Shout-out to & for donating this print of "Rise Up - Blue" by Solus, an intercontinental street and contemporary artist known for his vibrant use of color and uplifting imagery. Solus captures the juxtaposition of elegance and strength with his boxer ballerinas. His artwork and murals draw inspiration from overcoming obstacles and finding life balance. Notable collectors of his artwork include Bono of U2 and Christina Aguilera.
