    D*Face- Dean Stockton Rise Above Original Spray Paint Painting by D*Face- Dean Stockton x Shepard Fairey

    Rise Above Original One of a Kind Collage, Spray Paint & Silkscreen Painting Artwork on Fine Art Paper by Graffiti Artist Legends D*Face x Shepard Fairey. 2021 Signed bottom back right by both artists' original collage with archived screenshots and spray paint. Framed in beech-stained black. 21 1/4 x 18 7/8 in 54 x 48 cm Riot D*Face Ruined My Day The Collaborative Essence of D*Face and Shepard Fairey The artwork titled 'Rise Above' is a profound testament to the synergy between two titans of street pop art and graffiti artwork, DFace and Shepard Fairey. This original collage, composed of archived screenprints and spray paint on fine art paper, is a powerful expression of the socio-political commentary that both artists are renowned for. Signed by both DFace and Shepard Fairey in 2021, the piece is framed in beech-stained black, measuring 21 1/4 x 18 7/8 inches (54 x 48 cm), and carries the unmistakable spirit of rebellion and resistance that defines the work of both artists. The collaboration between D*Face and Shepard Fairey for 'Rise Above' is a landmark moment in street art history. Both artists have individually contributed significantly to the evolution of graffiti and street pop art, and their partnership in this piece is a dialogue between two distinct voices that share common thematic interests. The artwork's title, 'Rise Above,' encapsulates the essence of the artists' shared ethos—a call to transcend the status quo and challenge societal norms through art. 'Rise Above' is a masterful blend of techniques, with each layer of collage, spray paint, and silkscreen adding depth and texture to the piece. Archived screenprints are a nod to the artists' past works, creating a sense of continuity and legacy within their oeuvre. The spray paint element introduces a raw, visceral quality reminiscent of their work on the streets, while the silkscreen process adds precision and complexity. This combination of methods results in a piece rich in visual and conceptual density. Iconography and Message in 'Rise Above' The iconography used in 'Rise Above' is laden with meaning. The piece features a portrait characteristic of DFace's style, reminiscent of the comic book aesthetics and skeletal motifs he frequently employs. This figure holds a sign bearing the phrase "DFace Ruined My Day," a self-referential statement that plays with the artist's name and reputation for disrupting the norm. Shepard Fairey's influence is evident in the bold typographic elements and propaganda-style imagery that challenge viewers to question authority and power structures. The socio-political impact of 'Rise Above' is both timely and timeless. By blending their signature styles, D*Face and Shepard Fairey have created a piece that speaks to current socio-political issues while remaining relevant to future generations. The artwork's call to 'Rise Above' is a universal message of empowerment, urging viewers to engage with the world around them critically. The collaboration between these two artists serves as a reminder of the potent role that art can play in provoking thought and inspiring change. The Legacy of 'Rise Above' in Street Art 'Rise Above' contributes to the legacy of street art by showcasing the potential of collaboration within the genre. The partnership between D*Face and Shepard Fairey exemplifies how artists can come together to amplify their message and impact. As both artists have been pivotal in bringing street art into the mainstream consciousness, this piece also reflects the maturation of street art as a recognized form of fine art capable of conveying complex narratives and evoking strong emotional responses. 'Rise Above' is a striking piece of art that embodies the rebellious spirit of street pop art and graffiti artwork. The collaboration between D*Face and Shepard Fairey is a testament to the power of art to communicate, challenge, and inspire. The piece's layered complexity, both in technique and symbolism, offers a rich visual experience and a poignant message that resonates with the core values of street art. As 'Rise Above' continues to be appreciated by art enthusiasts and collectors, it is a significant contribution to contemporary art discourse, reminding us of the transformative power of artistic collaboration.

