The beauty and tragedy of incompletion - inside Fakemink and Slawn’s latest link up

“the beauty & tragedy of incompletion”

The custom portrait created by Olaolu Slawn for underground UK rapper fakemink has sparked a massive buzz across the creative scene.

Why does this collaboration matter and what could it mean?

Slawn’s anti-art style of creation rejects the traditional values of art and prefers a raw hand-drawn energy which feels very reminiscent of Fakeminks’s distorted, chaotic sample selection and sporadic release calendar.
This portrait marks a shift towards a more fluid, abstracted style compared to Slawn’s typical caricature work.
