Lyndon Watkinson (1999) is an artist, designer, writer, and musician based in Sheffield, UK. Democratising art and art context through artworks, publications, graphic design, articles, and sound. Creative director and founder of the online arts organisation SU4IP. His work is characterised by a desire for precision, often depicting aesthetics that celebrate and criticise the absurdity of corporatized identity, calling into question the necessity of creating false exteriors when what is not seen is often just as important.
In late 2020, a blog post entitled Suburban Utopia, An Infertile Place formed part of the wider inquiry and development of his practice for his bachelor's degree in fine art. As his work matured, he applied this term as a formalisation of his creative endeavours, later abbreviating it to SU4IP, now used as a digital alias and publishing entity.

Ghana, Digital Collage, 2021
1. Instead of administrative divisions, I divided the flag up into sections based on tribes that exist within Ghana. These were arranged in a way that denotes the culturally synonymous traditional weaving techniques. 2. The golden border represents the wealth of gold deposits within Ghana. Gold is an integral part of most tribal cultures here. It is also the second-highest exporter of gold on the African continent, after South Africa. 3. To the right of the flag, we see a depiction of Volta Lake, the largest man-made lake in the world, alongside three stars, representing the three established democracies in Ghana since its independence. They are coloured to reflect the variety of dry, lush, and wet regions of the country. 4. To the left we see the reappearance of the De La Rue company, responsible for the manufacture of the Ghanaian cedi. 5. In the bottom left, a postal stamp that denotes the Independence Day of Ghana covers a torn BEIC sticker.