    Mighty Jaxx SyndiCats Purrface Art Toy by Mighty Jaxx

    SyndiCats: Purrface Polystone Sculpture Limited Edition Artwork by Artists at Mighty Jaxx. 2021 New in Box 6" Polystone Art Toy Limited Edition of 300 Polystone Artwork Size 6x6 SyndiCats: Purrface Polystone Sculpture and Its Place in Street Pop Art The SyndiCats: Purrface polystone sculpture is a tangible celebration of the creative confluence of street pop art and contemporary collectible design. This limited-edition artwork, crafted by the skilled artisans at Mighty Jaxx, epitomizes the spirit of innovation at the heart of the urban art toy movement. The Purrface sculpture, a 6-inch polystone art toy, is a sought-after piece, with only 300 pieces available worldwide. It is a coveted item for collectors and enthusiasts of street pop and graffiti artwork. Purrface's narrative is rooted deeply in the lore of urban culture, symbolizing the street-savvy character often celebrated in graffiti artwork. The story of Purrface—a feline figure returning to domestic life after ruling the back alleys—resonates with the classic tales of power and control commonly explored in street art. His reign over the living room, dictating kibble distribution and overseeing the comings and goings, mirrors the territorial tagging of street artists who leave their mark on city walls to signify their presence and influence. Impact of Purrface on Street Pop Art and Collectibles The impact of the Purrface sculpture extends beyond its physical form. As a limited edition piece, it embodies the exclusivity and subversive edge that street pop art is known for. The polystone material used in Purrface's construction allows for a high level of detail and a weighty presence within the art toy community, both literally and figuratively. The piece is not just a static object but a narrative-driven work that engages with ambition, power, and territorial dominance—themes often explored on the larger scale of street pop art and graffiti artwork. Every design element of the Purrface sculpture, from the character's tattoo-like markings to its assertive pose with a violin (suggesting both culture and cunning), reflects the essence of street pop art. The fusion of a domestic cat with the attitude of a street-hardened character provides a commentary on the blending of urban life's roughness with the comfort of modern living. This piece, powered by Forreal, offers an interactive dimension to the collectible, enhancing its appeal and deepening its connection with the digital era's art collectors. The continued popularity and influence of art toys like Purrface indicate a promising future for poly stone sculptures within street pop art. The blend of artistic storytelling with collectible culture ensures that pieces like Purrface remain relevant and integral to the narrative of street art. As artists and designers explore new ways to bring street-inspired narratives into collectors' homes and personal spaces, art toys like Purrface will continue to serve as critical conduits for the messages and aesthetics of street pop art and graffiti artwork. The SyndiCats: Purrface polystone sculpture by Mighty Jaxx significantly represents the intersection between collectible culture and street pop art. With its limited-edition status and compelling backstory, Purrface captures the imagination of art collectors and serves as a bridge between the tangible art of sculpture and the often ephemeral nature of street art. This piece is not merely a static figurine but a representation of the evolving landscape of street art, where stories of power, survival, and ambition are brought to life in new and innovative forms.

    Sadistic Dog Walker- Red 2-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Fine Speckletone Art Paper by Shepard Fairey Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist. 2021 Signed & Numbered Screen Print SADISTIC DOG WALKER (RED) 24 inches by 33 inches Edition of 450 November 15, 2021 I’ve made several images over the years addressing police brutality, and I think humor and absurdity help make such a heavy topic more digestible. There is a violent history of police dogs being used to attack civil rights protesters, which contrasts intensely with the blissful perspective of white dog owners who pamper their dogs and hire dog walkers. Some of us never have to think about how the police abuse their power more frequently in non-white and lower-income communities. This “Sadistic Dog Walker” image encourages us to be aware of the “two Americas.” – Shepard

  • Global Warming Inked Art Toy Sculpture by Kerby Rosanes Global Warming Inked Art Toy Sculpture by Kerby Rosanes

