Balaclava Ballerina, are signed limited edition sculptures created using alloy and spray paint. These Ballerinas come beautifully presented in a black case. Each sculpture has been hand finished with a unique colourway chosen by the artist. Please Note: Each sculpture has been hand finished and will vary slightly. The inspiration behind the ballerinas is based on a female superhero the artist wanted to create based on a a news event during the riots of 2020 – a black woman was standing there with police surrounding her. “Even though they looked really fierce with their batons like they were going to attack her, she wasn’t going to do anything. The balaclava ballerina is shooting rose petals out of the guns and spreading love over the policeman. The ballerina is also taking something quite gentle and putting something dangerous in her hands, but in my head the guns aren’t threatening – they’re spreading love. Like anything in my work the cats, the grenades, the ballerinas – they’re all about spreading love” Maxim
