Names like Shepard Fairey, Mark Gonzales, and Spike Jonze are among the many who channeled their lived experiences into their craft, learning through doing and revolutionizing their mediums.

It's not just an art book; it's an archive of a movement that left indelible marks on the art world and fashion, music, literature, film, and even athletics. The independent ethos these creators embodied may have evolved, yet their foundational spirit—a spirit of rebellion, innovation, and authenticity—remains unshaken. Beautiful Losers is a celebration of that enduring spirit, an invitation to witness the beauty in the raw, the unrefined, and the real.

Don't Listen To Them Original Hand-Painted Multiple (HPM) on Wood Cradled Panel ready to hang by Denial Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. Canadian artist Denial and Australian-born Ben Frost have joined forces in a bold exhibition of new work that explores the boundaries of appropriation, in confronting re-imaginings of our current dystopian society. Self-­confessed ‘visual thieves’, both artists have had a long history of stealing and subverting the cultural icons that the advertising and consumerist world has thrust upon us, to create new and pertinent interpretations that are as confronting as they are humorous. Denial’s art is strongly political and social since the artist takes specific positions against issues, such as capitalism, consumer culture, and advertisements. More importantly, the artist is aware of his choices and motivations: “I like to think of myself as activist pop art. How I relate with cartoons and graphics is a lot easier than I do with photo-realistic stuff" Another aspect of Denial's work is humor. His work is satirical, which, by definition, means that it uses humor as a confronting mechanism.

Cacophony Hand-Painted Multiple Archival Pigment Print on 3 Tiers of Laser-Cut Acrylic Panel ready to hang by Eddie Colla Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2020 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 25 Laser Cut Acrylic Artwork Size 18x18 "The Goldfish Girl was created almost a decade ago. I often revisit it, and she has been the longest continuing character I've created. I often write backstories for these characters to help me create the pieces, but they are generally never shared with the viewer. The Goldfish Girl was born in mainland China and raised mostly by a single father. Her mother passed away when she was 18 months old from cancer. She was often very ill as a child and was eventually diagnosed with a compromised immune system disorder, although a precise diagnosis was never given. This is the reason for always wearing the mask and gloves. Her father bred Goldfish for a living and taught her that trade as a kid. They worked side by side and rarely had visitors because of her condition. Often being extremely ill and also losing her mother made her childhood difficult. As most children do, she tried to find a reason for her misfortune, a reason for why all this had happened to her and her father. Eventually, she believed that her illness and her mother's cancer were punishment by nature. A curse for toying with nature by breeding goldfish. Eventually, her father passed away as well. Needing to make a living and also to taunt fate she illegally immigrated to Hong Kong. There is a famous goldfish market in Mong Kok on Tung Choi street, but it's commonly called goldfish street. With a compromised immune system the most dangerous thing to her was other people. As a challenge to fate, she moved to one of the most densely populated cities in the world. She got a stall on Tung Choi Street. This is her challenge, to taunt fate and win, becoming the master of her own fate. These images are vignettes of her life in Hong Kong. I've never given the character a name. Sometimes she is pictured with a boombox because music becomes a central companion to her mostly solitary life. In the piece Cacophony I wanted her to literally be surrounded by the city. In some way, I think I tried to create a character that embodied a lot of traits I aspire to. To remind me.” - Eddie Colla

Live. Work. Consume. Die. 49 Limited Edition Hand-Embellished Stencil, Spray Paint & Acrylic on Cradled Wood by Denial Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2015 Signed Limited Edition of 55 Artwork Size 12x12 "I have a fascination with television test patterns, there is something kind of apocalyptic about them. Like if you were ever seeing one then something terrible was happening. I also put some messaging in this piece that relates to what I believe is the true messaging in most television ads. Live, work, consume, die is really what TV is telling you to do, be it subliminally or not." - Denial Denial has evolved as one the most prominent figures of contemporary pop artists, who nonetheless, continue to stay relevant and is interested in generating thought-provoking commentary. He has a long history of exploring the boundaries of appropriation, which he uses as a means of subverting the value of cultural products, imprinted in the collective memory of the Western civilization. His work, in other words, is inviting the viewer to re-imagine our dystopian society as a way of confronting it, with humor and irony as the biggest tools of the artist.

