Meet Laolu Senbanjo, the New York City-based artist behind the body art in Beyoncé’s new visual album "Lemonade."
The Nigerian-born artist, who goes mononymously by Laolu, told ABC News today he finally saw his Yoruba body art come to life for the first time on Saturday evening when Beyoncé’s project aired on HBO.
Laolu's body paintings, which he calls the "Sacred Art of the Ori" appear in the fourth chapter of "Lemonade" titled "Apathy," which features the song "Sorry."
Dancers adorned in Laolu's white Yoruba body paint move and sway while seated on a bus with Beyoncé, who recites a haunting monologue inspired by a poem by Somali-British poet Warsan Shire.
