OLAOLUSLAWN TRANSFORMS GRILLZ INTO FINE ART WITH KABIL COLLABORATION

By Chief Editor | 3/14/2026

Nigerian-British artist Olaolu Slawn, known for designing the 2023 BRIT Awards statuette, has collaborated with Birmingham grillz specialist Kabil to create custom dental jewelry inspired by his pop art style. The partnership represents a new frontier where fine art meets luxury accessories.

Key Points

## THE ART WORLD MEETS DENTAL LUXURY Olaolu Slawn is a Nigerian designer and artist. Most of his works include spray paint, large-scale pop art canvases, graffiti, caricatures and murals. Now he is taking those same visual languages and applying them to grillz. The collaboration with Kabil's Grillz represents something unprecedented in the luxury accessories space. While grillz have evolved from hip-hop culture into mainstream fashion, embraced by celebrities, athletes, and trendsetters worldwide, grillz have evolved into a luxury accessory that blends craftsmanship with personal style. But this is the first time a fine artist has translated their canvas work directly onto dental jewelry. In 2023, he became the youngest person to design the Britannia statuette for the annual BRIT awards. Beyonce even posed with the award statue he made. That same aesthetic vision now lives in your mouth. ## SLAWN'S ARTISTIC TRAJECTORY The work of London-based Nigerian artist Slawn pendulates between street art and abstract expressionism while exploring pertinent issues of politics, race, and identity. In 2022, he had his auction debut at Sotheby's "Contemporary Curated" sale. His recent artwork, "Alara, Ajero, and Orangun," fetched a staggering £31,750 (₦55,566,500) at an auction. Slawn has already proven his ability to translate art across mediums. Slawn is collaborating with Rolex on a limited-edition customisation of their iconic Datejust watch. Only ten pieces will be released, each featuring Slawn's signature artwork on the dial. The grillz collaboration follows this same philosophy of bringing gallery-level art to luxury accessories. He began his career working at Wafflesncream, Nigeria's first skate shop, catching the attention of skate brands like Supreme and Dime before going on to work on editorial shoots for London-based publications. Slawn went on to collaborate with friends to create the apparel group, Motherlan in 2018, which gained popularity across Nigeria and received recognition from Virgil Abloh. ## KABIL'S CRAFTSMANSHIP CREDENTIALS At Kabil's Grillz in Birmingham, we specialise in crafting bespoke custom grillz from gold, silver, and diamonds.
