Markeidric Walker

Louis Vuitton Shoulder Bag, 2025.

Oil On Leather

Price $3,000

Markeidric transforms a Louis Vuitton shoulder bag into a canvas for oil painting, merging high fashion with fine art. The work depicts the late Nipsey Hussle and the tragedy of his murder, rendered through a classical lens that elevates a contemporary cultural moment into timeless iconography.

By placing this narrative on a symbol of luxury and status, Markeidric bridges worlds using the language of Old Master techniques to speak to modern loss, resilience, and legacy. The piece not only honors Nipsey Hussle’s enduring impact but also challenges viewers to consider how art, culture, and fashion can intersect to preserve history and reframe tragedy as monumental memory.

A bold blend of cultural commentary and craftsmanship, this work embodies Markeidric’s signature approach: reclaiming classical traditions to tell the stories of today.
