    War By Numbers VSE- OG Colorway Variable Stencil Edition Acrylic Artwork on Hand Deckled Fine Art Paper by Street Artists Shepard Fairey x Ernesto Yerena Montejano x Hecho Con Ganas x Obey. 2022 War By Numbers VSE- OG Colorway 20x26.5 inches. Signed & Numbered Ultra Rare Edition of 14. Variable Stencil Edition (VSE) on Paper. Signed by Shepard Fairey, Hecho Con Ganas publishing chop in the lower-left corner. "Created during the Iraq war, but the quest for peace requires perpetual vigilance, and the current invasion of Ukraine is a reminder of the brutality of war. The “War By Numbers” image is a statement about not becoming desensitized by war to the extent that it becomes as banal as a paint-by-numbers image. The “Peace Elephant” is an appeal to our sense of Karma and harmony with the world around us." - Shepard Fairey A profound intersection of artistry and activism emerges in "War By Numbers VSE- OG Colorway," an emblematic piece presented by the collaborative brilliance of Shepard Fairey, Ernesto Yerena Montejano, Hecho Con Ganas, and Obey. Showcased on meticulously hand-deckled fine art paper, this 20x26.5 inch artwork not only exemplifies the prowess of its creators but also delves deeply into the social and political fabric of contemporary global scenarios. Dated 2022, this piece holds the distinction of being an ultra-rare Variable Stencil Edition (VSE) on paper, with only 14 such editions in existence, each one thoughtfully signed and numbered. Notably, the presence of the Hecho Con Ganas publishing chop in the lower-left corner augments its authenticity and intrinsic value. While the artwork itself is a marvel of color interplay and design, its underlying message is both timeless and urgent. Shepard Fairey's own words elucidate the motivation behind its creation, highlighting its inception during the Iraq war. Yet, its resonance extends beyond that particular conflict. The piece emerges as an enduring reminder of the costs of warfare, particularly with the poignant backdrop of the recent Ukraine invasion. Fairey astutely draws attention to the dangers of becoming inured to the horrors of conflict, suggesting that society must never allow war's devastation to become as commonplace and mundane as a paint-by-numbers image. This sentiment is further emphasized by the inclusion of the "Peace Elephant," symbolizing the universal aspiration for harmony and an appeal to humanity's collective conscience. In the vast realm of pop art, street art, and graffiti, "War By Numbers" stands as a testament to art's ability to transcend aesthetic appeal, challenging viewers to confront and engage with the world's most pressing issues.

  • The Day When Time Stood Still Archival Print by Jana Brike

    Jana Brike The Day When Time Stood Still Archival Print by Jana Brike

    The Day When Time Stood Still Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints on 290gsm Moab Rag Fine Art Paper by Jana Brike Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. "The painting title is a complete paradox, of course. It is connected to my perception of reality in meditative states. The actual theme is based both, on the girl-tribe relationship, and loosely on three graces story. It explores what is beauty to me. Beauty is a feeling. It is not to be merely pretty. It includes bravery, and wisdom, and strength, and imperfections that make one unique. Beauty is a feeling, and you need a feeling to perceive it. Beauty is a heart shining out, and you need your heart’s eye open to see it. This piece definitely was more ambitious than any of my previous work. More detailed. Also, before this one, I rarely if ever painted more than one figure. My characters were always lonely, trapped within their own self-sufficient universe. Starting from this one, relationships between the characters in my work have become more and more important for me." - Jana Brike

    Neo Raigō-zu 2023 Archival Print by Hikari Shimoda Limited Edition on 290gsm Moab Entrada Fine Art Paper Pop Graffiti Street Artist Modern Artwork. 2023 Signed & Numbered Print Limited Edition of 50 Size 20x24 Archival Pigment Fine Art Neo Raigō-zu 2023 Archival Print by Hikari Shimoda Hikari Shimoda's "Neo Raigō-zu 2023" offers a vibrant tapestry of colors and figures that resonate deeply with the themes prevalent in pop art, street art, and graffiti. This limited edition archival print, restricted to 50 signed and numbered pieces, showcases Shimoda's Lowbrow-Irasuto style, inspired by anime and manga, which she has honed since her career began after studying at Kyoto Saga University of Art. The 20x24 inch artwork, printed on premium Moab Entrada fine art paper, employs a striking pigment that captures the fantastical nature of Shimoda's subjects — celestial beings and magical children who explore the paradoxes of modern society and the quest for spiritual meaning. Her characters, often seen in heroic costumes or as magical Shojo girls, are not just whimsical; they embody a critique of contemporary issues and the ideological projections placed upon the younger generation. Shimoda's work, while enchanting, is a profound commentary on the state of the world, offering a unique blend of fantasy and reality that is characteristic of the most thought-provoking street pop art and graffiti artwork.

Child & Children
Within the colorful swaths and dynamic lines of street pop art and graffiti, the topic of children and childhood occupies a poignant space. It is a theme that captures both an innocent lens and a critical reflection of society, offering a dual narrative that is as compelling as it is complex. Artists across the globe turn to the imagery of youth to convey messages that transcend age, speaking to the inner child in all of us.

Children in Street Art: Symbols of Hope and Challenge

Graffiti and street pop art often utilize the image of a child to powerful effect. Whether through the hopeful gaze of a young face or the playful antics of children at street corners, these artworks speak to the potential and resilience of youth. They also cast a critical eye on the issues facing children today, from poverty and violence to the loss of innocence and the impact of technology on the next generation.

Pop Art's Young Protagonists: Nostalgia and Critique

Pop art has historically been imbued with nostalgia, and its depictions of children are no exception. From the whimsical portrayals by Keith Haring to the commercialized innocence in the work of Jeff Koons, children in pop art serve as a bridge between a yearned-for past and a commodified present. They are at once a celebration of youth and a critique of how society packages and sells childhood.

Graffiti Art's Social Commentary: Young Voices on Old Walls

The raw energy of graffiti art often carries the voices of the youth, quite literally, in communities where children take to the walls to express themselves. Here, the scribbles and sketches of the younger generation are not mere acts of vandalism but statements of presence and existence. These young voices on old walls remind us that today's children are the custodians of tomorrow, and what they say matters.

Conclusion: The Everlasting Impression of Youth in Urban Art

Children, as depicted in street pop art and graffiti artwork, are not just subjects; they are active narrators of the human experience. Their presence in urban art compels society to reflect on its values, dreams, and the legacy it leaves behind. The artworks that adorn city walls worldwide echoing the laughter, cries, and silence of the young, are powerful testaments to the enduring impact of childhood on culture and art. This introduction to a larger piece has set the stage for an in-depth examination of children as a subject within the urban artistic landscape. Continuing this narrative would involve delving deeper into specific artists and their works, the social implications of these creative choices, and how they shape the viewer's understanding of art and childhood.
