*APC ART is pleased to present “Dangerous” (Busta Rhymes) — an iconic and highly sought-after silkscreen edition by ultra-contemporary artist Mark Drew.*

*Executed in 2024 and published directly by the artist, this work is a hand-pulled screenprint on dimpled 300gsm cream fine art stock, measuring 18 × 18 inches. The work is hand signed and numbered by the artist and features Drew’s blind stamp. Issued in a limited edition of only 150, this example represents a notably smaller release than Drew’s typical editions, which are often produced in editions of 200.*

*Mark Drew has cultivated a global and deeply loyal collector base through his unmistakable visual language — seamlessly pairing timeless, iconic hip hop lyrics with beloved imagery from the Peanuts universe. This juxtaposition of cultural nostalgia and musical legacy has become his signature, resonating with collectors across art, music, and design communities.*

*Drew is widely regarded as one of the most exciting artists working in the ultra-contemporary space today. Beyond his studio practice, he is also the founder and proprietor of China Heights Gallery in Sydney, Australia — a highly influential gallery that has played a pivotal role in shaping contemporary art dialogue and supporting both emerging and established artists internationally.*

*“Dangerous” follows Drew’s celebrated stylistic motif, this time incorporating a classic lyric from legendary rapper Busta Rhymes, paired with imagery featuring a “gang” of Woodstock’s (one, ironically injured). The result is a work that is at once playful, culturally rich, and immediately recognizable — a perfect embodiment of Drew’s artistic identity.*

*As with all of Drew’s works, this piece is executed as a true hand-pulled silkscreen, ensuring exceptional depth, texture, and richness of color. At 18 × 18 inches, it stands as one of his larger format editions, further enhancing its visual presence.*

*Released exclusively via the artist’s raffle system — the only way Drew distributes his works — this edition was difficult to acquire at launch. Combined with the smaller edition size of only 150, examples have become increasingly scarce on the secondary market, with collectors choosing to hold rather than sell.*

*This particular work is brand new, in flawless condition, and has never been framed. It will be shipped in its original packaging.*

*The work is in hand in Atlanta, Georgia and will ship immediately. Local pickup is also welcomed.*

*APC ART is pleased to offer archival, museum-quality framing options for our clients.*

*An absolutely iconic work that embodies the intersection of hip hop culture and contemporary art — and a standout addition to any serious collection.*

*Offered exclusively by APC ART.*
