Hayden Bone - Official Arsenal Artist

Hayden Bone is the first officially licensed artist in Arsenal’s history, celebrated for his unique fusion of contextual, street, and pop art styles. Known for his dynamic visual storytelling.  

Hayden’s work captures the essence of Arsenal’s legacy, embodying the passion, unity, and spirit of the club. This November 2024,  his exclusive collection will be showcased at the prestigious Diamond Club, offering fans a vibrant glimpse into the heart and history of Arsenal through a powerful artistic lens.

Hayden’s technique involves meticulous attention to detail, harmonizing vibrant colors, bold lines, and intricate textures to produce artworks that resonate on both visual and conceptual levels.

Each piece is a visual narrative, inviting viewers to engage in a dialogue between the recognizable and the thought-provoking

Hayden’s work defines the emerging Contextual-Pop style - a hybrid of Pop Art and Contextual Art - sought by collectors around the world. Reflecting on his work, Hayden charts the evolution of his aesthetic, “it’s been a deeply personal journey, and it’s taken me to some fascinating places”.

For Hayden, whether it’s deconstructing patriotism, challenging our assumptions around money, sport or satirizing modern life, each piece leaves the viewer feeling galvanized.

As an autodidact, Hayden’s skill set is largely self-taught and has taken many forms over the years. “I began drawing from a young age, focusing initially on illustration and then exploring creative projects like animation and product design before transitioning to paints”, he explains.

As an artist, my work has always been about storytelling—bringing emotions, history, and identity to life on canvas. Partnering with Arsenal to create these licensed artworks was an incredible honor. This collection pays tribute not just to the club's glorious past, but also to the unwavering devotion of its supporters.

This collaboration is only the beginning. I’m thrilled to continue exploring the intersection of sports and art, creating works that resonate deeply with fans and collectors alike.

It’s an honor to be part of Arsenal’s story—and for Arsenal to now be part of mine.
