Regarding the exhibition held at the Museum of Contemporary Art, the artist stated: “Overground Post – pop” suggests that my art has risen from underground punk sculpture into broader spheres of universality that art carries. Also, the appropriated term “overground” refers to its inventors, the founders of punk Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood, whose rise from subcultural and iconic to universal is also part of the narrative.”
