Train (Brown) is a quiet standout from Super Malo’s painted train series. Muted tones, heavy lids, and a lingering question mark set the tone. A masked face stretches across the boxcar, eyes half-shut in apathy or exhaustion, flanked by a teal panel stamped with 2+2=5 and a lone “?”. Painted in acrylic on a toy train car, the piece reads like a rolling thought bubble—part graffiti, part slow-burning protest.

About The Artist
Super Malo (Fabian Lopez b. 1996) doesn’t ask for permission—he asks questions. Best known for his masked figure and the cryptic equation “2+2=5?”, the Havana-based artist uses street walls like truth bombs, confronting repression, distortion, and state-fed narratives with a spray can and a wink. His alias is a play on perception: super bad or just super real? Either way, it sticks. Drawing from Orwellian logic and Cuban realities, Super Malo’s work balances political charge with graphic clarity and dark humor. In 2024, Mania presented Beyond the Frame: Havana, his Canadian debut—pulling his message from the streets of Cuba into the gallery space without losing a drop of voltage. Super Malo isn’t just painting walls—he’s cracking them open.