    Kerby Rosanes Global Warming Inked Art Toy Sculpture by Kerby Rosanes

    Global Warming- Inked Limited Edition Polystone Sculpture Artwork by graffiti street artist modern pop artist Kerby Rosanes. 2021 Limited Edition 8" Polystone Sculpture New in Box. Inked Edition. The Symbology of Global Warming "Global Warning" is not just a sculpture but a visual narrative that captures the essence of street pop art and graffiti artwork. In this piece, a polar bear, an emblematic figure of climate change's dire consequences, perches atop a skull—a universal symbol of mortality and warning. The skull, often found in Rosanes' works, is not only a motif that resonates with the edgy and raw nature of street art but also a poignant reminder of the impermanence of life and the fragility of the natural world. The bear's poised and contemplative stance may be interpreted as a reflection on the current state of the environment, a theme that is urgent and relevant. The sculpture's name, "Global Warning," is a play on words, alluding to the global warming crisis while simultaneously issuing a warning about the potential fate of the planet. This clever wordplay indicates the thought-provoking nature inherent in Rosanes' creations. Kerby Rosanes' "Global Warning" is a sculpture that deftly conveys a critical message through street pop art and graffiti artwork. This 2021 limited edition polystone piece stands 8 inches tall and arrives in pristine condition, packaged within a box that ensures the artwork's protection and integrity. As a part of a unique series, this "Inked Edition" holds a special place in collectible art, especially among enthusiasts of Rosanes' work and collectors who appreciate the fusion of contemporary street art aesthetics with pressing global themes. The sculpture itself is a testament to Rosanes' mastery of ink-based artistry. Every inch of "Global Warning" is adorned with detailed lines drawn in ink, showcasing a level of intricacy that renders the addition of color superfluous. In this monochromatic world, the stark contrast of black and white does more than capture the observer's eye—it tells a story, ssues a statement, and provokes thought about our ecosystem's delicate balance. Monochrome as a Medium In the vast spectrum of street pop art, color plays a vital role in conveying emotion and building atmosphere. However, Rosanes takes an alternative route with the "Inked Edition" of "Global Warning." By employing only shades of black and white, he challenges the viewer to focus on the form, texture, and symbolism without the distraction of color. This choice is deliberate and impactful, as it mirrors the stark reality of environmental issues—often seen in black-and-white terms: action or inaction, survival or extinction. Rosanes' monochromatic approach also pays homage to the roots of graffiti artwork, which often started with only a can of spray paint and a wall as a canvas. In this sense, the "Inked Edition" bridges the traditional graffiti art style and the contemporary discourse on climate change. Artistry Meets Advocacy The intersection of art and advocacy is where Rosanes' "Global Warning" stakes its claim in the art world. It is a powerful representation of street pop art's ability to address societal issues head-on. The "Inked Edition" serves as a decorative piece and a call to awareness and action. Here, Rosanes' work transcends the boundaries of conventional artwork, becoming a beacon for environmental activism within the artistic community. As an object of art, "Global Warning" carries the weight of its message, harnessing the raw energy and spirit of street pop art and graffiti to highlight a pressing global challenge. Rosanes' choice to use polystone—a material known for its durability and fine detail—further amplifies the permanence of the message, suggesting that the issues of environmental degradation will not simply fade away. In the dynamic and ever-evolving world of street pop art and graffiti artwork, Kerby Rosanes' "Global Warning" stands out as a poignant, compelling work that captures the zeitgeist of our times. It serves as a stark reminder of the environmental issues that confront us and the power of art to elevate critical conversations within the public sphere. Through this limited-edition sculpture, Rosanes continues to inspire, provoke, and challenge, solidifying his place as a modern pop artist of significant influence.

My philosophy is actually “question everything”. Conformity is often more unconscious than conscious… an adaptation to structures we may not agree with and a submission to unseen forces of manipulation… unseen because our eyes and minds are not open wide enough. People come up with conspiracy theories like “the Illuminati” to explain the feelings that they are cogs in someone else’s machine, but the deconstruction of power and control requires nothing more than a conscious and diligent examination of how power and influence upon the government accumulate and concentrate under capitalism.

    Estevan Oriol- LA Fingers Black Limited Edition Rare Spray Paint Can Artwork Crossover by famous graffiti paint maker Montana MTN. Estevan Oriol LA FINGERS, 2021 Limited Edition of 500 Montana Spray Paint Can Color: Black Estevan Oriol is an internationally celebrated professional photographer, director and entrepreneur. Beginning his career as a club bouncer turned tour manager for popular Los Angeles–based rap groups Cypress Hill and House of Pain, Oriol developed his passion for photography while traveling the world. He began documenting life on the road and established a name for himself amid the emerging hip-hop scene. In 1995, Chicano street photographer Estevan Oriol held a now-famous photo session in which he asked a Latina model with a fierce set of claws to arrange her bling-gilded fingers in the shape of two letters: L and A. Her black, pillowy lips pouting in the background, the image presented a mesmerizing, defiant symbol of West Coast pride. It reclaimed the typography of the Hollywood sign and it reimagined the Dodgers’ interlocking L.A. symbol. Not since the palm tree, the smoggy freeway or the lonely Hockney swimming pool had one image so succinctly captured the essence of Los Angeles — inaccessible and forbidden until Oriol (with its full blessing) delivered it to us.

