NO LIMITS
Get down with the kung fu hustle in Johnny Romeo’s fresh-jiving tribute to martial arts legend Bruce Lee, No Limits. Full of punchy candy colours and an irrepressible swag, the painting is a rollicking reimagining of Bruce Lee that delivers an electrifying dose of shaolin swag as it seamlessly fuses the worlds of breakdancing and martial arts. In the painting, Lee sports his iconic yellow Adidas tracksuit from the film ‘Game of Death’ (1978), pouting cockily towards the audience as he crosses his arms in a fresh B-Boy flex. Lee’s staunch cross-armed pose cheekily draws parallels to its companion piece Game Up, which features a sneering Pop Eye flexing his muscles with sheer punk attitude. Once instructing us to ‘be like water’ and ‘know our limits’, Romeo’s freestyling Bruce Lee now invites us to break free from the constraints of everyday life and embrace a radical new existence where there are ‘No Limits’. Ready to kick into action with a furious B-Boy performance, there are no limits to what this Zen warrior can do as he effortlessly makes the switch from shaolin master to the king of the cypher. Bruce Lee may have left us too soon, but his legacy lives on in the hearts and minds of anyone ready to bust a move in the dojo or the dancefloor.
