About
King Uranta is a self-taught visual artist and designer based in Lagos, Nigeria. Grounded in a professional graphic design background, his practice expanded into 3D composition and animation in 2019, and continues to evolve through an ongoing exploration of photography and design.
For King, these varying mediums are tools to articulate the psychological weight and complexity of life. Each piece he develops becomes a reflection of thought and emotion, translated through color, texture, and form.
Whether crafting introspective visual pieces or conceptualizing future physical objects, his art is a demand for pause, inviting viewers to confront their own realities and connect with the profound sincerity of the moment.
King’s work has earned international recognition through exhibitions in New York, Art Dubai, and Art Basel Miami, alongside a collaboration with Art X Lagos for their Art X Live showcase. Beyond gallery spaces, King has collaborated with a wide range of musical artists locally and internationally, bringing his visual language into the world of music.
Driven by rigorous conceptual experimentation, his practice is actively pushing beyond the screen. While his current work is rendered digitally, King is laying the structural groundwork to eventually translate his 3D concepts into tangible, physical sculptures.
