*APC ART is pleased to present “Math (RIP Prodigy),” an exceptional and highly sought-after edition by acclaimed contemporary artist Mark Drew. Executed in January 2025, this work is a hand-pulled seven color silkscreen print on 250gsm wove rag paper, hand signed and numbered by the artist in graphite pencil in the lower margin, and further distinguished by the artist’s blind stamp. The work measures 24 × 24 inches and is from the highly limited edition of 200.*

*Mark Drew has established himself as one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary art through his iconic fusion of classic Peanuts imagery with legendary hip-hop lyrics. His work operates at the intersection of nostalgia, music history, and visual culture — pairing universally recognized characters with deeply resonant lyrical references that speak to an entire generation.*

*Drew’s practice has cultivated a deeply loyal and global collector base. His works are collected not only by prominent contemporary art collectors but also by celebrities, musicians, and even some of the very rappers whose lyrics he immortalizes. In addition, his works are highly sought after by top-tier interior designers, who value their bold visual presence, cultural relevance, and ability to instantly elevate a space.*

*As the founder and director of China Heights Gallery in Sydney, Drew has also played a pivotal role in shaping contemporary culture beyond his own studio practice. His releases are notoriously difficult to acquire, typically distributed via raffle and selling out immediately — further driving demand on the secondary market.*

*“Math (RIP Prodigy)” stands as one of the most important and desirable editions in Drew’s entire body of work. Unlike the majority of his prints — which are typically smaller in scale and limited to four colors — this piece is executed as a large-format 24 × 24 inch print utilizing an exceptionally complex seven color silkscreen process. This technical achievement alone sets it apart as one of his most ambitious editions.*

*The work features Drew’s signature Peanuts imagery, paired with the iconic lyric “Sign deals only if the math is real…” — a powerful line from Mobb Deep that reflects themes of integrity, value, and authenticity. The piece serves as a tribute to Prodigy, one half of the legendary hip-hop duo Mobb Deep, who passed away on June 20, 2017. The inclusion of this lyric elevates the work beyond visual nostalgia into a poignant cultural homage.*

*The vibrant yellow ground, layered with expressive multicolor markings, adds an energetic and dynamic backdrop that contrasts beautifully with the stark black-and-white figures. The composition is both playful and profound — a hallmark of Drew’s most successful works.*

*This edition is widely regarded as Drew’s most sought-after print. It is rarely seen on the secondary market, and examples of this quality and condition are exceptionally difficult to acquire.*

*This work is brand new and has never been framed. It has been carefully stored to ensure pristine condition. APC ART is pleased to offer archival framing options to ensure museum-quality presentation and preservation.*

*The work is in hand in the United States and will ship immediately.*

*A culturally significant, visually striking, and highly collectible work — and an exceptional investment opportunity.*

*Offered exclusively by APC ART.*
