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.

The Greed Depression Large Format Silkscreen Print by NoName x Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled on Deckled Archival Cotton Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. 2023 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 80 Artwork Size 23.75x31.5 Silkscreen Print "My friend No Name and I collaborated recently on a print inspired by my cover for George Orwell’s “Down and Out in Paris and London” and our mutual irritation with greed and the brutality of many aspects of capitalism. No Name and I are both frustrated by the forces which convince much of the public to fall in line with a system that grinds them (and most of us) in its gears, and contributes to feelings of insecurity. With that in mind, don’t buy this print if you should use the money for something better or nothing at all. Should you think it over and still want a print, your money will support No Name’s public art endeavors and survival within the gears of capitalism… oh, and mine too! We both appreciate the support. No Name wrote about the print in greater depth, so I’ll let him take it from here!" -Shepard Fairey "I was introduced to Georg Orwell’s novels back in the late ’90s through my english teacher, an insignificant-looking sarcastic little man, who mantra-like implanted us the adage “use your common sense.” Nearly one decade later, I rediscovered Orwell’s books – and thoughts – through the appealing cover layout design by the kindred spirit street art activist Shepard Fairey, who I’m glad to call a friend today for many years. Shepard and I were discussing his illustration for “Down and Out” which he actually, for some reason, hadn’t made as a print edition yet. Due to the fact that Orwell’s dystopian books were/are one of the leading inspirations for our philosophy and work, Shepard offered to team up and use the illustration for a collaboration." -NoNAME

Coffin Deck Fine Art Limited Edition Archival Pigment Print Transfer on Wood Skateboard Deck by Street Artwork Graffiti Artist Justin Mensinger x Donatella Azygous. 2022 Limited skate deck made in collaboration with Donatella Azygous Custom carved coffin-shaped cruiser board 9X31.5 Coffin Deck Skateboard Art Deck by Justin Mensinger x Donatella Azygous Skateboarding Meets Street Art: The Coffin Deck Collaboration The Coffin Deck is a remarkable manifestation of how street artwork and skate culture intertwine, creating a piece that is both a functional item and a work of art. This limited edition skateboard deck, a collaborative creation by Justin Mensinger and Donatella Azygous, exemplifies how street pop art can transcend traditional canvases and infuse everyday objects with profound artistic expression. Artistic Fusion on Four Wheels Justin Mensinger, known for his work that often features elements from street culture, partnered with the enigmatic artist Donatella Azygous to produce a piece steeped in graffiti and street art aesthetics. The Coffin Deck, with its archival pigment print transfer on wood, brings the raw energy of street art into the hands of skateboarders and art collectors alike. The coffin shape of the board is a nod to the underground, rebellious spirit of skateboarding culture, symbolizing a departure from the mainstream and an embrace of the niche and the novel. The deck's design, marked by the stark contrast of black and white, features a skeletal figure that merges with intricate patterns and natural motifs such as butterflies. This juxtaposition of the macabre with the delicate suggests a more profound commentary on life, death, beauty, and decay – recurrent themes in pop and street art. Each deck, custom carved and sized at 9X31.5 inches, stands as a unique testament to the skill and creative vision of the artists involved. Confluence of Symbolism and Street Sensibilities In creating the Coffin Deck, Mensinger, and Azygous tap into the symbolic language of street pop art, where every image and every line is loaded with meaning. Using a skateboard as a medium is a statement, positioning the artwork within skate culture's rebellious, free-spirited world. It is a culture historically shared a symbiotic relationship with street art, each influencing and inspiring the other. The skeletal figure at the center of the design is reminiscent of the memento mori theme, a reminder of mortality richly woven into the fabric of pop art's history. Meanwhile, the butterflies suggest transformation and rebirth, offering a counterpoint to the somber undertones of the piece. Together, these elements create a conversation about the cycles of nature and humanity, encapsulated on a platform that is as much about movement and freedom as it is about artistic expression. The Legacy of Street Art in Skateboard Design The collaboration between Justin Mensinger and Donatella Azygous is not just a fleeting moment in the vast timeline of street pop art; it represents the ongoing legacy of street art's influence on design and culture. The Coffin Deck is a contemporary artifact that captures the essence of a movement – one that continues to challenge conventional views on art and its place in society. These limited-edition skateboard decks are collectors' items, but more importantly, they are pieces of a cultural dialogue that stretches back to the origins of street art and graffiti. With each deck, Mensinger and Azygous contribute to this conversation, adding their unique voices to a story constantly unfolding beneath the wheels of skaters and the brushes of street artists worldwide. The Coffin Deck by Justin Mensinger and Donatella Azygous is a poignant example of street pop art’s versatility and capacity to make a statement, whether on city walls or underfoot in a skate park. Through this piece, the artists celebrate the intersection of life, death, and the irrepressible spirit of street culture, crafting an object that is both a tribute and a challenge to the ever-evolving art form.
