The choice of the Calavera, or skull, as a motif is not arbitrary. It embodies themes of mortality, celebration, and remembrance, often associated with the Day of the Dead celebrations in Latin cultures. This ties the work to a deep-rooted tradition while presenting it through the lens of modern-day pop and street art. What sets this piece apart, even more, is its exclusivity. As an Artist Proof, it is not just a mere representation of Montejano's vision but also offers a closer, more personal glimpse into his creative process. Marked with the artist’s signature, this limited edition piece serves as a bridge between the urban streets from where street art draws its inspiration and the polished galleries that pop art often finds its home. Such a piece not only speaks of its inherent artistic value but also stands as a chronicle of the times, cultures, and emotions that birthed it.

    Shepard Fairey- OBEY Bad Brains Punk Showcase Rasta AP Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Bad Brains Punk Showcase Rasta AP Artist Proof 5-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Cream Speckle Tone Paper by Shepard Fairey Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist For Musicians Bad Brains. AP Artist Proof 2016 Signed & Marked AP Limited Edition Artwork Size 18x24 Shepard Fairey's "Bad Brains Punk Showcase Rasta AP" is a culturally potent piece within the street pop and graffiti art landscape. As an artist proof of the limited edition series, this 5-color hand-pulled silkscreen print on cream speckle tone paper measures 18x24 inches and was released in 2016. Signed and marked as an artist-proof (AP), it is a collector's piece that delves into the pulsating heart of punk's ethos and reggae's rasta vibrations, manifested through the lens of Fairey's distinct style. This artwork resonates with the energy of Bad Brains, a band that epitomized the hardcore punk scene with its unique blend of punk and reggae, a hybrid that paralleled Fairey's melding of art forms. The print captures the band's spirit with the commanding phrase "Positive Mental Attitude!" a mantra that Bad Brains championed throughout their career. Fairey's work is a visual echo of this ethos, presenting the band members with a backdrop of rasta colors, which not only allude to their music's roots but also serve as a nod to a broader cultural movement. Fairey, known for his influence on street pop art through works like the iconic "OBEY" campaign and the Obama "HOPE" poster, continues his exploration of music's intersection with visual art in this print. The piece is saturated with the motifs of Fairey's "OBEY Propaganda" — the star, the bold lettering, and the stylized imagery. These elements merge, not promote a band, and celebrate an entire cultural movement, reflecting the potency of street pop art in capturing and promoting subcultural movements. The "Bad Brains Punk Showcase Rasta AP" print symbolizes Fairey's engagement with the punk scene and his ability to encapsulate its raw, unfiltered voice within his work. It's a testament to the enduring dialogue between music and visual art, which Fairey has continually fostered through his prints, murals, and street art. This piece doesn't just hang on a wall; it screams with the voice of a movement, echoing from the underground clubs to the sun-soaked streets where street art and graffiti have long found their home.

  • Idiocracy AP Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Shepard Fairey- OBEY Idiocracy AP Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Idiocracy AP Artist Proof Limited Edition 4-Color Hand-Pulled Silkscreen Print on Fine Art Paper by Shepard Fairey, Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. AP Artist Proof 2016 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 550 Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print "I’ve always felt that art, entertainment, and humor can be the best delivery vehicles for social commentary, so I love the way humor is used in “Idiocracy” to make the social critique more digestible. The movie is a harsh but necessary indictment of the anti-intellectual culture and politics that seem to become the norm more and more everyday. The film is great in a cautionary way and has an enjoyable irony being a somewhat low-brow piece of entertainment about the perils of succumbing to a cultural rejection of anything intellectual or high-brow. In other words, the genius of the film is that it may actually get through to the audience it should reach, rather than just preaching to the intellectual elite" -Shepard Fairey- OBEY The "Idiocracy" AP (Artist Proof) silkscreen print by Shepard Fairey is a thought-provoking piece, symbolizing a potent blend of street art ingenuity with biting social commentary. Released as a limited edition in 2016, each piece in the series of 550 is hand-signed and numbered, affirming its exclusivity and value in the art community. Measuring 18x24 inches, this work is meticulously crafted through a 4-color hand-pulled silkscreen process onto fine art paper, a testament to Fairey’s dedication to quality and detail. Shepard Fairey, a trailblazer in the modern pop and street art scene, often infuses his work with social and political subtext. His "Idiocracy" print draws from the satirical film of the same name, utilizing its thematic core as a springboard for his own artistic expression. The movie's critique of a society in intellectual decline resonates with Fairey's own observations of contemporary culture, where anti-intellectualism is increasingly mainstream. Fairey's print channels the film’s irony, using the medium of pop art to comment on the potential dangers of a society that devalues knowledge and critical thinking. Fairey acknowledges the power of art, humor, and entertainment as catalysts for discussion and reflection on societal norms. By embedding these elements into his "Idiocracy" print, he not only captures the essence of the film's warning but also amplifies its message through his unique artistic lens. The print, which features the movie’s signature branding "Brawndo" and the tagline "It's got electrolytes!", satirically suggests that the brain craves not intellectual stimulation but rather a fictional beverage. This piece stands as a cultural artifact within the sphere of graffiti art, encapsulating the genre's inherent confrontation with social issues. Shepard Fairey's work is often characterized by its ability to transcend the boundaries of traditional art spaces, engaging with the public in environments that are unconventional yet visually impactful. The "Idiocracy" AP print continues this trend, marrying the rebellious spirit of street art with the evocative power of cinema to challenge viewers to consider the trajectory of cultural evolution.

