SOLDIER for WAFFLESNCREAM
“waf. Skatepark Project”
SOLDIER for WAFFLESNCREAM “waf. Skatepark Project” launches Saturday 3rd February exclusively at Dover Street Market.
SOLDIER is a Lagos born artist from London embodying the new generation of multi-talented creatives finding their home in the UK. WAFFLESNCREAM, founded in 2012, is Nigeria’s first skateboarding company. They are committed to cultivating and amplifying the skate community in the region. The project aims to grow skate culture in and around Lagos by opening the first purpose-built and multi-functional skatepark in Nigeria.
In support of the waf. Skatepark Project, SOLDIER will be exclusively launching a selection of limited-edition hand-printed boards, featuring an iteration of one of his most sought-after paintings.
Titled “Ozioma (with a white rabbit)”, the original piece combines acrylics and pigments on cotton canvas whilst depicting SOLDIER’s eldest sister, aged just three years old at the time – the family member with whom he spent most of his time growing up alongside in Lagos, Nigeria.
For each deck sold, a percentage of profits will be donated towards the waf. Skatepark Project, supplementing the construction of Nigeria’s first purpose built skatepark.
