*APC ART is pleased to present an exceptionally rare and highly important early work by one of the most explosive forces in contemporary art today — SLAWN.*
This *unique, 1/1, heavily embellished archival pigment print* featuring *Slawn & Rubi Rose* was published directly by the artist in *2022* and originates from an edition concept of only *20 unique works*, each individually altered and executed by hand. This example is *hand numbered* and *hand signed by the artist in black paint marker* with the inscription *“Slawn Rubi Rose”*, making it a singular, non-repeatable work rather than a traditional editioned print.
Measuring *30” x 22”*, the composition is both confrontational and seductive — a defining characteristic of Slawn’s visual language. The raw, graphic mark-making layered over the photographic base exemplifies the artist’s instinctive, aggressive, and emotionally charged approach. The heavy embellishment pushes the work firmly into *unique object* territory, blurring the line between photography, painting, and street intervention.
These *early Slawn works are now becoming virtually impossible to find*. As his career has accelerated at an unprecedented pace, collectors are increasingly focused on formative works from this period — pieces that capture the artist before global demand fully eclipsed supply.
Slawn’s rise has been nothing short of historic. His exhibition with *Saatchi Yates* famously *shut down Piccadilly Circus*, an almost unheard-of moment for a living artist. His *sold-out Art Miami 2025 exhibition* was widely regarded as the most talked-about event of the entire fair, solidifying his position as a defining voice of the moment.
The artist’s *“Heroes, Villains & Violence”* VIP preview at the *Museum of Graffiti* drew over *3,000 people* on opening night alone. A true *who’s-who* of art, fashion, and music converged for what many have described as the most iconic exhibition moment since *Mr. Brainwash’s “Under Construction”* in 2011. The energy, scale, and cultural relevance surrounding Slawn is unmatched by any of his contemporaries.
From an acquisition standpoint, this work represents a *blue-chip entry point into one of the fastest-moving juggernauts the contemporary art world has ever seen*. Hand signed, hand numbered, and limited to only *20 unique works*, this piece stands as a *museum-grade investment opportunity* with extraordinary upside potential.
The work will *ship immediately from London*.
We are pleased to offer *archival framing options*.
