Rooted in graffiti and urban aesthetics, Opake’s work explores the fragmentation of pop culture through layered compositions, graffiti markers, and reinterpretations of iconic cartoon characters. His signature approach—merging spray paint, Posca markers, and epoxy resin—transforms nostalgia into a chaotic narrative of cultural decay and reinvention.Join us for the opening of the Opake Exhibition at Carousel Fine Art Chicago. Opening June 5th, this exhibition unveils a series of new works created specifically for the show, offering collectors a rare opportunity to experience Opake’s Disintegration of Pop Art first hand.
Who is Opake?
Opake is one of Britain’s most sought-after street artists, known for his reimaginings of pop culture icons through the lens of graffiti and urban aesthetics. His work deconstructs nostalgia, layering vibrant color blocks, expressive tags, and intricate compositions to reveal deeper themes of addiction, identity, and cultural erosion. By transforming beloved cartoon characters into fragmented artworks, Opake challenges the viewer to reconsider the impact of time and societal shifts on cultural memory.
