Hollow Breath Original One of a Kind Charcoal & Acrylic Painting Artwork on Cradled Wood by Popular Street Graffiti Artist Craww. 2013 Signed Original Acrylic Painting Artwork Size 23.5x31.5 on Wood Cradled Panel Ready to Hang Fine Art. Exploring the Depths of Craww's Hollow Breath "Hollow Breath," a captivating original artwork by the acclaimed street graffiti artist Craww, is a poignant example of how the raw energy of street pop art & graffiti artwork can be channeled into more traditional fine art mediums. This one-of-a-kind piece, created in 2013, is a symphony of charcoal and acrylic on a cradled wood panel, showcasing the artist's adeptness with both materials. The 23.5x31.5 inches artwork provides a generous space for Craww's dark, dreamlike vision to unfold. Signed by the artist, "Hollow Breath" captures the essence of Craww's signature style, which often features ethereal female figures enmeshed with elements of nature. The painting explores recurrent themes in his work: the duality of beauty and melancholy and the intricate dance between life and death. The charcoal lends a softness to the painting, allowing for subtle gradations and depth, while the acrylics bring a vibrancy that pierces through the monochromatic veil. Technique and Symbolism in Craww's Hollow Breath In "Hollow Breath," Craww's use of charcoal and acrylic paints is not merely a choice of preference but a deliberate decision to convey complex emotional states. The charcoal, with its smoky and diffuse quality, creates a sense of impermanence and fragility, echoing the transient nature of life. Meanwhile, the acrylics, known for their boldness and clarity, highlight the painting's focal points, such as the lilies and roses, symbols of purity and passion. The cradled wood panel serves as an ideal substrate for this piece, its solidity starkly contrasting the delicacy of the imagery. This juxtaposition reflects the contrasts found throughout Craww's work, where strength and vulnerability often coexist. The wood's texture adds an organic feel to the piece, grounding it in the natural world that frequently influences Craww's art. Craww's Unique Position in Contemporary Art Craww is uniquely positioned in contemporary art, bridging the gap between the often separate worlds of street art and fine art. "Hollow Breath" is a testament to his ability to navigate these realms, bringing street art's immediacy and authenticity into a format traditionally associated with galleries and museums. The originality of this painting and its readiness to hang make it not just a work of art but a statement piece ready to grace the walls of an art connoisseur. The sad beauty of "Hollow Breath" resonates with those familiar with Craww's work in public spaces. Yet, it also stands alone as a powerful piece of fine art, inviting interpretation and admiration from viewers who may or may not be acquainted with his street art. This versatility and broad appeal make Craww's work particularly compelling within the contemporary art scene. "Hollow Breath" encapsulates the haunting allure of Craww's artistic vision, merging the fluidity of charcoal with the intensity of acrylics on a canvas as enduring as wood. This original painting is a striking example of how street pop art & graffiti artwork can transcend their urban roots to create fine art that is both profound and accessible, carrying the power to move and mesmerize within the quiet walls of an interior space.

