  • Cost of Oil AP Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Shepard Fairey- OBEY Cost of Oil AP Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Cost of Oil AP Artist Proof Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled 2-Color on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork Obey Pop Culture Artist. AP Artist Proof 2008 Signed & Marked AP Limited Edition Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print. The "Cost of Oil" silkscreen print by Shepard Fairey is a provocative piece that cuts to the heart of street pop art and graffiti artwork's capacity to confront and question socio-political issues. Released in 2008 as an artist proof (AP), this limited edition artwork is a visual exploration of the themes of energy consumption, environmental impact, and the geopolitical ramifications implicit in the pursuit of oil. Signed and marked as an AP by Fairey, the piece measures 18x24 inches and is printed on cream speckletone fine art paper. Known for his intelligent and critical approach to cultural commentary, Fairey's "Cost of Oil" embodies the essence of his street pop art practice. The artwork is anchored by the bold, declarative question, "What is the cost of oil?" which resonates against the backdrop of a commanding visual narrative. The image features a solitary figure, clad in a shirt emblazoned with "USA," filling up a Hummer's gas tank—a potent symbol of American consumption and the military-industrial complex. The radiant sunburst behind the figure and the dripping blood-red bottom underscores the dichotomy of light and darkness in the discourse around freedom and its costs. This 2-color hand-pulled print is a quintessential example of Fairey's work, aligning itself with the 'OBEY' campaign's goal to stimulate discussion and reflect on the pervasive propaganda in public spaces. The 'OBEY' motif has always sought to challenge observers to question the mechanisms and messages in their environment, and "Cost of Oil" extends this challenge to the global issue of oil dependency and its vast implications. As a piece of street pop art, the "Cost of Oil" is a catalyst for dialogue, pushing the boundaries of what art can communicate and how it can influence public thought. It's a stark reminder of the power of visual art as a means of activism and advocacy and of Fairey's enduring role in using his art to spotlight crucial issues. The print remains a relevant and stirring piece within the oeuvre of Fairey's work and the larger conversation about energy, environmentalism, and the actual price of consumption.

  • The Nomads 15th Anniversary Party 1996 Silkscreen Print by Frank Kozik

    Frank Kozik The Nomads 15th Anniversary Party 1996 Silkscreen Print by Frank Kozik

    Nomads 15th Anniversary Party 1996 Silkscreen Print by Frank Kozik Hand-Pulled on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. 1996 Signed by Kozik & Numbered Limited Edition of 675 Artwork Size 22.5x17.5 Silkscreen Print Band Gig Poster by Frank Kozik Nomads, Studion, Stockholm Sweden 5-6-1996 Depicts A Muscle Car Burning Out Celebrating the 15th anniversary of the legendary Nomads, this distinctively vibrant silkscreen print from 1996 holds a significant place in the world of pop street art. Created by the inimitable Frank Kozik, renowned for his poster art, this artwork is more than a mere decoration - it serves as a testament to the era it embodies, an artifact of the vibrant street art culture of the late 20th century. Hand-pulled on high-quality fine art paper, this print radiates a raw, authentic feel. Its dimensions, 22.5x17.5 inches, make it a robust statement piece. With a limited edition of just 675, each copy is signed by Kozik himself and meticulously numbered. This meticulousness in the production process elevates the work beyond the ephemeral nature usually associated with street art, making it a collectible piece. Staged at the Studion in Stockholm, Sweden, on the 5th of June, 1996, the Nomads' anniversary gig was immortalized by this striking print. It depicts a muscle car engaged in an electrifying burnout, a bold image that vibrates with the punk-infused energy of the Nomads' music and the rebellious street art spirit that Kozik champions. The imagery is both a tribute to the heady power of the automobile and a symbol of the band's audacious spirit. This piece doesn't merely commemorate a concert, but a particular moment in time and the cultural shifts happening within it. The explosive vehicular illustration is a tangible representation of the era's energy, capturing the essence of the Nomads' music, and the fiery spirit of Kozik's artistry. The juxtaposition of a refined fine art print with a subject steeped in grit and rebellion makes for a captivating paradox. The 1996 Nomads 15th Anniversary silkscreen print by Frank Kozik is indeed a hallmark of pop street art, a tangible connection to a pulsating past.