  • Sale -18% This Land Is Your Land AP Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Shepard Fairey- OBEY This Land Is Your Land AP Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    This Land Is Your Land AP Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Artist Proof Hand-Pulled Screen Print on Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. AP Artist Proof 2012 Signed & AP Marked Original Run Limited Edition Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print of Neil Young Music Inspired Man Mountains Barbed Wire & The Phrase "No Trespassing This Land Is My Land" "This Land Is Your Land AP" is a captivating silkscreen print, hand-pulled by the renowned artist Shepard Fairey, commonly known as OBEY. Crafted in 2012 and marked as an Artist Proof (AP), this piece stands out as a limited edition artwork, underscoring the artist's reputation for producing iconic street and pop art. Measuring 18x24 inches, this print is meticulously executed on Speckletone Fine Art Paper, enhancing its visual appeal and ensuring its longevity. Shepard Fairey's inspiration for this artwork emanates from Neil Young's rendition of Woody Guthrie's song, "This Land Is Your Land." At its core, the artwork delves deep into the subjects of immigration policy reform, societal attitudes towards immigrants, and the inherent promise of America. Fairey, a known advocate for immigration policy reform, captures a thought-provoking message, highlighting a lost verse from Guthrie's song. This particular verse poignantly juxtaposes a "No Trespassing" sign with its blank reverse, suggesting that the land is truly meant for everyone, irrespective of societal divisions. The imagery — a man, mountains, barbed wire, and the stark phrase "No Trespassing This Land Is My Land" — is a potent blend of aesthetics and ideology. Woody Guthrie, who wrote the original song, was revered for addressing societal issues such as class inequality and the abuse of power. While some labeled Guthrie as "socialist," Fairey's interpretation celebrates him as a compassionate figure who championed the rights of the marginalized. In embracing this theme, Shepard Fairey's artwork becomes not just a visual delight but a profound commentary on contemporary issues, making it an invaluable piece in the realms of pop, street, and graffiti art.

AP Artist Proof 2016 Signed & Marked AP Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print—vintage Style Lead Fual Gas Pump with Danger No Smoking Sign. "This Danger No Smoking print is inspired by a screen print I made in 1990, which was the very first image I made addressing the environmental and health hazards of gasoline. I took this photograph in Providence, RI at the edge of a desolate graveyard, which probably intensified my interpretation of the peeling paint on the gas pump as a skull. I decided the symbolism provided by natural erosion was powerful enough to make the photo worthy of turning into a print. I always liked this image, and I rediscovered it while looking for images to include in a book surveying my entire history of environmentally themed art." -Shepard Fairey- OBEY Shepard Fairey's "Danger No Smoking AP" is an arresting silkscreen print that fuses the gritty aesthetic of street art with the polished finesse of fine art printmaking.

This theme resonates with the essence of pop art, where mundane commercial imagery is repurposed to make a statement, and it aligns with the spirit of street and graffiti art's focus on message-driven visuals. The artwork's size, 18x24 inches, is significant as it allows the viewer to fully engage with the detailed work, including the intricate patterns that add a layer of complexity to the straightforward cautionary symbols. Fairey's work is recognized for its commanding presence, often utilizing bold lines and stark contrasts to draw attention to the subjects he depicts. In this print, the stark warning signage contrasts with the ornamental background, creating a juxtaposition that is visually stimulating and thought-provoking. Fairey’s “Danger No Smoking AP” print is a testament to his commitment to social engagement through art. It holds a mirror to society's paradoxes, reflecting the often overlooked dangers lurking behind the glossy veneer of consumerist culture. This print, rich in symbolism and executed with the artist's signature style, is a powerful addition to the discourse on pop culture, environmentalism, and the transformative power of street art.

