Nwadiogbu left his mark on the cityscape of the busy Oxford Street in London on his latest exhibition, digital installation on the Façade of Flannels.

Presented by W1 Curates, Nwadiogbu’s art was displayed on 4k digital screen viewable twenty-four hours a day for two weeks straight, on a three-story building on Oxford Street in London.

We’ve always been a huge fan of the story behind Ken's works. After meeting him in person we just had to collaborate. He’s such a humble yet talented guy," founder of W1 curates said.

"We think you’ll be seeing a lot more of his works in years to come."

This is not the first time Nwadiogbu’s craft has been shown in a London space.

In July 2021, he partnered UK-based Shipart for its Vehicle Wrap project tagged ArtOnWheels.