Dissection Of The White Rabbit Limited Edition Archival Pigment Print on 300gsm Museum Natural Fine Art Paper by Nychos Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. AP Artist Proof 2013Signed & Marked AP Artwork Size 16x16 "I painted this piece in January of this year, right before I went to Hawaii for Pow Wow. It was also featured in my recent solo show in Italy, showcasing some of my recent dissections. The concept is based on the graphical graffiti throw-up I have been doing since around 2005, but I had to do a dissection of this one! The image is now Rabbit Eye Movement's main (REM) logo. REM started as a street art concept based in Vienna, but I always saw the Rabbit Eye Movement as an homage to all the "rabbits" out there being" active in the urban art movement; it doesn't matter what mission they are following. The movement grew, and REM expanded to establish the REM ARTSPACE. This place addresses national and international artists from genres like graffiti, urban illustration, street art, lowbrow, and pop culture imagery. It allows individual and collective creativity to open minds and cultivate passionate inspiration." - Nychos. Nychos' "Dissection of The White Rabbit": A Modern Pop Art Phenomenon In the contemporary urban landscape, few art pieces have captured the imagination as vividly as "Dissection of The White Rabbit" by Nychos, the illustrious graffiti street artist. This limited edition archival pigment print on 300gsm Museum Natural Fine Art Paper stands as a hallmark of modern pop art and a defining piece within the street pop art and graffiti artwork genre. Created as an artist proof (AP) in 2013, this 16x16 artwork weaves complex narratives of biology, mythology, and urban culture into a single, striking, and thought-provoking canvas. Nychos: Anatomical Explorations and Urban Narratives Nychos, renowned for his unique approach to street art, employs a distinctive technique of anatomical dissection in his work. "Dissection of The White Rabbit" is a prime example, presenting a rabbit split down the middle to reveal the intricate workings of its internal organs. This piece was conceived in January of that year, just as Nychos was preparing to attend Pow Wow in Hawaii, and subsequently became a centerpiece in his solo show in Italy. Nychos's work delves into the layers that compose living beings, reflecting a deep fascination with what lies beneath the surface. By marrying the graphic energy of graffiti throw-ups with the precise detail of dissections, Nychos has forged a new path in street pop art. The artwork also functions as the emblem for the Rabbit Eye Movement (REM), a concept originating from the streets of Vienna. Nychos envisions REM as a tribute to the 'rabbits' of the urban art movement, symbolizing the active participants in this burgeoning cultural scene, regardless of their mission. REM has since evolved to establish the REM ARTSPACE. This creative hub celebrates a variety of genres, from graffiti and urban illustration to street art, lowbrow, and pop culture imagery. This space is dedicated to fostering individual and collective creativity and serves as a bastion for the free exchange of ideas, ensuring the progression and inspiration of artists worldwide. The Impact and Legacy of Nychos' Work The influence of "Dissection of The White Rabbit" extends beyond its visual impact. It embodies Nychos' profound effect on the street art scene, illustrating the transformative power of visual arts in urban spaces. The work is a representation of the artist's technical prowess and a symbol of his commitment to challenging the traditional boundaries of street pop art and graffiti artwork. As the primary logo for the Rabbit Eye Movement, it has become synonymous with a global network of artists dedicated to advancing the cause of street art. Through his work and the establishment of REM ARTSPACE, Nychos has played a pivotal role in shaping the dialogue around street art and its place in the broader spectrum of contemporary art. In essence, "Dissection of The White Rabbit" is more than just a piece of art; it is a cornerstone of Nychos' artistic and cultural contribution. This piece encapsulates the dynamism and versatility of street pop art and graffiti artwork, demonstrating how such works can simultaneously educate, inspire, and provoke thought. As Nychos' fame continues to rise and his works continue to captivate audiences around the globe, the legacy of his white rabbit, dissected and displayed, stands as an enduring symbol of the power and potential of street art.

