Discover a series of eight screen-prints by cult London-based Nigerian artist Slawn. Translating the immateriality of a CIRCA commission into physical screen-prints, the artist spray painted onto bespoke cut perspex sheets, scaled to fit each screen in London, Milan, Seoul, Tokyo, Berlin, Los Angeles, Lagos and Accra.
Appearing on screens worldwide throughout December, each screen-print is created using four hand-pulled screens (red, blue, yellow and black) to recreate the final paintings.
Collect individual screen prints (£120 +VAT) or the full set of eight (£900 +VAT) by selecting from the drop down menu below.
ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
Heralding their entrance into the African content, CIRCA presents GONE?, a site-specific study on the theme of hope by Nigerian-born, London-based artist Slawn. Launching Wednesday 6 December, and set to halt billboard screens worldwide at 20:23 local time until New Year’s Eve, the collaboration debuts on screens in Accra, Nairobi, Abidjan, and Lagos — the birth town of Slawn – whilst maintaining CIRCA’s presence in London’s Piccadilly Circus, Milan, Seoul, Tokyo, Berlin, and Los Angeles.

ABOUT SLAWN
The work of London-based Nigerian artist Slawn (b.2000 in Lagos, Nigeria) pendulates between street art and abstract expressionism while exploring pertinent issues of politics, race, and identity. At 23 years old, Slawn stands as a cult icon, celebrated not just for his art but also as a street artist and skateboarder, esteemed by figures like Virgil Abloh and Skepta. His acclaim arises from an artistic signature that manipulates reality on large-scale canvases, intertwining cartoonish-like pop figures, bold, colourful forms, and stylish shapes defined with vivid hues that beckon the viewer. At first, seemingly playful and a descendant of street art, it is upon closer inspection that we see the intense human element that Slawn endows to each work, where he explores human psychology, politics, race, and other complex topics and issues still challenging society.
