Self-proclaimed "scam" artist, Olaolu Slawn, has announced the latest move in his industrious career with the unveiling of his brand-new family-run cafe in East London.

Slawn is known for his larger-than-life canvases featuring energetic pop figures, bold colors, and enticing shapes. His artwork has traveled far and wide, from his home in Lagos to his current place of residency in London. In the five years since Slawn moved to London, he has quickly established himself as one of the UK's most popular creatives. He has worked closely with the likes of Clint419 on Corteiz's viral collection campaigns, while also co-signing a slew of UK-based streetwear brands, such as Hillside, Peachy Den, and Places+Faces.

Slawn's impressive artwork has also granted him the opportunity to design the most recent BRIT Award trophy, which merges his graffiti-style artwork and reflects his humble Lagos roots across the sleek bronze sculpture.

Slawn's new cafe aims to encapsulate all of his interests in fashion, artwork, and music. It will be a place for visitors to relax and be their unapologetic selves. Taking to Instagram, Slawn said: "Welcome to Beau Beaus Cafe, our family-run cafe opening soon. For all you bastards to enjoy and fully be your bastard selves. Nice way to celebrate my fifth year in LUNDUN, amen."
