Step into Yellow Concept Kick featur

A super inspiring piece from London artist, Damilola Odusote. Damilola simply placed half a sneaker on a canvas board and smothered them with acrylic paint to create this great effect. It would be interesting to play around with this concept, different colorways, different shoes, and different mediums the would mimic the shoe materials themselves maybe?