Technique and Design of "The Crack" "The Crack" is a compelling 7-color hand-pulled silkscreen print by the street pop art and graffiti artist Martin Whatson. Produced on 300gsm Somerset Satin paper, a preferred choice for high-quality prints due to its exceptional finish and weight, the 2021 limited edition piece measures 9.84 by 19.68 inches. This artwork emulates Whatson's style, which often showcases the contrast between black and white elements with splashes of colorful graffiti. Emphasizing the depth and texture, "The Crack" features paper embossed around the depicted crack, giving a 3D effect that brings the graffiti in the background to life.

Symbolism in Martin Watson's Work Whatson's "The Crack" can be seen as a metaphor for the unexpected beauty and complexity beneath the urban landscape's surface. The figure in print peels back a wall layer to reveal a vibrant world of color and life hidden underneath, symbolizing the artist's search for beauty in unexpected places. This visual metaphor is a recurring theme in Whatson's work, which often explores the relationship between the monochromatic, structured world and the chaotic vibrancy of street art. Contribution to Street Pop Art and Graffiti Martin Whatson has contributed significantly to the street pop art and graffiti movements by pushing the boundaries of traditional street art. His use of silkscreen printing, a technique with roots in pop art, bridges the gap between the studio and the street, allowing for the reproduction of his work while still maintaining a handcrafted feel. "The Crack" is a prime example of this blend, marrying meticulous stenciling with the unrestrained energy of graffiti. "The Crack" is a testament to Martin Whatson's innovative approach to street pop and graffiti artwork. It represents the artist's commitment to exploring and highlighting the contrast between the raw, expressive potential of graffiti and the controlled precision of stenciling, resulting in visually striking and conceptually profound pieces.

The Dead Kennedys, The Clash, Black Flag, and the Circle Jerks are just a few of the groups that referenced injustices such as police brutality and abuse of power in their songs, inspiring me to speak out about the same subjects through my art. I have made a lot of lasting friendships through punk rock and its cultural offshoots.

PP Printer Proof 2019 Signed & Numbered Blue Limited Edition of 150 3-Color Screen Print on 320gsm Natural Coventry Rag Vellum Size: 18 x 24 Inches Release: July 02, 2021. "I chose an image of Ron and Niagara where I think they both look amazing, but there was a nice balance between in-your-face aggression with Ron's pose making eye contact, holding his fist up, and Niagara's seemingly demure embrace of Ron, but anyone who knows Niagara understands that though she may look sedate, she's pulling the strings. I added a switchblade that she is caressing with her finger, as a way to amplify her femme fatale chic, and because I thought it lent itself to my original idea of a title 'Bonnie & Clyde Were Lightweights.'" – Shepard Fairey-.OBEY Niagara and Shepard Fairey's 'Tomorrow's Another Night': A Striking Silkscreen Collaboration 'Tomorrow's Another Night,' a captivating blue PP Printer's Proof silkscreen print, stands as a testament to the collaborative genius of Niagara and Shepard Fairey. This limited edition piece, hand-pulled on 320gsm Natural Coventry Rag Vellum paper, encapsulates the essence of modern street pop art and graffiti with its bold imagery and nuanced undertones. Each print, part of a limited edition run of 150, is signed and numbered, underscoring its exclusivity and the meticulous craftsmanship invested into every screen. Released on July 2, 2021, the artwork measures 18 x 24 inches, allowing intricate details and striking color contrasts to command attention. The print portrays two figures, Ron and Niagara, in a complex interplay of visual tension and harmony. Shepard Fairey's description of the piece reveals a deliberate balance between the overt aggression shown by Ron's direct eye contact and raised fist and Niagara's ostensibly gentle embrace. Yet, as Fairey notes, the true power lies with Niagara, whose understated demeanor masks a controlling presence, symbolized by the switchblade subtly caressed by her finger. This addition by Fairey amplifies the femme fatale motif and ties in with his original concept for the print, suggesting a narrative of concealed strength and influence. Exploring the Visual and Conceptual Depth of 'Tomorrow's Another Night' In creating 'Tomorrow's Another Night,' Fairey and Niagara delve into the dynamics of power, control, and the role of iconography in art. The piece's title and the imagery together weave a tale of anticipation and the recurring cycles of life's drama. The use of a limited color palette accentuates the graphic strength of the work. At the same time, the choice of a high-quality silkscreen process ensures that each color pops against the paper, offering a texture and depth that resonate with the layered meanings of the artwork. The collaboration between the two artists brings together distinct styles and perspectives, marrying the raw edge of street art with the finesse of fine art printmaking. Fairey's background in street pop art and activism and Niagara's punk rock aesthetic combine to create a print that is both a visual feast and a piece of social commentary. The contrast between Ron's defiant gesture and Niagara's subtle dominance challenges traditional gender narratives and invites viewers to look beyond appearances to the complex stories beneath. Cultural Significance and Artistic Legacy of the Print 'Tomorrow's Another Night' is more than just a piece of art; it is a cultural artifact that captures a moment in the evolution of street art and its intersection with pop culture. The collaboration between Niagara and Shepard Fairey represents a bridging of generational talents, fusing the spirit of punk rock with contemporary street art to create something nostalgic and fresh. The Printer's Proof status of the print adds to its cultural weight, as these proofs are typically reserved for the artist's and printer's archives, representing the gold standard of the print edition. Collectors and enthusiasts of street pop art and graffiti artwork value PP editions for their closeness to the artist's original intent and the fine quality of the print. In essence, 'Tomorrow's Another Night' is a shining example of the vibrant and transformative power of collaboration in street pop art and graffiti. It reflects the ongoing narrative of rebellion and the subversion of societal norms that street art embodies. Through this print, Fairey and Niagara offer a thought-provoking and visually impactful piece, solidifying their roles as influential figures in contemporary art.

