiry, to challenge our assumptions about knowledge, reality and existence.
Art
With each series / collection exploring a different thesis or topic, ROACH artworks include drawings, paintings and sculptures – all of which are comprised of two parts or elements, known as volumes.
Literature
Written works by L.K.Ifayemi borrow from the world of film / cinema to re-imagine, intellectualise and narrate the most profound of human stories - covering journey's of difference, trauma, struggle and triumph.
BIO
L.K.Ifayemi is an entrepreneur, artist and writer, whose works aim to give a voice to the rebellious, the disobedient and the insatiable – of which he is one.
"For me, the ROACH narrative is eclectic and autobiographical. It is a true reflection of myself - my virtues, my values and my outlook.
In the lives of the invisible, the forgotten and the forsaken, I seek to capture some element of truth - through the smaller moments we often overlook and / or take for granted.
These everyday, bygone and seemingly trivial nothings, are more important and truthful than any other. These are the moments between the momentous."
- L.K.Ifayemi
