About The Artwork
Tyson was one of the greatest boxers of all time. I find fascination in celebrities that reach the apex of their field professionally and financially and then lose it all. This fall from grace holds just as much intrigue as the rise to that position. This piece shows Mike Tyson at his most excessive walking his pet tiger.The title of this pieces comes from a twist on the Muhammad Ali quote "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee." The title takes on additional meaning in the context of Tyson getting disqualified from a 1997 heavyweight championship fight with Evander Holyfield for biting him twice on the ear.

Alexander Key is an emerging contemporary artist from Charlotte, North Carolina. His work appropriates a wide variety of cultural ephemera, extracting familiar aesthetics and re-contextualizing them into new compositions that act as bittersweet commentaries. Mining from the resonance of childhood images and personal nostalgia, he explores the impact of these mental keepsakes on a broader collective memory. Working primarily in the medium of silkscreen printing, his work ranges from monotone prints to densely layered paintings. Please reach out if you are interested in showing his work or want to know more about his artistic practice.
