OPAKE is a renowned London-based artist known for his innovative fusion of graffiti, pop art, and personal introspection. He reinterprets iconic cartoon characters like Mickey Mouse and the Pink Panther, exploring profound themes such as mental health, addiction, and the disintegration of pop culture. His distinctive style—what he calls "the disintegration of pop culture"—is characterized by bold colors and layered imagery, creating a chaotic yet captivating visual experience.

His artistic journey is deeply intertwined with his struggles with addiction. After experiencing drug-induced psychosis, OPAKE transformed his challenges into a wellspring of creativity. His work often features repetitive patterns and cluttered compositions, symbolizing the cyclical nature of addiction and the madness of expecting different outcomes from the same behaviors. These visual elements not only reflect his personal battles but also his path to recovery, making his art a powerful testament to resilience and transformation.
