His work frequently incorporates familiar figures from Star Wars, transplanting them into other pop culture contexts to create an aesthetic of skewed nostalgia which is always playful, a little ironic and oh so spirited. December 2016 sees the highly anticipated re release of ‘Ona Islam’, RYCA’s sell out print, 10 years on from the original launch. Following in the footsteps of Marcel Duchamp, RYCA has updated Da Vinci’s timeless Mona Lisa with a simple switch of lettering and some clever stencilling, Mona Lisa becomes Ona Islam, with only those enigmatic eyes, still identifiable, peeping from behind a black burka. High impact, conceptually charged and visually striking, ‘Ona Isalm’ is back in a stunning range of colour ways choose bright orange for a bold, Pop Art infused take on the classic print.