Mickey Hiroshima Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints on 290gsm Moab Fine Art Rag Paper by Jeff Gillette Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2013 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 30 Size 14x9 "I am from the suburbs of Detroit, Michigan. In the late 1980s, I was a Peace Corps volunteer in Nepal for two years. During this two-year stint, I visited every major city in India, finding myself exploring the huge slums found there. On my return home, I moved from the Mid-West to escape the snow to teach High School Art in Orange County, California. Since finishing my MFA at Cal State Fullerton, I have been exhibiting in galleries both at home and abroad. My work is most often landscapes. A major portion of my output is paintings of slums of the developing world, where I often add an element of western cultural privilege (and oblivion) into settings of urban blight. Inspiration for what I call “Slumscapes” comes from the first-hand experience of traveling. Most often I return over and over to my favorite destination: India. In the vast poverty-stricken fringes of its vast megalopolises, I trip out on how the economic disparities are obscenely extreme. I’ve been spending a lot of time in Mumbai slums: photographing, filming, creating Plein Aire paintings, and creating interactive street art. Besides depicting slums, my artwork portrays post-apocalyptic debris fields, landfills, and detritus-cluttered deserts. The Juxtaposition of Disney themes and beloved characters (i.e.: Mickey Mouse) with all these dystopias best conveys my personal views. Pondering contemporary social, political, economical and philosophical conundrums, I can’t help but feel absurdly helpless, pessimistic and humored about the future of Western Civilization…" - Jeff Gillette

Goonie 030 Original Watercolor Art Painting on Framed Fine Art Paper by Surreal Artist Naoto Hattori. 2013 Signed Original One-of-a-Kind Watercolor Painting Framed Artwork Frame Size 8.5x8.5 Image Size 3x3 Custom Framed & Matted By Artist. The Singular Essence of Naoto Hattori's Goonie 030 In the vast landscape of contemporary art, there lies a particular niche where the surreal and the concrete converge. Here, the creations of Naoto Hattori resonate with a peculiar vibrancy, a kind of street pop art that blurs the lines between the urban graffiti art movement and the fantastical realms of the imagination. The 'Goonie 030' original watercolor art painting is a quintessential embodiment of this confluence. The work, created in 2013, is an original signed piece by Hattori, celebrated for its one-of-a-kind presence in the art community. The 'Goonie 030' piece explores the intimate interplay between the medium of watercolor and the surreal artistic impulses that characterize Hattori's oeuvre. The framed artwork, with an image size of 3x3 inches, is a window into a world that defies the ordinary, encapsulating a moment of creative genius in a compact space. The frame size of 8.5x8.5 inches houses the art in a manner that draws the eye inward, focusing the viewer's attention on the intricate details of the painting. Custom framed and matted by the artist himself, 'Goonie 030' is presented in a way that enhances its visual impact. The choice to personally frame the work suggests a level of intimacy and care that Hattori imparts to his pieces. This act of framing is not merely a practical measure but a continuation of the creative process, ensuring that the presentation complements the artwork's thematic content and aesthetic value. Naoto Hattori's Vision in Watercolor Naoto Hattori's work often transcends the conventional boundaries of street pop art and graffiti artwork, and 'Goonie 030' is no exception. The watercolor medium allows fluidity and softness that contrasts with graffiti art's often bold and stark lines. Yet, this very dichotomy elevates the piece, allowing it to speak the language of street art through a whisper rather than a shout. The subtle tonal gradations and the gentle pooling of hues in 'Goonie 030' demonstrate Hattori's deft hand and ability to convey depth and emotion within a confined space. While distinctively surreal, the subject of 'Goonie 030' maintains a passionate connection with the viewer that is frequently sought after in street pop art. The character depicted in the painting, with its endearing yet enigmatic features, serves as a conduit for personal interpretation, much like the transient and often interpretative nature of graffiti art murals adoring city walls. This piece, therefore, becomes a kind of visual poetry, a small stanza in the larger narrative of Hattori's artistic expression. Street Pop Art and the Intimate Scale The trend within street pop art and graffiti artwork has often leaned towards grandiosity in scale, with large murals and installations dominating the scene. However, 'Goonie 030' challenges this trend through its diminutive size, proving that impactful art is open to more than large canvases. In its compact form, this original watercolor painting invites a closer, more personal interaction, akin to reading a novel as opposed to viewing a billboard. In this intimate engagement, the viewer can truly appreciate the meticulous skill and delicate nuances that Hattori has woven into the work. The framing and matting performed by the artist serve to honor the personal scale of the piece, creating a boundary that distinguishes the artwork from the vastness of its surroundings. In a way, this echoes the ethos of street art, which often seeks to carve out a space for individual expression within the public sphere. 'Goonie 030', though housed within the private confines of a collector's domain, carries the spirit of street art in its very essence. The creation of 'Goonie 030' is a testament to Naoto Hattori's versatility as an artist capable of easily traversing the realms of street pop art, graffiti artwork, and surrealism. Through thl watercolor painting, Hattori invites viewers to reflect on the potential of small spaces to hold vast worlds within them. The work stands as a singular statement in the canon of contemporary art. This piece encapsulates the beauty and complexity of Hattori's vision, rendered with the grace and precision that only watercolor can afford.

