TRUST. iCON | Stop and Search

Stop and Search is a powerful original work by the anonymous London street artist TRUST. iCON. Emerging onto the global scene following the 2011 London riots, iCON’s practice is rooted in the belief that art is the "uncensored voice of the people".

Measuring 24" x 24" (framed to 31" x 31"), this original mixed-media on canvas utilizes iCON’s signature "spoonful of sugar" approach—mixing humour and controversy to deliver a "medicine" of sharp social commentary. In Stop and Search, the artist's stencilled visual language confronts the absurdities of state control through a satirical pop culture lens, a theme made even more resonant by his origins in Thamesmead, the backdrop for Stanley Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange. Presented in a bespoke frame with a certificate of authenticity, this hand-signed piece is a vital acquisition for collectors of transgressive urban art.
