100% Black Gold Guarantee - Clay Apenouvon

For this edition, Clay Apenouvon calls upon the icon that is the boxer Battling Siki, a figure of hope and determination in fights refereed by conscience itself. Clay Apenouvon presents a screen print of Battling Siki, in black ink on survival blankets. The body covers the gold leaf: the gold of survivors. The representation of this fighting figure, alone, illustrates a personal struggle and perseverance in the face of difficulties. The artist highlights the resilience of black athletes and recalls, in his words, that it is the external fights that pushed them into the ring.
