Dunking is one of the most gracious and athletic moves in sports. I started photography to capture the aesthetics of this ultimate move, an achievement for most players but most importantly a self-expression tool. Here, Kenya's own Ryan Otsimi elevates for the mighty two-handed reverse on the infamous Harbourfront Court in Toronto.

“I won this raffle of a pair of Jordan 1’s that I absolutely love. When thinking of it the Jordan 1’s have always been one of my favorite sneaker ever designed. It took me a month and several failed attempts before I finally was happy with “AIR”. I wanted to embody the aesthetics from 84’ and the cult symbol it’s become today. I needed to paint my interpretation to honor its impact on my life ever since I was a kid growing up in Valencia.”

About the artist
Artist Michael Hartfelder is an enthusiastic representative of the new avant-garde in Pop art, working with minimalist and sometimes surreal depictions of celebrities, places and cultures. He brings all these elements to the canvas, with mostly geometric and reduced forms were the motifs impress with their bright colors and his trademark, the striped background, can be found again and again.
For over 20 years I have been visiting Japan regularly 2-3 times a year, and that is how I came into contact with Sharaku and Hokusai. I was so impressed by the woodblock prints that I bought some for my own collection. Especially in the Corona period, when I can't travel, I miss Japanese culture.Sharaku is the third woodblock image I have created in my minimal Pop Art design. The colours used make it look highly modern and yet timeless.

A unique, timeless collectible trademarked & licensed between Medicom Toy’s Be@rbrick- line and the Estate of Keith Haring. This Be@rbrick was first released in 2018 and was the second unique design to be launched with the Haring Estate. The artwork which wraps the Be@rbrick sculpture was Haring’s 1984 acrylic on canvas original artwork ”Untitled Pink” which showcases his unique style of drawing figure’s on patterned backgrounds.

Damien Hirst rose to prominence in late 1980s London and is considered one of the most notorious artists of his generation. He has pushed the limits of fine art and good taste with sculptures that comprise dead animals submerged in formaldehyde; innumerable spot paintings that appear mass-produced and can sell for millions of dollars; and the exuberantly tacky For the Love of God (2007), a human skull studded with 8,601 diamonds. Through his installations, sculptures, drawings, and paintings, Hirst explores themes including religion, mortality, and desire. Since 1988, when the artist developed and curated “Freeze,” a groundbreaking exhibition of his work and that of his Goldsmiths College peers, he has been the subject of major shows at Tate Modern in London, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. In 2008, Hirst controversially staged “Beautiful Inside my Head Forever,” an auction in which he sold his work directly to the public and raked in around $200 million for himself. His individual works have sold for more than $10 million at auction.

To celebrate the 20th anniversary since its first release, acclaimed Brooklyn based artis KAWS released a series of five colorways of his CHUM figurine on August 9, 2022. KAWS Chum series depicts one of his more famous muses, his character based on the Michelin Man. The original figurine launched in 2002, today fetches prices from 3,500 EUR up to 8,000 EUR depending on the colorway on the second-hand market and auctions.

About the artist： Bridging the gap between the art world and the street, Keith Haring rose to prominence in the early 1980s with his graffiti drawings made in the subways and on the sidewalks of New York City. Combining the appeal of cartoons with the raw energy of ART BRUT artists like Jean DuBuffet, Haring developed a distinct pop-graffiti aesthetic centered on fluid, bold outlines against a dense, rhythmic overspread of imagery like that of babies, barking dogs, flying saucers, hearts, and Mickey Mouse. In his subway drawings and murals, Haring explored themes of exploitation, subjugation, drug abuse, and rising fears of the nuclear holocaust, which became increasingly apocalyptic after his AIDS diagnosis. Alongside Jean-Michel Basquiat, Kenny Scharf, and Jenny Holzer, Haring is regarded as a leading figure in the New York East Village Art scene in the 1970s and '80s.
The original Flying Devil statue was released in 1990 and followed the signature pop art style associated with Haring. Through this sculpture, Haring employed redemptive elements to comment on the Jesus Movement and Christian religious fanaticism of the 1970s. Medicom Toy pay’s homage to Keith Haring with this 2022 release made in 100% polystone under license with the Keith Haring estate.

About the artist: One of the most acclaimed artists to emerge from post-war Asia, Takashi Murakami is known for his signature “Superflat” aesthetic: a colorful, two-dimensional style that straddles the division between fine art and pop culture as it unites elements of anime, Japanese nihonga, and ukiyo-e woodcuts. Common motifs across Murakami’s oeuvre—which spans paintings, sculptures, prints, and more—include smiling flowers, bears, and the Mickey Mouse–inspired character Mr. DOB. They also appear throughout Murakami’s thriving market for merchandise and collectables. Murakami has presented at institutions including the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, MoMA PS1,Mori Art Museum, Garage Museum of Contemporary Art, Brooklyn Museum, and the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago among others, and his work has sold for millions on the secondary market. Murakami also runs a large influential art production and artist management company, the Tokyo-based Kaikai Kiki Co.