Rabbit House Artwork Limited Edition Giclee Print on Fine Art Paper by Propaganda Artist Ron English. 2013 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 25 Size 32x27 "Rabbit House" is a captivating artwork by Ron English, an artist famed for his contribution to the propaganda art movement, which critiques contemporary culture through the melding of high and low art. The limited edition giclee print on fine art paper showcases English's expertise in juxtaposing surrealism with a hyper-saturated palette, creating a piece that is both a visual feast and a profound commentary on consumerism and the corporate infiltration of American life. The 2013 artwork, with its size of 32x27 inches, belongs to a highly exclusive series, limited to only 25 signed and numbered prints, making it a coveted piece for collectors. English's Rabbit House thrusts the viewer into a vibrant, almost psychedelic scene, blending elements of fantastical landscapes with familiar yet distorted characters and motifs. This vivid tableau is populated with mutated creatures and toys, expressing the artist's trademark fusion of reality with the absurd. The creatures in the scene are exaggerated and colorful, embodying English's critical perspective on the mutagenic powers of capitalism on nature and childhood innocence. The meticulous detail and depth of the piece draw onlookers into a three-dimensional space that feels at once otherworldly and uncomfortably familiar, echoing the intrusion of the fantastical into the mundane that is ever-present in today's advertising-saturated environment. Ron English utilizes the giclee printing method, revered for its high-quality reproduction of colors and details, ensuring that each element, from the reflective surfaces to the intricate textures of the flora and fauna, is captured with exceptional clarity by crafting a limited series of prints, English ties the artwork to the street art ethos, where exclusivity and access play pivotal roles. Like a street artist's fleeting murals, "Rabbit House" holds a transient place in the art world; its limited availability endows the piece with a sense of impermanence contrasting with the enduring nature of the paper it's printed on. English's work is a sophisticated blend of criticism and celebration of popular culture, offering an immersive escape while prompting introspective reflections on the world we live in. This artwork is not just a statement but a conversation starter, engaging its audience with layers of meaning and a rich visual narrative.

Margot Silver Hand Cut HPM Spray Paint Giclee Print by Kevin Stanton Artwork Limited Edition Print on Layered Glitter Fine Art Paper Hand Embellished Print Graffiti Pop Street Artist. 2013 Signed & Numbered Spray Paint Glitter Paper Hand Cut Embellished Limited Edition #1 of 4 Artwork Size 11.75x15.75 HPM Giclee Print. Silver Paper Collage of the Woman Gwyneth Paltrow as Margot Tenenbaum Stylized from the Movie The Royal Tenenbaums. Kevin Stanton's "Margot Silver": An Ode to Cinematic Iconography The "Margot Silver" hand-cut HPM (hand-painted multiple) Giclee print is a masterful creation by Kevin Stanton, a renowned Graffiti Pop Street Art figure. This piece is exceptional as a limited edition work, being the first in a series of four, each meticulously signed and numbered by the artist. The artwork, sized 11.75x15.75 inches, is a silver paper collage on layered glitter fine art paper, which has been hand-embellished to enhance its visual appeal. Stanton's piece pays homage to Gwyneth Paltrow's character, Margot Tenenbaum, from Wes Anderson's critically acclaimed film "The Royal Tenenbaums." Interplay of Film and Street Art Aesthetics Stanton's "Margot Silver" is a prime example of how the realms of pop culture and street art can intertwine to produce work that is both referential and original. The piece takes a character made famous in cinema and reinterprets her through the lens of street art, employing techniques like spray paint, which are traditionally associated with graffiti. The result is a bold, graphic portrayal that captures the essence of Margot Tenenbaum's character through stylized form and color, resonating with the vibrancy and immediacy found in Street Pop Art. This print is more than a representation of a film character; it is a dialogue with the audience, inviting them to revisit the familiar in a new light. Just as street art often repurposes public spaces to create something that commands attention and sparks conversation, Stanton's work repurposes the image of a well-known figure, encouraging viewers to engage with the character and the art on a deeper level. Craftsmanship in Contemporary Art In "Margot