Slawn | Running Lies

Running Lies is a high-octane collaboration between two of the UK's most influential contemporary urban voices: Slawn and Opake. This unnumbered signed edition represents a pivotal moment in the "Scam Artist" persona of Slawn, whose work has moved from the streets of Lagos to the halls of Sotheby's.

Measuring 11.81" x 11.81" (framed to 14" x 14"), this giclée on fine art paper subverts the iconography of Disney's Pinocchio, layering it with Opake’s signature spray-can textures and Slawn’s provocative "ugly bastard" aesthetic. The work captures the raw, kinetic energy of East London’s creative underground, presenting a "vivid hue" of pink that defines the current zeitgeist of Nigerian-British Post-Pop Art. Expertly conservation framed, this piece is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity and stands as a vital acquisition for collectors following the rise of global Neo-Expressionism.
