Oil on Canvas

Price: $3,000

In Thug, Markeidric reimagines the contemporary rapper as both icon and muse. Rendered with bold strokes and vibrant pops of red and blue, the painting radiates an electrifying energy that reflects the subject’s larger than life presence. The figure, adorned in sleek sunglasses, exudes a pop-star aura part glamour, part defiance capturing the duality of celebrity culture and raw artistry.

Markeidric blends street influence with fine art tradition, elevating the rapper into a timeless symbol of power, charisma, and cultural impact. The contrasting colors pulse with rhythm, echoing the beat of modern music while situating the figure within the grand lineage of portraiture.

This work stands as both a celebration of individuality and a commentary on fame, identity, and the aesthetic of contemporary icons.