Black & White Graffiti Street Pop Artwork

Contrast and Culture: Black & White in Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork

Defining Visual Language with Black & White

In the visually saturated world of street pop art and graffiti, the use of black and white stands out for its stark simplicity and profound impact. These foundational colors form a visual language that is classic and contemporary, shaping the narrative of urban landscapes. Artists have long utilized the striking contrast between black and white to convey complex messages, create dramatic visuals, and draw viewers into a dialogue that transcends the need for color.

Black & White: Aesthetic Choices with Purpose

The aesthetic choice to use black and white in street pop art and graffiti is not merely a stylistic one; it is often laden with purpose. Black and white can symbolize the binary oppositions of life, such as light and dark, day and night, or the dualities within society and the self. In street pop art, this dichotomy can reflect the artist's commentary on social issues, personal identity, or cultural narratives. The absence of color forces the viewer to focus on the subject, the form, and the subtleties of shade and tone that might otherwise be overlooked.

Technique and Texture in Monochromatic Art

Technically, working with black and white requires mastery over shade, tone, and texture. Artists manipulate these elements to create depth and dimension without relying on the crutch of color. The interplay of light and shadow becomes critical, with the gradations between pure black and pure white providing a spectrum of grays that add complexity to the pieces. Texturally, black and white can range from the smooth, clean lines of precise stenciling to the rough, expressive strokes of freehand spray painting.

Cultural Symbolism in Black & White Artwork

Culturally, black and white artwork carries a timeless symbolism. In the context of street pop art and graffiti, it can represent the raw, unfiltered expression stripped of the distractions of color. This monochromatic scheme is often associated with the past, invoking a sense of nostalgia while simultaneously being seen as modern and forward-thinking. The simplicity of black and white allows for universality in the artwork, enabling it to cross cultural and socioeconomic boundaries.

Composition and Clarity in Urban Canvases

Compositionally, black and white provide clarity and focus in an urban canvas cluttered with competing stimuli. Artists use these colors to direct attention, emphasize details, and balance the visual weight within their artwork. The starkness of black against white creates a visual punch that can make even the most subtle designs stand out. In large-scale murals, this contrast can create a visual anchor, drawing the community's attention and often becoming a landmark within the neighborhood. 

Black & White in the Evolution of Street Art

As street art evolves, the role of black and white remains central. These colors have been used historically in photography and film to convey a stripped-down reality, and street artists have adopted this tradition to cut through the city's noise. Black and white also have a practical advantage; they are often more resistant to fading and weathering, ensuring the longevity of the artwork. This durability makes black and white a suitable choice for artists who want their work to endure in the public space. In the vibrant realms of street pop art and graffiti, black and white are more than mere colors—they are tools for visual storytelling, emotional impact, and symbols for cultural commentary. The use of black and white challenges artists to explore the essentials of form, composition, and contrast, creating artwork that has the power to engage, provoke, and inspire across generations and geographies. In the monochromatic shades of black and white, the urban canvas finds its voice, and the streets become a gallery of human experience, etched in the most fundamental palettes.
