Slawn | Scrooge Mchitta

Slawn x Opake — Scrooge Mchitta

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.

Scrooge Mchitta brings the collaboration into the territory of Dickensian moral fable filtered through the visual language of Slawn x Opake — the classic figure of redemptive transformation in Western literature, meeting a creative adaptation that connects Victorian England to the African diaspora experience underpinning Slawn's practice.

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