Slawn | Mickey Sprout

Slawn x Opake — Mickey Sprout

Slawn, born Olaolu Akeredolu-Ale in Lagos, Nigeria in 2000, is a London-based artist known for intersecting street art with Abstract Expressionist styles, drawing on his Yoruba heritage. He began painting during London's 2020 lockdown after moving to the city to study graphic design at Middlesex University, and held his debut exhibition at Truman Brewery in 2021. His rapid rise has included a 2022 Sotheby's auction debut and designing the statuette and set for the 2023 Brit Awards — becoming the youngest and first Nigerian-born artist to do so — followed by the 2024 FA Cup Trophy.

Mickey Sprout brings the Slawn x Opake collaboration to a widely recognised cartoon character, reimagined as seedling, as possibility, as the idea before it becomes a global phenomenon. The rare signed edition format makes this among the most significant available works in the collaboration.

Available through Creed Gallery, Ascot, for collectors across Berkshire, Surrey, and London.