Silver," the craftsmanship is evident in the precise cuts and the thoughtful application of embellishments, which bring the piece to life. Using glitter paper adds a textural dimension that contrasts with the flatness often associated with spray paint, demonstrating Stanton's skill in marrying disparate elements to create harmony on the canvas. The work reflects a broader movement in contemporary art that sees artists bringing traditional techniques into the conversation with modern themes and mediums. Stanton's approach to his craft, particularly the intricate cut-paper method, echoes the meticulousness of street artists who spend hours perfecting their murals and stencils. His limited edition print, much like a carefully curated mural, becomes a landmark in the landscape of contemporary art—a marker of creativity and ingenuity. The Lasting Impact of "Margot Silver" Kevin Stanton's "Margot Silver" symbolizes the artist's dedication to pushing the boundaries of street-inspired art. By choosing to immortalize a cinematic character through the methods and mediums of street art, Stanton not only pays tribute to the character and the power of visual storytelling. His work stands as a reminder that the essence of street pop art and graffiti art lies in its ability to transform the familiar into something extraordinary, to imbue the everyday with significance and beauty. The print remains a captivating piece within Stanton's oeuvre, a testament to his ability to navigate and transcend the realms of street and pop art. As the art world continues to evolve, works like "Margot Silver" prove the enduring spirit of innovation that drives artists like Kevin Stanton to create pieces that are both of the moment and timeless.

Goonie 041 Original Watercolor Art Painting on Framed Fine Art Paper by Surreal Artist Naoto Hattori. 2013 Signed Original One-of-a-Kind Watercolor Mini Painting Framed Artwork Frame Size 8.5x8.5 Image Size 3x3. Custom Framed & Matted By Artist Naoto Hattori's "Goonie 041" and the Essence of Surrealism in Art "Goonie 041," an original watercolor painting by the surreal artist Naoto Hattori, stands as an embodiment of the delicate balance between realism and fantasy that defines surrealism. This one-of-a-kind piece, completed in 2013, is a masterful display of Hattori's ability to draw the viewer into a world that defies conventional boundaries. The artwork, measuring 3x3 inches within an 8.5x8.5-inch custom frame, is meticulously signed by the artist. Hattori's choice to mat and frame the piece himself adds an intimate touch, further personalizing the viewing experience. While typically not categorized within the traditional definitions of street pop art and graffiti artwork, "Goonie 041" resonates with the same spirit of freedom and expression that characterizes these art forms. Hattori's work often explores the subconscious, merging elements of the dream world with reality. The framed watercolor painting presents an image that, while small in size, is expansive in imagination, inviting the observer into a realm where the rules of the physical world are bent and reshaped by the artist's vision. Artistic Significance of "Goonie 041" Within Contemporary Art The significance of "Goonie 041" within the contemporary art scene lies in its juxtaposition of the meticulous technique of watercolor with the unpredictable nature of surreal subject matter. Hattori's skillful brushwork brings to life the textures and nuances of the figure, providing a stark contrast to the surreal elements that make his work distinctive. The composition of the piece, centered within the square frame, draws focus to the surreal figure, compelling the viewer to contemplate the story behind the image. Hattori's work, including "Goonie 041," contributes to a larger conversation about the intersection of various art forms and the ways in which artists can communicate complex ideas through diverse mediums. The painting's existence within a traditionally framed context does not diminish its connection to the more transient and public expressions found in street art. Instead, it highlights the versatility of surrealist art to find a home across a spectrum of settings and formats. In conclusion, Naoto Hattori's "Goonie 041" is a fine example of contemporary surrealism that shares an undercurrent with street pop art and graffiti artwork. The piece encapsulates the artist's profound connection to a deeper artistic narrative, one that delves into the realms of the surreal and the subconscious. Through "Goonie 041," Hattori invites us to explore the boundless possibilities of imagination, challenging our perceptions and encouraging us to see beyond the visible world.
