As a Skepta fan and an artist visually & musically myself, this just gave me brand new goals !!!!! His curation is out of this world
Me too! Skepta is truly a great
Shut up amaris
Nah he’s a weirdo proper creep
Whys that
I swear everything he does is just done with this original Skepta style and flavour. This is why everyone looks up to him man!
I look down on him he’s turned very very strange
@@datbang5072 Nah mums hes just leveled up so much he's just a different don now
@@datbang5072 explain why you think so
@@Roman-uy7qp Absolutely,An he’s a 40 yr old man. These people are too young that’s why they don’t understand.
Organising an expo beyond the painting is so important, it evolves the initial art idea into a whole deeper experience for the viewer
Actually surprised by how good the painting is, he should definitely keep it up as a hobby
never ever would I have thought this bro is painting
I feel like this painting is like looking into his soul, his upbringing, his family, his life on road. All of it.
DAMN SKEPPIIIII! MAKING US PROUD IN AFRICA! BEAUTIFUL WORK MAN!!!!
Skepta one of the realest ones out there
New goals. Happy for Skepta, and he's very talented I hope to see more art from him in the future
I love the way he always rep Nigeria proud of Yaa
Love everything about it, I started painting during the pandemic too!
Love thissssss for him and for us.. African artists deserve so much more light and exposure because we are incredible and brilliant 🔥
@@moomoocowsly skeptas roots are from nigeria and jesus isnt white at all
@@joachimvonkeller6502 🥰👏🏿
A true artist involves themselves in every form of art, shout out to skepta for sharing that musicians can go beyond music and into fashion, painting, and etc.
What a work of art ❤❤👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 looks absolutely amazing!!!
1000 years from now that painting will be worth millions
Loved his music, massive fan of his Nike collaborations those shoes were art themselves. Now he makes actual art skepta the G.O.A.T!
Fantastic. Great to see a true artist express themselves.
lovely man, so talented & such charisma as well 😊 thank you for sharing your art with us!
We all know the big man been creative from the start 🇳🇬🇿🇲❤️
Very dope to see him do this!
Clearly he is now on a journey to create a piece of art that is deeper than his music video for All Over The House. This painting is profound but he still has some way to go before he can reach the levels he once achieved with that beautiful and compelling video from 2011.
Transcended those days
Rahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
We’re so proud of him
Saw that Skepta had done a painting for the first time on facebook and mad people where hating (you know what sort of people were hating)
Could Skepta be any more handsome ! Whew ❤️
Such a beautiful piece!!
The man beautiful omg 😻
just beautiful
Explore your art creative journey brother... ✨️ Freedom of expression and imagination is the best feeling in the world.
This man🧠❤️
Good that he found another creative outlet during Lockdown. The reaction to the pandemic was/is still extreme IMO.
Dope dope dope. Conceptually tuff.
After watching some Catfish UK, it's crazy how now I see how much he looks like his sister.... Skepta is such a fine rapper and man!!
Slawn and Chito one of the beat touches to the piece
Love seeing this dimension and side of Skepta.
He’s just a weirdo
@@datbang5072close minded dickhead

Big up yourself, legendary business! 🙌🏾💪🏾

Skepta the realest
Beautiful Painting By A Beautiful Human Being

Simplesmente o maior. BIG SMOKE.
Imagine owning that painting 😯
I didn't know he had an interest painting - very cool!
skepta is life🙏🙏🙏
So sick.
Vision!
Legendary
Beautiful painting !
Beautiful
Big Shoutout to Mama Nike for the inspiration!!!
This is so cool!
It's like a proper hyperbolic diorama in 2D reality bruv.....just likk u, I AVE no words to describe. One paintin is more than enuf.
BIGGUP MY BRUDA! He is indeed 'One of the Greatest' 🤣🤣😎😎
So cool !
U are artist love man
Amazing
Gwaan skepta 😎
Go on then !!
exquisite
and it sold for £80k wow legendary.
He’s breathing Nigeria ..
Mama goes to market real LIFE
Not a fan of Skepta but I am a fan of the lifestyle of creating through more than one medium. When you have a lot to express, boundaries shouldn't hold you back.
Amazing peace
the guys is genius
Greatness only
I would like this painting very much even if he had no association with it at all. It's so easy to hype things with a celebrity endorsement..the work speaks for itself.
참 아름답고 멋찝니다~~
“My teacher told me I’m a sideman,I told her to remember me…”
talented painter aswell
🔥🔥🔥🔥
he is so fuckin sick
🐐🐐🐐

Nice it looks really good and are they still selling Prada trainers I have not seen them in years
This is the best art I've ever seen. So good.
Big man skeppy answers to no one
new side of him I just learned
big smoke!!
Nice
Good afternoon, good evening, good morning to everyone around the world
#Art 🙌🖼🎨
Wow I never knew Skepta was Nigerian. Well done my broda
Where did you think he was from
@@iffysd9864 well I thought he was from the carribean
@@djdelta777 he doesn't look it so thats surprising lol
@@iffysd9864 its my ignorance I guess, I normally assume a black person with a British, especially London accent to be from the carribean in the first instance, due to there being a larger proportion of them here than African British
@@iffysd9864 what? How do you look carribean wtf 😂
Fanon wrote something like, [the native does not always speak the truth / the native is the truth. the truth of what? the truth of the settler's undoing.] Sylvia Wynters said "we's-not-us", and Wilderson III asked them, who embodies the truth of the undoing of The World?
The music choice was interesting. I feel like this was ripe for some Nigerian music or remixed grime or something. This just felt very New York which I guess also kinda makes sense in a way.
Super tough
Not a collaboration I expected... but nice!
GRRRRREASE
Cool
Icon
🐐
They say a wife is a gun, see man with his wife finna disarm himmm OYYY
Could have got other amazin graff writers to do this but got the 2 most hyped writers to add to it
anyone know where his sweatshirt is from?
❤❤❤❤❤
🌴😎💯
If somebody tells you that he is an artist, and then adds to it one of the greatest. Know he is really not. True genius humble and never would call themselves greatest.
There is a difference when you can say proudly that you have accomplished some things and you are one of the greatest. There is a difference between I am the greatest and being one of the greatest and that’s what he said. He deserves to be able to say that about hisself. You are taking it the wrong way.
He is the greatest though?
Skepta so multifaceted
