Hideout Gallery has just opened up shop, and they’re releasing some amazing photos of some very talented artists. Each week, a new print will be released featuring a variety of musicians, actors and comedians. Each photo print comes in multiple sizes, limited editions, and all are signed and numbered by the photographer. First up is the hottest rapper from Sri Lanka, M.I.A as photographed by Matthew Salacuse.

When we look back on 2000s pop culture it’ll probably be remembered as the decade we explored and reinterpreted the 80s. M.I.A. represents this more than any other figure with her beats, fashion, art, and politically infused lyrics. This photo was captured in 2004 and published by Pound Magazine (a Toronto-based hip-hop magazine) just prior to her first official album release Arular.

We love this photograph as it seems like personal outtake from a photo shoot, but we suspect the photographer and publisher were aiming for a unique, expressive and atypical music portrait of M.I.A.

Art print dimensions below refer to the size of the photo paper on which the image is printed.
Photographer signed and numbered art prints are shipped 3-4 week from order confirmation.
