Holy Grails Yeezys Papyrus Blacked Out by Marwan Shahin is a 2022 two-color hand-pulled silkscreen print that merges luxury sneaker culture with ancient Egyptian visual language, positioned within Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. The composition presents a top-down view of a stylized Yeezy sneaker rendered in metallic gold against a deep black papyrus surface. The shoe is densely adorned with chains, padlocks, stars, pyramidal forms, and ornamental detailing that reference both hip hop iconography and pharaonic regalia. The blacked out Egyptian papyrus paper introduces historical material context, while the diamond dust application adds subtle reflective texture that enhances the opulence of the gold ink.