  • Supreme KAWS Chalk Logo Deck- Yellow Skateboard by Kaws- Brian Donnelly

    Kaws- Brian Donnelly Supreme KAWS Chalk Logo Deck- Yellow Skateboard by Kaws- Brian Donnelly

    Supreme KAWS Chalk Logo Deck- Yellow Limited Edition Skateboard Deck art by Designer Brand Supreme. SS21 2021- The Supreme KAWS Chalk Logo Skateboard Deck Red showcases the classic KAWS box logo, as seen in his prior collaboration with Supreme. The logo spans the entire deck width and was released on February 18th, 2021, Supreme's Spring/Summer 2021 season. Supreme KAWS Chalk Logo Deck: A Vibrant Artifact of Street Pop Art The Supreme KAWS Chalk Logo Deck in yellow, released as part of the Spring/Summer 2021 collection, is a vibrant testament to the fusion of street pop art and skateboarding culture. This limited edition piece captures the essence of the collaboration between the iconic streetwear brand Supreme and the artist KAWS, whose influence in pop art, street art, and graffiti art is globally recognized. The deck was unveiled on February 18th, 2021, aligning with Supreme's seasonal drop. It features the classic KAWS box logo in a design that spans the entirety of the deck's surface. The choice of yellow for this skateboard deck is particularly poignant. In color psychology, yellow is associated with joy, energy, and visibility, which resonates with the spirit of skateboarding—a sport and culture known for its vibrancy and dynamism. The stark contrast of the black chalk-like outline of the KAWS logo against the bright yellow background ensures visual impact and alludes to the raw, expressive lines found in graffiti art. Cultural Intersection: Supreme and KAWS's Shared Aesthetic The collaboration between Supreme and KAWS symbolizes the interplay between fashion, art, and street culture, with each skateboard deck from this partnership serving as a movable art piece. The KAWS logo, a motif frequently appearing in his art, symbolizes a more profound critique of consumerism and popular culture, consistently explored in street pop art. The expansive reach of the logo across the deck suggests an encompassing influence reminiscent of how street art often dominates and defines the spaces it inhabits. The release of the Supreme KAWS Chalk Logo Deck in yellow is also a reflection of the times, aligning with the sentiments of the Spring/Summer season—a period typically associated with renewal and vitality. The timing of the release, coupled with the skateboard deck's design, speaks to the ever-evolving narrative of street pop art, which continually seeks to capture the zeitgeist in tangible forms. This deck, therefore, is not merely a tool for skateboarding; it is a snapshot of contemporary art and cultural expression encapsulated in a format that is accessible and useful. This particular deck resonates with the broader themes of street pop art and graffiti artwork, which often utilize public symbols and spaces to make personal, political statements, and everything in between. With its bold color and iconic imagery, the Supreme KAWS Chalk Logo Deck in yellow becomes a medium through which the artist and brand communicate with a broader audience, transcending traditional art spaces and embedding themselves within the fabric of daily life.

    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.

    Ganas Vaquero- AP Artist Proof Hand-Pulled Silkscreen Print on Fine Art Paper by Latino Artist Ernesto Yerena Montejano- Hecho Con Ganas Limited Edition Artwork. AP Artist 2010 Signed & Marked Limited Edition Artwork Size 18x24 Ganas Vaquero is an emblematic work of art by the esteemed Latino artist Ernesto Yerena Montejano. This piece is not merely a testament to Montejano's creative prowess but also offers a nuanced commentary on the wider cultural milieu. Evident from its title which translates to "Cowboy Desire", this hand-pulled silkscreen print encapsulates a compelling juxtaposition between traditionalism and modernity, inherent within Latino culture. Crafted meticulously on fine art paper, the print mirrors the tactile and aesthetic quality that Montejano's oeuvre is celebrated for. As part of the "Hecho Con Ganas" series, this artwork is a shining example of Limited Edition Art, created with a sense of purpose and passion. The fact that it’s an AP (Artist Proof) from 2010 makes it especially rare and sought after among art collectors and enthusiasts. An artist proof, historically, refers to a print made from a plate during the process to check the quality. They hold a special place in the heart of printmaking and are often more valuable than regular prints because of their limited numbers and the artist's direct involvement in their creation. Positioned at the crossroads of pop art, street art, and graffiti, Ganas Vaquero exemplifies Montejano's unique ability to intertwine varied art forms while staying rooted in his cultural identity. The size of the artwork, 18x24 inches, ensures it captures attention while also being adaptable to diverse display settings. The signature of the artist affirms its authenticity, and the marking as a limited edition piece solidifies its exclusive status. Montejano's work thus doesn’t just serve as a representation of Latino heritage, but as a dialogue between global art forms, cultural identities, and individual creativity.

