"Young Muhammad Ali" Oil on Canvas by Top Graffiti-Pop Artist "Dillon Boy" (2016)
Larger than life, this work from popular modern graffiti artist Dillon Boy speaks volumes about The Greatest of All Time. Measuring 36x36", this spray paint and acrylic on canvas captures the innocent youth of a supremely talented athlete, interspersed with the chaos that would be his life. From his days as a Golden Gloves amateur in Louisville, a young Cassius Clay strikes the classic boxer's pose, but bursts of color suggest so much more, from his conversion to Islam and the name Muhammad Ali, to his refusal to enter the draft and subsequent imprisonment, onward to redemption and championship glory, to a latter-life beset by illness. Dillon Boy’s work has been on fire lately, as he is one of top searched artists in the world and this 2016 gem comes certified with Serial Numbered Certificate of Authenticity, and the work is signed by the artist. James "Dillon Boy" Wright has exhibited internationally since 2007, and his work was included as part of TIME Magazine's Person-of-the-Year article in 2008.