Heath Ledger Joker Construction Zone Original Street Sign Painting by RD-357 Real Deal One of a Kind Artwork on Real Metal NYC New York Construction Zone No Trespassing Street Sign by Graffiti Art Pop Artist. 2012 Signed Mixed Media Acrylic & Spray Paint on Reclaimed NYC New York Construction Zone No Trespassing Sign Painting Original Artwork Size 24x24 Batman Villian Played by Heath Ledger in the Movie as Joker Looking at the Viewer. RD Tag in Rust Red. RD-357's Heath Ledger Joker: A Fusion of Street Pop Art and Iconography The Heath Ledger Joker Construction Zone original street sign painting by RD-357, also known as Real Deal, encapsulates the essence of street pop art through its provocative use of public signage repurposed for artistic expression. Created in 2012, this mixed media acrylic and spray paint artwork transforms a New York City construction zone 'No Trespassing' sign into a canvas, depicting the iconic Batman villain played by Heath Ledger in a way that both challenges and captivates the viewer. Contextualizing RD-357's Artistic Approach RD-357, an artist whose real name remains elusive in the true spirit of street art anonymity, is known for his gritty interpretations of pop culture figures on unconventional canvases. This particular artwork measures 24x24 inches and is a testament to street art's versatility, pushing beyond traditional boundaries. RD-357 draws upon the anarchic spirit of the Joker, using a symbol of law and order – a construction sign – to present an image of chaos and rebellion. The irony is palpable; the sign, which once stood as a warning against unauthorized entry, now invites viewers to engage with the art in a personal, almost aggressive manner. Symbolism and Impact in RD-357's Joker Artwork This piece is not just a portrait; it is a statement. By choosing Heath Ledger's Joker, RD-357 taps into the collective consciousness of a society fascinated by the anti-hero archetype. Ledger's portrayal of the Joker was posthumously celebrated, and his death in 2008 left a cultural imprint that RD-357 leverages in this artwork. The juxtaposition of the Joker’s figure against the backdrop of a New York construction sign speaks volumes about the chaotic undercurrents within the perceived order of urban life. The use of mixed media, with acrylic and spray paint, highlights street art's raw, visceral nature, while also paying homage to the vibrancy of pop art. The viewer is confronted with the Joker's gaze, which, coupled with the bright warning colors of the construction sign, creates an unsettling yet magnetic presence. This interaction compels the audience to contemplate the layers of meaning behind the piece – from transforming public property into a medium for personal expression to the dialogue between art and spectator that challenges societal norms and the very definition of public space. In conclusion, RD-357's Heath Ledger Joker on a New York City construction sign is an outstanding example of how street pop art can merge cultural iconography with subversive messaging. Through this piece, the artist immortalizes a beloved film character and raises questions about authority, ownership, and the role of art in public discourse. The artwork remains a one-of-a-kind testament to the power of graffiti art to redefine spaces and provoke thought long after the paint has dried.

