Spotlight | Afro-surrealist Artist David Alabo on rendering his piece ‘Divine Opulence’ for ‘Lovecraft Country: Sanctum’
“ In the ideation of 'Lovecraft Country: Sanctum', The Mill Experience creative team toyed with various methods of collaborating with current Afrofuturist artists - from pondering a live sculpt in VR, and eventually landing on a vision to recreate their artwork as a VR experience.
We came across David Alabo's surrealist pieces which are stunning and naturally entice viewers to want to be a part of his worlds. David presented 'Divine Opulence', a breathtaking desert scene in which a skull and a pair of praying hands rose up from glittering sands to tower over us.”
