Solitary Child 1 Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints on 310gsm Fine Art Paper by Hikari Shimoda Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. "Solitary Child is a series of works, focused on my original theme of the inevitability of the Apocalypse. In this series, I am offering a new savior for humankind- she is a magical girl (Solitary Child #1) and a little boy hero (Solitary Child #3). In the world of my paintings, humanity has perished, as seen in the collage background, where there is an expressed chaos throughout. In these images, my saviors have come upon the dying human race. After the death of man, the world has found some relief from the turmoil that he has brought upon it. Meanwhile, mankind selfishly dreams of newfound happiness in his afterlife. In the mythology of my work, as humanity is destroyed, only one figure remains and that is the Messiah represented as a child. The magical girl was the first to be left alone after humanity was destroyed, left to deal with the despair and damage he left behind. Her eyes are shining and sparkling, but her stare is blank. In contrast, my hero’s eyes are closed ever so gently. To him, everything in the world is very chaotic and overwhelming. He feels all of its happiness, despair, hope, sadness, everything… in such a state, even the world’s savior must shut his eyes to it." - Hikari Shimoda

Black Chum is wondering what happened to the parties in 2020? The What Party Figure in Black emerges as a poignant symbol in the oeuvre of Kaws, the influential modern artist whose works have continuously blurred the boundaries between commercial and fine art. This limited edition vinyl art toy sculpture stands at 5.1x11.3x3.7 inches, a size that is intimate yet substantial, allowing it to make a statement in any collection. Released in 2020, a year marked globally by the COVID-19 pandemic, this collectible piece adds resonance as its title, "What Party," echoes the year's isolation and the sudden absence of communal gatherings and celebrations. Crafted in bright Black, the figure is instantly recognizable as a Kaws creation, with its characteristic crossed-out eyes and exaggerated hands, elements that have become synonymous with the artist’s unique visual language. The toy is not merely a playful item; it is a legitimate and impactful piece of art that comments on the human condition. Its vivid color can be interpreted as a beacon of hope or a siren call to attention, forcing viewers to ponder on the changes our society faced, especially during a time when the world came to an abrupt pause. Each sculpture comes brand new in its original box, indicating that it has never been displayed or handled. The printed foot of the figure ensures authenticity, an essential aspect for collectors and admirers of Kaws' work. While this piece was categorized as an open edition, its availability became scarce as the demand outpaced supply, and it swiftly transitioned out of print, turning it into a sought-after artifact. The What Party Figure stands not just as a testament to Kaws' enduring influence in the intersection of pop art, street art, and graffiti art but also as a cultural commentary encapsulated in vinyl. It captures the essence of a unique moment in history, symbolizing the collective yearning for connection in a time of global upheaval and the enduring power of art to reflect and resonate with the zeitgeist.

Celine Giclee Print by Bec Winnel Artwork Limited Edition Print on Fine Art Paper Graffiti Pop Street Artist. 2014 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 25 Artwork Size 12x13 Pale Woman with Flower in Her Hair. The Ethereal Beauty of Celine by Bec Winnel The giclee print titled "Celine" by the Australian artist Bec Winnel is a masterpiece that sits at the intersection of traditional portraiture and Street Pop Art, a limited edition offering that comprises only 25 signed and numbered pieces. This artwork, measuring 11.5x13 inches, captures the viewer's gaze with the delicate depiction of a pale woman adorned with a flower in her hair, a motif ripe with symbolism and quiet introspection. Bec Winnel's approach in "Celine" is one of intimate portraiture. The subject's pale visage and the soft pink tones of her hair offer a stark yet gentle contrast to the bold and often brash world of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork. The flower, a timeless symbol of nature's fleeting beauty, is rendered with such care that it seems to whisper stories of life's transient nature. The artwork, though rooted in the techniques of fine art, communicates the essence of street art through its emotional impact and accessibility. The use of giclee printing ensures that each nuance of Winnel's delicate pencil and pastel work is captured with precision, allowing the fine gradations of color and detail to shine through. This form of high-quality reproduction democratizes art, aligning with the Street Pop Art ethos of making art available to a wider audience beyond the confines of galleries and exclusive collections. Bec Winnel and the Contemporary Art Scene Bec Winnel, while perhaps not as widely recognized as some street artists, has earned a respected place within the contemporary art scene for her distinct blend of realism and fantasy. Her work often features women in moments of deep contemplation, surrounded by elements of the natural world that serve to underline their connection to the environment and to the cycles of life and death. This connection resonates with the thematic preoccupations of Street Pop Art, where the dialogue between the urban landscape and nature is frequently explored. "Celine" represents a poetic pause in the hustle of the street art world, inviting viewers to reflect on the softer side of humanity. The limited edition nature of the print adds a layer of exclusivity, yet Winnel's artistry bridges the gap between the elite art world and the democratic nature of street art. By creating a fine art paper version of her work, she extends an invitation to a broader audience to engage with her art in their own spaces. The allure of "Celine" lies in its ability to evoke a sense of ethereal beauty and vulnerability, characteristics that are often overshadowed in the bustling, dynamic spaces where Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork typically reside. The print holds a mirror to the quieter, more reflective aspects of human experience, much like a mural tucked away in a quiet corner of a busy city street might do. The enduring impact of "Celine" is its subtle challenge to the viewer: to slow down, to appreciate the beauty in stillness, and to consider the depth of the human experience. Winnel's choice to portray a woman in a moment of vulnerability is a powerful statement within the broader context of Street Pop Art, often dominated by louder, more aggressive themes. As "Celine" finds its home with collectors and art enthusiasts, it continues to weave its narrative, one that is as relevant today as it was in 2014. It stands as a testament to the possibilities of cross-pollination between the worlds of fine art and street art, a testament to the power of beauty and vulnerability in an often harsh and unforgiving world. Through her art, Bec Winnel contributes to the evolving story of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork, ensuring that the narrative remains as diverse and multifaceted as the human experience itself.

