Skepta, one of the UK's most prominent grime musicians and producers, can add a new title to his resume: artist and curator
Skepta, one of the UK's most prominent grime musicians and producers, can add a new title to his resume: artist and curator.
The curated auction features works from both emerging and established artists including a painting made by Skepta's himself.The British-Nigerian describes the work, called"Mama Goes to Market," as a"brought-together memory of Nigeria," in a press release. It is his first painting and was created during a Covid-19 lockdown in 2020.
Although art is a new venture for the musician, he said that it was a natural transition."When you make music -- because it comes with music videos, styling, set design and everything else -- you naturally get subsumed into the world of art as well, getting your teeth stuck into different movements styles as a way to inspire your own creativity," Skepta told CNN over email.The show is the second London edition of Sotheby's Contemporary Curated series held this year..
The graffiti etched onto the walls of Skepta's painting were additions made by artist Slawn, music producer and graffiti artist Goldie and graphic designer Chito. Pieces by each artist will feature in Skepta's guest edit which makes up 10 of the total 88 pieces up for auction.