AP Artist Proof Fine Art Graffiti Street Pop Artwork & Prints

AP Artist Proofs: Elevating the Essence of Street Pop and Graffiti Art

AP (Artist Proof) artworks and prints play an integral role in the tapestry of street pop art and graffiti artwork, embodying a blend of historical reverence and contemporary relevance. Originally, artist proofs were exclusive prints from traditional printmaking, used by artists as a personal reference to monitor the progress and quality of their work. In street pop and graffiti art, however, these proofs have evolved into symbols of authenticity, exclusivity, and artistic exploration. The transformation of the artist's proof's significance from a mere check during the printmaking process to a coveted collector's item is remarkable. In street pop and graffiti art, where authenticity and originality are highly valued, AP artworks and prints command a special status. Marked distinctively with 'AP' to denote their exclusivity, these limited-run prints are identical in quality to the main edition. Still, they are unique due to their limited number and direct link to the artist. This exclusivity makes them desirable to collectors and allows the artists to retain a more personal connection with some of their creations.

Understanding AP Artist Proof Fine Art Artworks & Prints in Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork

In the dynamic and evolving world of street pop art and graffiti artwork, AP (artist-proof) artworks and prints hold a special place. Originally a term used in traditional printmaking, an Artist Proof was a print taken during the printmaking process to see the state of a plate (or screen, stone, block, etc.) while it was being worked on. These proofs were not meant for public sale; they were personal pieces for the artist's collection. However, in contemporary times, especially in street pop art and graffiti artwork, the concept of Artist Proofs has taken on a new significance. AP artworks and prints in the context of street pop and graffiti art are often seen as a mark of authenticity and exclusivity. These pieces are typically part of a limited run of prints, separate from the main edition. They are identical in quality and appearance to the main edition prints but are often numbered differently, usually marked with 'AP' or 'Artist Proof.' The tradition of creating Artist Proofs continues as a homage to the historical practices of printmaking, and it also serves as a way for artists to retain a portion of their work for personal archives or special distributions.

Significance of AP Fine Artworks in the Street Pop and Graffiti Art Community

The allure of AP artworks in street pop and graffiti art comes from their limited availability and direct connection to the artist. Collectors and enthusiasts often view Fine Art prints as more valuable due to their rarity and the perceived closer relationship to the artist's original intent. In a world where reproductions and mass-produced art are commonplace, AP prints stand out for their uniqueness and the personal touch they represent. This scarcity often leads to a higher demand and potentially higher market value, making them a coveted item among collectors. Moreover, the production of AP prints allows artists in the street pop and graffiti art scene to experiment and innovate. Artists might use the AP prints to test different color schemes, materials, or finishing techniques, making each AP a replication and a unique piece. This experimentation is integral to the ever-evolving nature of street and graffiti art, where artists constantly push the boundaries of conventional art.

Rarity and Value in the Art Market

The rarity of AP prints in the street pop and graffiti art scene enhances their allure and, often, their market value. In an era where art is frequently mass-produced and widely distributed, the limited availability of AP prints heightens their desirability. Collectors and art enthusiasts prize these prints for their perceived closeness to the artist's original vision and the sense of owning a unique piece of art history. This rarity is not just a matter of quantity; it's a testament that each AP print has a unique path from the artist's hands to the collector's. For street pop and graffiti artists, AP prints serve as an avenue for experimentation. These proofs allow artists to try different color schemes, materials, or finishes, deviating from the standard edition. This experimentation is crucial in street and graffiti art, where innovation and defying norms are at the heart of the craft. Each AP print, therefore, is not just a replication of the original artwork but also a standalone piece with its distinct character.

AP Artworks as a Cultural and Artistic Statement

In the broader cultural context, AP prints in street pop and graffiti artwork represent more than just a physical piece of art. They symbolize the rebellion against traditional art norms, where street and graffiti artists have long fought for recognition in the mainstream art world. Owning an AP print from a renowned street or graffiti artist is not just about possessing a rare item; it's about supporting and acknowledging the significance of these art forms in the contemporary art narrative. This cultural significance is further amplified by the stories and messages often embedded in street pop and graffiti art. These artworks frequently comment on social, political, and cultural issues, offering a raw and unfiltered perspective often missing from conventional art forms. AP prints of such artworks carry with them the weight of these messages, serving as a reminder of the power of art as a tool for social commentary and change. AP Artist Proof artworks and prints are vital in street pop art and graffiti artwork. They are a testament to these art forms' unique history, creative innovation, and cultural significance, bridging the gap between traditional art practices and contemporary art expressions. Their rarity and connection to the artist's personal touch make them valuable collectibles and a symbol of the evolving narrative of street and graffiti art in the global art scene. AP Artist Proof artworks and prints hold an esteemed position in street pop art and graffiti artwork. They encapsulate these art forms' history, creativity, and cultural significance. The blend of traditional art practice with contemporary expression found in these prints makes them valuable collectibles and cements their role in the evolving narrative of street and graffiti art. As symbols of rarity, authenticity, and artistic innovation, AP prints continue to bridge the gap between the artist's vision and the art enthusiast's appreciation, enriching the global art scene.
