“OG4ever” aims to inspire artists, cultural icons, collectors, and fans by demonstrating the power of art to communicate and enhance the world across generations. As a major lead-up to Art Basel, OG4ever proudly unveils its latest exhibit, “Sport = Art,” in the vibrant heart of Wynwood. This innovative showcase explores the profound relationship between athleticism and artistry, celebrating sports as a symbol of physical excellence and cultural expression. Featuring dynamic bronze sculptures crafted from the actual molds of soccer legend Pelé’s hands and feet by fifth-generation sculptor Dante Mortet, alongside paintings capturing iconic sports moments from a diverse range of international artists, OG4ever offers visitors an immersive experience that redefines the intersection of sport and art.
The exhibition will spotlight works from renowned artists including Dante Mortet, Rene Makela, Lili Cantero, Cristian Troiani, Carling Jackson, and Murray Henderson—all passionate about creating artworks that reinterpret significant moments in sports history through their distinct artistic perspectives. Each piece in this collection invites viewers to delve into the raw intensity, emotion, and cultural resonance that sports embody, effectively blurring the lines between the athletic and the aesthetic.
Among the highlights is an extraordinary painting titled The Sistine Chapel of Sports, which features the greatest athletes of all time and will be suspended from the ceiling. Additionally, a striking painting of Mike Tyson by Murray Henderson will also be unveiled during the VIP preview on Friday, November 15th, coinciding with the streaming of the Mike Tyson x Jake Paul UFC fight on Netflix. Notably, the Tyson painting has been signed by Mike Tyson himself, who is a dedicated admirer of Henderson’s work.
The exhibit will have a VIP opening on Friday, November 15th and open to the public the following day, on Saturday, November 16th.
