This new suite of collaborative works delve into the artists’s shared fantasy to become real-life superheroes, all while wrestling with histories as self-perceived villains through pasts marked by hardship, violence and addiction. Wood-panel works capture the likes of Iron Man, Captain America, Snow White and the Mad Hatter, counterbalanced between Opake’s graphic compositional approach and tear-streaked, cartoonish spray work, a Slawn signature.
The presentation consistently uses boxing as a metaphor, representing the speakers’ journey towards improvement and their commitment to facing new challenges. This ‘fight’ symbolizes the dedication, hard work, and personal growth required to stay on track, adapt, and achieve future success.