Thriller Original Painting Acrylic, House Paint & Aerosol on Cradled Wood by Shark Toof Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2015 Signed Orignal Spray Paint Mixed Media Painting Artwork Size 24x36 The Artistic Fusion of Shark Toof's 'Thriller' "Thriller," an original painting by Shark Toof, is a dynamic foray into graffiti street art and modern pop art. Crafted in 2015, this mixed media artwork—acrylic, house paint, and aerosol on cradled wood—displays Shark Toof's signature blend of street influence and acceptable art discipline. The piece, measuring 24x36 inches, is signed by the artist, providing authenticity to this vibrant representation of his multifaceted style. Shark Toof, recognized for his powerful visual statements in the street art community, brings his graffiti roots to the forefront in this piece. His work is not confined to the traditional expectations of pop art; instead, it ventures into a realm where iconoclasm meets iconography. In "Thriller," the influence of street art is palpable, with the raw energy of graffiti translating into a structured yet spirited composition on wood. Shark Toof's approach to his work reflects a conscious decision to merge his established voice with a playful irreverence, challenging the viewer to consider the icons of our time and their mutable significance. The artwork encapsulates Shark Toof's philosophy that art should not always be taken too seriously, suggesting that there is power in subverting one's creations. This notion of 'vandalizing' one's icons is a commentary on the impermanence of fame and the fluidity of cultural symbols in our society. This blend of introspection and external commentary positions "Thriller" within a unique space in contemporary art. Shark Toof and the Do-It-Yourself Ethos of Street Art Shark Toof's preference for Detroit as a backdrop for his creative process tells of his affinity for the do-it-yourself, or DIY, ethos often associated with street art. His connection to the city, known for its prosperous industry and innovation history, mirrors his artistic journey. In Detroit, a city that has experienced grandeur and grit, Shark Toof finds a kindred spirit—a landscape that is both a canvas and a catalyst for creativity. "Thriller" embodies this DIY spirit not only in its creation but also in its presentation. Using cradled wood as a substrate is a nod to the makeshift surfaces often employed in street art, where any space or material can become the foundation for expression. Shark Toof's choice of materials—house paint and aerosol—further echoes the vernacular of street art, where the medium's immediacy matches the message's urgency. Shark Toof's "Thriller" celebrates the evolving narrative of street pop art and graffiti artwork. His work is a testament to street art's power to transcend its urban origins and find resonance in a gallery setting. Through his bold use of color, form, and medium, Shark Toof continues challenging and redefining what it means to be a street artist in the contemporary art world. His work is a dialogue with the viewer, an invitation to explore the deeper meanings behind the images we see and the icons we create.

In 2012, RD-357 embarked on a project that would further cement his reputation as a pioneer in the field, taking on the challenge of transforming a plastic dinosaur sculpture into a piece of contemporary art. The result was the "Graffiti Tagged Brachiosaurus," a unique synthesis of playful nostalgia and the gritty aesthetic of street art, encapsulating the essence of RD-357's creative vision. This artwork is a striking example of how RD-357 repurposes and reimagines found objects, such as a reclaimed toy from his child's collection, and imbues them with new life through street art. Once a simple plastic figure, the Brachiosaurus stands redefined by the bold graffiti tags and vibrant splashes of spray paint and acrylic. At 9.5x3 inches, the sculpture is modest in size but grand in its artistic statement, signed by the artist himself, serving as a hallmark of authenticity and a personal touch from the artist's own life. RD-357's Artistic Process: Marrying Childhood Innocence with Street-Savvy Creating the "Graffiti Tagged Brachiosaurus" involved a meticulous application of spray paint and acrylic, techniques well-versed in the graffiti art scene. RD-357 has taken the familiar form of the Brachiosaurus and layered it with complex patterns and symbols that are intrinsic to the visual language of street pop art. The dinosaur's textured skin becomes a canvas for a dynamic interplay of colors and shapes, with each tag and stroke of paint adding to the narrative that RD-357 constructs. This narrative is one of juxtaposition - the innocence of a child's toy contrasted against graffiti's edgy and often transgressive nature. The Brachiosaurus, a creature from a bygone era, is recontextualized through RD-357's art as a contemporary cultural artifact. By taking an object associated with the past and childhood and merging it with the modern urban art form of graffiti, RD-357 makes a statement about the enduring nature of art, creativity, and expression. The graffiti tags are not just markings; they are the artist's language, speaking to themes of transformation, reinvention, and reclaiming spaces and objects for art. Legacy and Influence: RD-357's Contribution to Street Pop Art The "Graffiti Tagged Brachiosaurus" is not merely an artwork; it is a testament to RD-357's innovative spirit and ability to see the potential for art in the unlikeliest places. It symbolizes street pop art's versatility and boundless nature, where any surface can become a masterpiece, and any object can tell a story. RD-357's work challenges the viewer to see beyond the conventional and to appreciate the beauty and complexity that can arise when street art intersects with the objects of our everyday lives. RD-357's contribution to street pop art and graffiti artwork is significant, as he consistently pushes the envelope with each project he undertakes. The Brachiosaurus, once a simple figure meant for play, now carries the weight of artistic innovation and cultural commentary, thanks to the artist's vision and skill. RD-357's artworks, particularly this unique sculpture, resonate with a broad audience, from art collectors to street culture enthusiasts, and inspire new approaches to street pop art. Through the "Graffiti Tagged Brachiosaurus," RD-357 expands the dialogue around what constitutes a canvas and where art can exist. His bold transformation of a plastic toy into a piece of street pop art showcases his talent and invites us to reconsider our perceptions of play, art, and the spaces in between. The sculpture is a vibrant example of the potential for street art to transcend traditional boundaries and enter into new realms of creative expression.

