Wynwood, South Florida’s hub for creativity and innovation, is home to a unique artistic endeavor that redefines how we view sports memorabilia. OG4ever, a gallery that seamlessly combines sports and art, has become a standout attraction, blending the rich storytelling of athletics with dynamic, visually striking creations.
“Sports is already art,” explains gallery founder Aaron Davidson. “The content of sports is so rich that once you get these artists involved, their interpretation of art just makes it exponentially more artistic.” The gallery showcases a diverse mix of urban street art, sculptures, and what they call "artifacts"—sports memorabilia transformed into unique art pieces.
One of the standout contributors, Murray Henderson, brings his innovative touch to the collection by integrating authentic memorabilia into his artwork. “We know that a lot of people have memorabilia and do collect it, and a lot of times it's sitting under a couch or under a bed. And I said, ‘Why not incorporate it into art?’” Henderson shares.
Henderson’s work includes iconic items like Wayne Gretzky’s game-used hockey stick and Patrick Mahomes' mid-throw football, embedded seamlessly into his pieces. One masterpiece features a game-used floor signed by Michael Jordan, with the memorabilia carefully preserved and removable if needed.
His pièce de résistance, the "Sport Team Chapel," incorporates images and memorabilia from legendary athletes across generations. "That was my passion. I started that 2015 and just sort of finished it about three weeks ago,” Henderson reveals.
OG4ever’s mission extends beyond aesthetics. The gallery seeks to tell the story of how sports have united the world over the last century. “Sports will tell the story of the last 100 years,” says Davidson. “What sports has done to unite the world is immeasurable.”
For sports fans with artifacts gathering dust, OG4ever offers opportunities for collaboration with artists like Henderson. “It’s not just a picture of a hockey player or a Formula One driver—it’s art,” Henderson emphasizes.
