Opening reception of Saatchi Yates: "Slawn"
Following his debut exhibition in London, Saatchi Yates presents a solo exhibition of Slawn's recent paintings over Miami Art Week. Slawn is recognised for intersecting street art with Abstract Expressionist styles. His work, rooted in both Yoruba heritage and contemporary societal themes, engages a wide-ranging audience. An innate ability to infuse global cultural influences into subversive and comedic artwork has established Slawn as a pivotal figure in contemporary visual culture - setting him apart from his academically-trained contemporaries, ensuring his induction into the canon of art history.