Traditionally, printer's proofs were seen as a part of the printmaking process, reserved for the printer's use and not typically for sale.

Tanuki Fighter Original One of a Kind Acrylic Painting Artwork on Fine Art Paper by Popular Street Graffiti Artist Nicole Gustafsson. 2014 Custom Framed & Matted Signed Original Image 3x3 Frame 8.5x8.5 Nicole Gustafsson's Artistic Vision Gustafsson's work, including "Tanuki Fighter," is often marked by an infusion of vibrant colors and imaginative elements that speak to the innocence of childhood fantasies and the complex narratives in urban street art. Her technique involves using acrylics—a medium known for its bright, opaque colors and quick drying times—allowing for the dynamic and layered compositions that have become her signature. The "Tanuki Fighter" is a testament to her skill in manipulating this medium, resulting in a visual spectacle that is as much a fine art piece as an emblem of pop culture. The "Tanuki Fighter" is an original acrylic painting on fine art paper by Nicole Gustafsson, whose work has significantly influenced street pop art and graffiti artwork. This particular piece, created in 2014, is a quintessential example of Gustafsson's unique aesthetic, which merges the whimsy of pop art with the raw edge of street art, creating a distinctive and recognizable oeuvre that has captivated a global audience. Depiction and Symbolism The painting depicts a tanuki, a creature often found in Japanese folklore, known for its mischievous spirit and shapeshifting abilities. Gustafsson has given this mythical creature a contemporary twist, portraying it as a fighter with a determined expression and a fighting stance. The choice of a tanuki as the subject matter is a nod to the playful and often fantastical themes prevalent in street pop art while also embodying graffiti artwork's transformative and rebellious spirit. The tanuki is presented in a simplistic yet expressive style, with attention to the textural details that give the character a lifelike presence. Its pose and attire are reminiscent of a sumo wrestler, adding a layer of cultural reference and humor to the piece.

Diaspora Rua Original Painting Enamel and Acrylic on Plexiglass by Askew One Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2015 Signed Original Painting Artwork Size 20x14 Custom Framed "Back in April/May of 2014, I spent around 6 weeks based in Los Angeles making these paintings for my solo show at Known Gallery. I was living and working above the TSL store, trying my best to make enough work to fill the space which was a pretty daunting task. The pieces themselves are a combination of head portraits painted in what I would say are my signature style and then also a series of smaller abstract works that signify the idea of migration through the Pacific, both in a historic and recent sense. The model for the portraits was my friend Sereima aka Stelly, who’s Sydney-based and of Fijian descent. To me, she really represents the changing face of the Pacific in many ways. Following on from a really successful show in Sydney, ‘The Evolving Face’ I wanted to move away from the mugshot poses of the previous body and bring more attitude and exuberance and Sereima was perfect because she is the absolute embodiment of those things." - Askew One Diaspora Rua Original Enamel Acrylic Painting by Askew One is a work of art created by the artist Elliot O'Donnell, also known as Askew One. Born in Auckland, New Zealand, in 1979, Askew One is a self-taught artist who gained prominence in the international street art scene, known for his unique blend of graffiti and contemporary urban art.

Knockout 17 Limited Edition 1-Color Hand-Pulled Silkscreen Acrylic, Spray Paint & Collage on 250gsm Paper Print by Greg Gossel Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2015 Signed & Numbered HPM Limited Edition of 18 Embleshed Artwork Size 18x22 "The Knockout! series is kind of a companion print to my Superficial! release from last year. This series is the other side of the coin to the aggressive punching character in last year's release, which I look at as a metaphor for the ups and downs of daily life. As for the creative process itself, this series is one of my more heavily layered editions. Each piece began with a layer of collaged vintage comic book pages to create a unique base texture. The pieces were then sanded, hand deckled, and built up with a variety of screen-printed layers, acrylic washes, and spray-painted textures giving the series a very rich and complex surface.This labor-intensive process mimics the layering and decay of old signage & street advertising and leaves each print in the series completely unique from the next." - Greg Gossel
