About The Artwork

Urban Pop art in your own home by cult artist Sly. Popiconic Moments 2. Live Aid. On the 13th July 1985, after a few technical problems, mediocre performances from stars new and old, Queen were due on. Queen galvanised the stadium with some of their greatest hits; Freddie Mercury at times led the entire crowd of 72,000 in thundering unison refrains. In their 20 minutes set the band opened with "Bohemian Rhapsody" and closed with "We Are the Champions". Being true professionals they had extensively rehearsed their performance, and then before taking the stage Queen's sound engineer covertly switched out the limiters on the venue's sound system so the performance would be louder than the others. Queen's performance on that day has since been voted by more than 60 artists, journalists and music industry executives as the greatest live performance in the history of rock music. The painting is; the moment that Freddie, with the Live Aid logo behind him, turns to acknowledge the audience, and; the Popiconic Moment when nearly 2 billion TV watchers knew that thousands of starving African people weren’t going to die after all. Spiel by Steeve (with help from Wikipedia) These are not prints as each is individually done and signed to order and consequently will vary slightly from the illustrated picture. They are sprayed onto plain paper (approx. 56x80cm). They can come with FREE crossbars and nails, so yours will be ready to hang; all you have to do is contact me, Steeve, and ask.

It is likely that Juan Sly has become the biggest seller of original artworks in the UK. An artist exhibiting in mainly spray stencils and oils. He has exhibited at the Saatchi (a proper gallery with pillars and everything!) alongside the likes of Banksy, Terry O'Neil, Tracy Emin and Vic Reeves and now has a permanent collections in Germany, Detroit and the Uk, alongside Damien Hirst and some other artists you might of heard of plus private collections around the globe. His works rock from humour to anti-war, sex to surreal. Particularly fond of the stencil medium as it allows him to quickly respond to events and ideas and gives the work that gritty illegal look. The stencils naturally allow the works to be resprayed and so become affordable and disposable. He likes the fact that people can buy art that they like and not to show off how much they can afford. You can find them in bedsits, legal offices in the Temple or stuck to a fence in Bristol. Spiel by Steeve