Chaz Bojorquez's Contribution to the Visual Dialogue of C/S III Chaz Bojorquez contributes to C/S III with his iconic calligraphic touch, a feature that has become synonymous with his name. His style, deeply influenced by the Cholo graffiti culture, brings an intricate and flowing contrast to the stark boldness of Slick's figures. The backdrop of the print is a canvas of Bojorquez's signature lettering, which creates a visual depth and speaks to the historical roots of graffiti as a form of street-level communication. Bojorquez's work transcends the aesthetic, engaging with themes of cultural identity and social commentary and celebrating the often-underrepresented communities that form the backbone of urban street culture. The distressed pearl white finish of the print adds a layer of complexity, introducing a sense of age and resilience that mirrors the often-temporal nature of street art.

Through their joint efforts, OG Slick and Chaz Bojorquez invite audiences to explore the narratives embedded within urban landscapes, using the language of street pop art to communicate stories that are often overlooked. The limited edition nature of the print, its meticulous craftsmanship, and the prestige of the artists' signatures come together to cement C/S III as a significant work within contemporary art history.

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.

    Saber Priority Mail 228-2016 Slap-Up Label Sticker Original Tag Art by Saber

    Priority Mail 228-2016 Slap-Up Label Sticker Original Tag Art by Saber Original Permanent Drawing Art on USPS Mailing Label by Graffiti Artist Modern Street Artwork. 2020 Signed by Tag Original Slap Up Graffiti Art Tag 4.25x5.5 Color Marker on USPS United States Postal Service Priority Mail Label 228-2016.  Priority Mail 228 Labels: Slap-Up Canvas for the Streets Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork have become synonymous with urban landscapes' raw, vibrant, and often controversial energy. Amongst the most captivating forms of this art is the slap-up label sticker, a brief piece that combines the guerrilla tactics of street art with the aesthetic approach of pop art. These stickers, often found adorning city walls, lampposts, and mailboxes, carry the pulse of the streets and the artist's signature. The United States Postal Service's Priority Mail 228 label is a particularly iconic medium within this genre. Initially intended for postal use, artists have repurposed these labels as canvases for their work. With its distinctive red, white, and blue design, the label offers an instantly recognizable backdrop deeply rooted in American iconography. This juxtaposition of official symbolism with the rebellious nature of graffiti creates a powerful, provocative, and patriotic visual statement. Graffiti artists like Saber have transformed these labels into vehicles of personal expression and social commentary. Saber, an American artist named Ryan Weston Shook, is known for his work within the graffiti community and beyond. His involvement with the art form dates back to the 1990s, and he has since become a notable figure in the street art world.  Tag Art: Marking Presence and Identity Tagging, which involves writing one's alias or signature in a stylized form, is central to graffiti culture. It's a means of claiming territory, asserting identity, and engaging with the public in a dialogue often unmediated by gallery spaces' conventions. The Saber piece utilizes a blue permanent marker to create a tangle of lines and shapes that coalesce into his distinctive tag. Measuring 4.25x5.5 inches, this slap-up label sticker is a quintessential example of tag art, embodying the spontaneity and personal touch that are hallmarks of the genre. Created in 2020 and signed by the artist, this piece carries the weight of authenticity and the immediacy of street art. Despite its small scale, the tag commands attention, with the intensity of the blue marker standing bold against the label's pre-printed elements. The label's date, March 2016, provides a temporal context, anchoring the artwork in a specific moment of Saber's artistic journey. The cultural significance of slap-up label art lies in its accessibility and transience. These stickers can be produced en masse and placed in various locations, allowing for a wide distribution of the artist's work. However, their lifespan is unpredictable, as they can easily be removed or destroyed, mirroring the fleeting nature of fame and public attention in the digital age. Saber's use of the Priority Mail 228 label is a nod to a tradition in street art that values the repurposing of everyday items into something extraordinary. The label's transformation from a mundane postal accessory into a piece of art disrupts the ordinary and challenges the viewer to see the extraordinary in the everyday. This quality places slap-up label art firmly within the canon of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork, genres that continually redefine themselves through unconventional materials and methods. The Priority Mail 228 Slap-Up Label Sticker by Saber is more than just a piece of art; it is a statement, a piece of cultural fabric, and a reflection of the artist's presence in the urban landscape. As with much of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork, it encapsulates a moment in time, a burst of creative energy, and a dialogue with the public that is as vibrant and dynamic as the streets from which it was born.

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.
