Paul is also the first and only artist allowed to create Thomas and Friends in the interruptive style to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Rev. W.V. Audrey’s well-loved characters.
In his philanthropic accomplishments, Paul created a special canvas of the South African A1 Grand Prix car embossed with the image of Nelson Mandela’s 46664 logo. This painting was auctioned live on Sky Sports TV at the Durban race and the proceeds donated to the Nelson Mandela Foundation.
The exhibition will showcase some of Mellia’s iconic and cult images for the first time all together including American Cars, and Superheroes plus new & exclusive pieces from his collaboration with the Kraken Opus brand.
