Mixed media with signature black sand and crystal applique
An intimate tribute to comedic royalty, this work captures Eddie Murphy's beloved Prince Akeem from "Coming to America" in a moment of regal vulnerability—the crystalline textures of his crown juxtaposed against weathered street art aesthetics. Tony's treatment honors Murphy's transformative performance while drawing from his own guerrilla art origins, having spray painted this very image across the urban landscapes of Portland, New York, and Los Angeles. The piece bridges cinema and street culture, demonstrating Concep’s mastery of translating iconic portraiture from sidewalk stencils to gallery walls—a testament to both artistic evolution and the enduring power of cultural celebration.
