Maple Sizzurp Navy

Canadian urban artist, Whatisadam, is known worldwide for his Canadian-infused street art. Whether it’s boxing Mounties, murderous ice-hockey players or, in this instance – potentially toxic cans of maple ‘sizzurp’, the artist’s affection for his home is always clear to see.

This piece is a firm nod to his Pop Art predecessors, with the tinned goods immediately summoning Warhol’s Campbell’s Soup pieces. Upon closer examination you’ll see additional nods to Canada, including a plaid shirt, lacrosse sticks and a snowy scene, in homage to the cold weather that has earned Canada its nickname – The Great White North.

This silkscreen print is from a limited edition of 25, signed by the artist.
