Known for his bold works featuring iconic cartoon characters, Opake’s style – described as ‘the disintegration of pop culture’ – channels his experiences with addiction into something truly unique.

"My Nan was as British as they come. As a young, wild kid she drilled manners into me and pushed me towards creativity and fine art. She dragged me kicking and screaming through numerous museums which, at the time, I saw no relevance to. After these disastrous trips we would go to Fortnum & Mason for afternoon tea. She saw this shop as a bastion of London with pure magic stacked on its shelves. Sadly she passed away last year, having suffered with Alzheimer’s and shortly after I was asked to be a part of something so much bigger than me, that meant so much to someone I loved dearly…the Universe moves in mysterious ways."