Love Catcher Pink Silkscreen Print by Mr Brainwash- Thierry Guetta Hand-Pulled 6-Color on Hand Deckled Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. 2023 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 75 Artwork Size 22x22 Silkscreen Print by Mr Brainwash- Thierry Guetta Mr. Brainwash, whose real name is Thierry Guetta, is a French-born, Los Angeles-based street artist and filmmaker. He was born on November 11, 1966, in Garges-lès-Gonesse, France. Mr. Brainwash came to prominence through the 2010 Oscar-nominated documentary "Exit Through the Gift Shop", which was directed by the renowned British street artist Banksy. Initially, Guetta began as a videographer who was interested in street art and decided to document the phenomenon. This endeavor led him to meet and film numerous street artists, including Shepard Fairey and Banksy. However, in a surprising twist, Banksy turned the camera on Guetta, encouraging him to become an artist himself. The result was Mr. Brainwash, a pop artist known for his large-scale productions and eclectic style, drawing heavily from pop culture references and the work of other street artists. His work often blends elements of pop art with the raw, edgy aesthetics of street art. Since his emergence, Mr. Brainwash has held numerous exhibitions and his work has gained significant attention in the art world, both for its bold, distinctive style and for the controversy surrounding his sudden rise to fame. He is known for his energetic and often humorous installations, sculptures, and stenciled artworks. Despite criticism from some quarters who view his work as derivative, Mr. Brainwash has continued to maintain a successful career in the contemporary art scene. Mother's Day is a celebration that honors mothers and motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society. It is celebrated on various days in many parts of the world, most commonly in the months of March or May. The modern American holiday of Mother's Day was first celebrated in 1908, when Anna Jarvis held a memorial for her mother at St Andrew's Methodist Church in Grafton, West Virginia. Anna Jarvis's mother, Ann Jarvis, had been a peace activist who cared for wounded soldiers on both sides of the American Civil War, and created Mother's Day Work Clubs to address public health issues. Anna Jarvis wanted to honor her mother by continuing the work she started and to set aside a day to honor all mothers because she believed that they were "the person who has done more for you than anyone in the world". In 1914, Woodrow Wilson signed a proclamation designating Mother's Day, held on the second Sunday in May, as a national holiday to honor mothers. Since then, Mother's Day has become a day that children celebrate their mothers with cards, gifts, and activities. The holiday has been adopted by other countries and it's celebrated in different ways worldwide. For example, in the United Kingdom, it is traditionally known as Mothering Sunday and it's celebrated on the fourth Sunday of Lent. In Mexico, it's always celebrated on May 10th, regardless of the day of the week. It's important to note that Mother's Day can bring different feelings for different people. While it's a joyous occasion for many, it can be a difficult day for those who have lost their mothers or who have strained relationships with them. It's also a day to honor and remember mothers who have passed away.

Nobody Loves You Vinyl Art Toy by Joan Cornellà Limited Edition Collectible Sculpture Figure Fine Artwork by Graffiti Pop Street Artist. 2024 Limited Edition Artwork Size 3x8.3 New In Box Printed Foot Vinyl Fine Art Toy Figure Sculpture. Girl in Pink Dress with Birthday Holiday Cake Reading: Nobody Loves You. Joan Cornellà's Provocative Vision: The "Nobody Loves You" Vinyl Art Toy Joan Cornellà, a Barcelona-based artist known for his unsettling yet humorous illustrations, has ventured into the three-dimensional realm with his "Nobody Loves You" vinyl art toy. This limited edition sculpture captures the essence of Cornellà's signature style, which often juxtaposes brightly colored, cheerful aesthetics with dark, satirical themes. The "Nobody Loves You" vinyl toy, a figure of a girl in a pink dress holding a birthday cake with the words "Nobody Loves You" inscribed on it, is a classic example of Cornellà's approach to art that blends pop sensibilities with street art's raw commentary. Dissecting the Layers of Satire in Cornellà's Work This particular piece by Joan Cornellà is steeped in irony. The surface-level cheeriness of a birthday celebration is undercut by the bleak message on the cake, a stark reminder of the loneliness and isolation that can accompany personal milestones. The girl's wide-eyed, seemingly oblivious smile contrasts sharply with the message, creating a dissonance that is both humorous and disturbing. This tension is a hallmark of Cornellà's work and reflects his ability to use the format of street pop art to explore complex emotional and societal themes. The collectible nature of the piece, with its limited run, stamped authenticity, and certificate of authenticity, also adds a layer of commentary on the commodification of art and emotions. Cornellà's Influence on Street Pop Art and Collectible Culture Joan Cornellà has become an influential figure in the intersection of street pop art, graffiti artwork, and the burgeoning culture of art toys. His vinyl figures, which often sell out quickly due to their limited edition status, are prized not just for their aesthetic and collectible value but also for their incisive social commentary. The "Nobody Loves You" toy is a fine example of how Cornellà's work has transcended traditional canvas and paper, taking on new life in the world of three-dimensional art. These figures serve not only as home or office decor but also as conversation pieces that challenge viewers to confront uncomfortable truths about human nature and social dynamics. Joan Cornellà's work, especially pieces like the "Nobody Loves You" vinyl art toy, continues to push the boundaries of pop art and street art. They challenge viewers to question their perceptions of normalcy and happiness in contemporary society. As collectibles, these toys represent a unique fusion of fine art and street culture, a testament to the versatility and enduring relevance of Cornellà's artistic vision.
