Diego
This is an homage to an unknown artist who did this iconic image of an icon on a wall in Buenos Aires in 2011 which keeps everything very Argentinian. If anyone knows who did it then let me know and I'll pass it on. And of course, it is mainly to celebrate the all-too-short life of Diego Maradona who played the beautiful game beautifully; and with his passion entertained everyone, even people in England!. He scored a goal against England using his hand; how the referee failed to work out how the shortest man on the pitch beat the tallest man on the pitch in the air, I'll never know; maybe that was why it became known as the Hand of God. To make things right he went on to score a wonder goal, he ran half the length of the pitch beating everyone in front of him. He stabbed it home just before he was "taken out" by a defender. It was just as well he scored or it would have been a penalty, England would have gone down to 10 men and lost six nil! π¦π·π€¦π»ββοΈ

Juan Sly is likely the biggest seller of original artwork in the UK. An artist exhibiting in spray stencils, newspaper and oils, he has exhibited at the Saatchi (a proper gallery with pillars and everything!) alongside the likes of Banksy, Terry O'Neil, Tracy Emin and Vic Reeves, and has permanent collections in Ireland, Detroit and England, alongside Damien Hirst and some other artists you might have heard of, plus private collections around the globe. His works rock from humour to anti-war, sex to surreal. He is particularly fond of the stencil medium as it allows him to respond quickly to events and ideas and gives his works a gritty, illegal look. The stencils naturally allow the works to be resprayed, and consequently become affordable and disposable. He likes the fact that people can buy art which they like, and not to show off how much they can afford. You can find them in bedsits, legal offices in the Temple or stuck to a fence in Bristol.

Juan Sly is an Urban Pop Art artist who primarily expresses himself through spray stencils and oils. He derives inspiration from both contemporary and past popular culture images, skillfully melding them to form fresh and thought-provoking concepts for today's audience. His artwork oscillates between seriousness and playfulness, often combining both elements in his captivating creations. His artworks encompass a wide spectrum, ranging from humorous to anti-war, from sex to surreal themes.
Currently, he has a particular fondness for the stencil medium as it allows him to swiftly respond to current events and infuse his works with a raw, edgy appearance reminiscent of underground art. The stencils also enable the artworks to be replicated easily, making them more affordable and accessible. Through this approach, he strives to create art that is inclusive and inviting, catering to those who feel alienated by the elitism and exclusivity often associated with traditional art galleries. As a result, he faces criticism and disapproval from the "Art Police" and those who uphold the conventional art world.
