ARTLANTA (Lawal Izuagbe) is a Miami-based multidimensional artist originally from Atlanta, Georgia. Born to Nigerian immigrants, ARTLANTA developed his passion for art through graffiti in his early years. His unique paint-splatter style, which blends vibrant colors with bold, energetic strokes, has made him a standout in the art world. He is best known for painting luxury and exotic cars owned by celebrities and millionaires, including high-profile collaborations with figures like Morohoshi from Japan and Ahmed Amwell from Dubai.
ARTLANTA gained further acclaim after selling a portrait of Donald Trump for $60,000, an artwork that featured his signature dynamic style, demonstrating his ability to blend political subjects with high-concept artistic elements. The painting highlighted ARTLANTA’s versatility and boldness in tackling controversial and influential figures in contemporary society.
His career took off during the COVID-19 pandemic, when he began creating art full-time. One of his earlier viral pieces was a portrait of Pablo Escobar, completed in just 20 minutes, which helped cement his efficiency and unique creative process. Now, ARTLANTA’s works are sought after worldwide, with his recent sale of a Muhammad Ali painting for over $40,000 adding to his growing legacy. Inspired by Jean-Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol, ARTLANTA continues to push boundaries, both artistically and culturally.
