I STOLE WARHOL’S S***

  • Photofusion Ltd 2 Beehive Place London, England, SW9 7QR United Kingdom (map)

Free event, booking required.

Cemented in the landscape of Newham and the ethos of class-conscious creation, ‘I STOLE WARHOL’S S***’ marks the evolution of Dillon Kalyabe’s multidisciplinary practice.

Curated by Shakyrah Lodge of Photofusion’s Creators’ Studio, the exhibition brings a defiant reimagining of contemporary art to Brixton through the lens of ‘Newham’s Oracle.’

The show unveils a debut collection of 100 canvas works, Kalyabe’s newest publication and more. Hijacking the visual language of mass production, specifically Warhol’s Campbell’s Soup series, Iconic pop-art movements are repurposed to serve as a vehicle for working-class preservation. He strips away the polish of existing masterworks to build a cultural iconography library for the overlooked; an act of reclaiming the archive to ensure the community are no longer just the subjects of art, but the authors of it. Paying homage through disruption.
