*APC ART is pleased to present “Minutemen XXL” by Slawn.*

**Slawn seems to be everywhere these days — because he is literally EVERYWHERE.**

*With comparisons to Jean Michel Basquiat, it has been 40+ years since the art world has come across an artist of Slawn’s caliber and influence.*

This exceptional work is a *monumental original 1/1 artwork fully executed by hand by Slawn*, cut directly from the boxing ring canvas used in the historic Slawn x OPAKE exhibition. Executed in *acrylic spray paint on black boxing ring canvas*, the piece measures an impressive *29.5 x 47 inches*, making it a *nearly four-foot-long original Slawn work* with undeniable physical presence and impact. The work is *hand signed by both Slawn and graffiti legend OPAKE*, further elevating its significance and provenance.

“Minutemen XXL” embodies Slawn’s most iconic visual language at an extraordinary scale. The looping, aggressive white spray-painted lines, drips, and raw gestural marks are unmistakably Slawn — instinctive, urgent, and unapologetically bold. The *Minutemen motif*, one of the most important and recognizable symbols in Slawn’s oeuvre, is pushed to its most powerful form here, merging street-level energy with institutional exhibition history. The material itself is inseparable from the narrative: this canvas is not merely a surface, but a *relic of the exhibition*, physically bearing the scars, texture, and tension of the boxing ring environment.

Embedded directly within the composition is the *“100 Round Productions” logo*, layered organically among Slawn’s marks and the artists’ signatures. This detail anchors the work firmly to the original production context and reinforces its authenticity as a one-off artifact from the show itself. Unlike traditional works on paper or canvas, this piece carries a performative and spatial history that cannot be replicated.

Slawn’s ascent has been meteoric and culturally defining. From designing the *BRIT Awards* to collaborations with *Rolex, Nike, and Rimowa*, to sold-out exhibitions and museum-level recognition, Slawn has emerged as one of the most influential and talked-about artists of his generation. His landmark exhibition with *OPAKE* at the *Museum of Graffiti* during *Art Basel / Art Miami 2025*, produced in collaboration with *APC ART*, marked a pivotal moment — so significant that Slawn replaced *Jean-Michel Basquiat* in the official advertising one-sheets for the exhibition. Works originating directly from that show represent the absolute pinnacle of desirability within his market.

From an investment standpoint, “Minutemen XXL” is *unprecedented*. This is not a reproduction, edition, or studio derivative — it is a *large-scale, exhibition-used, hand-painted, one-of-one Slawn original*, signed by both Slawn and OPAKE. Works of this nature sit at the very top of Slawn’s value hierarchy and are widely regarded as foundational artifacts from a defining moment in contemporary art history.

The work is *in hand in the United States* and will *ship immediately*. Due to its scale and materiality, *custom archival framing or conservation-grade display solutions* are available upon request.
