Balaclava Ballerina, White And Gold

Balaclava Ballerina, White Gold is a signed limited edition sculpture created using alloy and spray paint. Each sculpture comes presented in a black case with a piece of music on a memory card.

The artist created only ten of these pieces naming each Ballerina after a different star.  

Each white Ballerina has its own song made for that sculpture, making each piece wholly unique. 

Please Note: Each sculpture has been hand finished and will vary slightly. 

The inspiration behind the ballerinas is based on a female superhero the artist wanted to create based on a a news event during the riots of 2020 – a black woman was standing there with police surrounding her.

"Even though they looked really fierce with their batons like they were going to attack her, she wasn’t going to do anything. The balaclava ballerina is shooting rose petals out of the guns and spreading love over the policeman.  

The ballerina is also taking something quite gentle and putting something dangerous in her hands,  but in my head the guns aren’t threatening - they’re spreading love. Like anything in my work the cats, the grenades, the ballerinas – they’re all about spreading love"  Maxim
