That's stemmed from working in the public realm for the majority of my artist career. How the public interact and engage with my large outdoor murals, led me onto building interactive installations so people can engage with the '3d paintings' Over the past few years this idea of relationships and the environment has found me looking at botanics and their role and effect on us. Primarily out of interest but it has lead me to understand the importance of certain plants, in regards to our health, mental health, sleep, anxiety etc. It has naturally brought me to the National Botanical Gardens Dublin Ireland to sketch and take photos of the plants I've found of interest. From those sketches and photographs I've integrated their loose forms into my 'hard lined' art and applied the new compositions to my print works." - Maser Habitats II, a remarkable work by Al Maser, exemplifies the fusion of graffiti, street, and pop art elements, capturing the essence of urban contemporary expression. This captivating lithograph, titled "Habitats II Standard Lithograph Flouro Mix Print," is a celebration of Al Maser's deep engagement with public spaces, relationships, and the intricate dance of human interaction with nature. Hand-pulled with precision on high-quality fine art paper, this 2019 creation exudes vibrancy, both in its color palette and its inherent narrative. With a dimension of 19.69x27.56, it is a limited edition, showcasing Al Maser's commitment to exclusivity, as it is one among a mere set of 75, each authentically signed and numbered. Maser's artistic journey has been characterized by his fascination with relationships, shaped largely by his extensive experience in public art. This interplay between the public and his large-scale outdoor murals served as a catalyst, urging him to craft interactive installations that serve as tangible "3d paintings." This exploration of relationships further extended to the environment, steering Maser towards the realm of botanics and their profound influence on human well-being. His curiosity about the role of plants in regulating health, mental state, sleep, and anxiety led him to the National Botanical Gardens in Dublin, Ireland. There, he sketched and photographed intriguing plants, seamlessly integrating their organic forms into his characteristically 'hard lined' art. Habitats II, thus, stands as a testament to Maser's unique approach, translating his real-world observations into compelling print works that resonate with a wide audience.

Black Graffiti Street Pop Artwork

Depth and Dimension: The Role of Black in Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork

Black as a Powerful Medium in Urban Art

Black, a color that can be both the absence of light and the amalgamation of all pigments in the art world, holds a fundamental place in the street pop art and graffiti genres. Its multifaceted and profound use provides depth, contrast, and definition. In the hands of artists, black is not merely a color; it's an essential component of visual storytelling that can convey various themes and emotions, from the stark and severe to the rich and sophisticated.

Techniques Embracing the Intensity of Black

The techniques used to apply black in urban artwork are as diverse as the artists themselves. It can be found in the sharp lines of stencils that cut through the noise of colorful backdrops or in the swirling shadows that give murals a sense of life and movement. Black often outlines figures and shapes, making them pop from their surroundings and granting them an arresting visual clarity. In addition, the texture of black paint or ink can range from a matte finish that absorbs light, creating a void-like effect, to a glossy sheen that suggests a sleek, modern aesthetic. Culturally, black carries significant weight. It can symbolize rebellion or conformity, chaos or order, nothingness, or the complex integration of all that is colorful. In street pop art and graffiti, black is commonly associated with the underground, the edgy, and the avant-garde. It is the color of the night, the urban, and the unknown. Black's ability to make other colors stand out while still commanding its presence makes it a powerful tool for artists seeking to challenge norms and make bold statements.

Compositional Balance and Boldness with Black

In composition, black's role is unparalleled. It offers an anchor within the artwork, a point of return for the eye amidst the visual excitement of brighter hues. Using black can balance a piece, adding a sense of stability and grounding. However, it also has the power to dominate, to turn a multicolored mural into a monochromatic statement, or to bring a sense of solemnity and gravity to street pop art and graffiti pieces. The future of black in street pop art and graffiti artwork looks as solid as the color itself. As urban art continues to evolve, the applications and symbolism of black are likely to deepen and diversify. New materials and methods will expand the range of textures and finishes available to artists, from the blackest blacks that absorb nearly all light to reflective surfaces that play with the urban environment's illumination. In street pop art and graffiti, black is a foundational element, a color as essential as the spaces it adorns. It is a color that speaks in whispers and shouts, a color that refuses to be silent, and a color that, paradoxically, brings the vibrant world of urban art to life. Whether used with precision or with wild abandon, black remains a testament to the enduring power and versatility of color in the hands of those who seek to transform the cityscape into a canvas of personal expression and public engagement.
