He was named after the 16th-century painter Raphael and is usually depicted as being aggressive, sullen, maddened, and rebellious. Not only did I relate to his character, as a teen with angst, but Raphael is a perfect parallel to my sharks." - Shark Toof

  • Ceci N'est Pas Une Spongebob PP Archival Print by Shark Toof

    Shark Toof Ceci N'est Pas Une Spongebob PP Archival Print by Shark Toof

    Ceci N'est Pas Une Spongebob PP Archival Print by Shark Toof Limited Edition Print on 310gsm Museum Fine Art Paper Pop Artist Modern Artwork. PP Printers Proof 2019 Signed & Marked PP Limited Edition Artwork Size 24x18 Archival Pigment Fine Art. "Ceci N'est Pas Une Spongebob, This Is Not A Spongebob" Decoding "Ceci N'est Pas Une SpongeBob" by Shark Toof "Ceci N'est Pas Une SpongeBob" is a provocative piece by the renowned street pop artist Shark Toof, challenging the boundaries of pop culture iconography within the context of modern street art. The artwork is a Printer's Proof (PP) archival print from 2019, meticulously signed and marked by the artist, denoting its status as a rare collector's item. Printed on 310gsm Museum Fine Art Paper, this piece exemplifies the high-quality medium Shark Toof employs to ensure durability and depth of color, crucial for the archival pigment fine art that this work represents. A Fusion of Street Art and Pop Culture This piece is a testament to the collision of street pop art and graffiti artwork with mainstream pop culture symbols. Shark Toof takes the universally recognized figure of SpongeBob SquarePants and distorts it, presenting an image that both acknowledges and subverts the original character. The title itself, a nod to René Magritte's "The Treachery of Images," prompts viewers to question the nature of representation and reality in art. Shark Toof's work suggests that the image of SpongeBob we see is not the character itself but a representation skewed by the artist's perspective and the cultural context in which it is viewed. Shark Toof's Artistic Commentary In "Ceci N'est Pas Une SpongeBob," Shark Toof is not simply replicating a beloved character; he is initiating a dialogue about the saturation of media icons in society and the consumption of these images. The distortion and decomposition of SpongeBob's features invite the audience to reflect on how mass media shapes and sometimes distorts our perceptions. This work captures the spirit of street pop art by using graffiti artwork's spontaneous and rebellious essence to comment on and criticize phenomena. The layered textures and vibrant colors reveal the complex relationship between commercial imagery and artistic expression. The art piece explores the tension between street art's ephemeral nature and fine art prints' enduring quality. Shark Toof bridges two seemingly disparate worlds by choosing SpongeBob, an icon from an animated children's show, and placing it in the sophisticated realm of limited edition prints. This juxtaposition challenges the viewer's understanding of what constitutes 'legitimate' art, questioning the hierarchies within the art world. Through "Ceci N'est Pas Une SpongeBob," Shark Toof contributes to the discourse on the value and significance of street pop art and graffiti artwork in contemporary culture. By recontextualizing a figure from the lexicon of popular media, he endows it with new meaning and elevates it within the art canon. This artwork is a visual spectacle with an intellectual engagement, prompting conversations about the nature of art, media's influence, and street art's power to transform and transcend ordinary objects and characters into extraordinary pieces of cultural commentary.

"I did this one just for the fun of it when I had some spare time between projects and always wanted to do a screen print out of it. So when 1xRUN contacted me for another release this was the perfect opportunity to get this one printed finally.I'm a big fan of symbolism as you guys know from our last print. I'm always interested in symbols and the meanings behind it. Every element makes sense and is incorporated for a reason in this artwork. I think it is necessary for my work that all the elements represent something, are meaningful and make sense somehow. I enjoy cryptic, mystic and meaningful icons and elements, so this is why I wanted to create my own Zodiac at some point. " - Dxtr

  • Cacophony Laser Cut Acrylic Archival Print by Eddie Colla

    Eddie Colla Cacophony Laser Cut Acrylic Archival Print by Eddie Colla

    Cacophony Hand-Painted Multiple Archival Pigment Print on 3 Tiers of Laser-Cut Acrylic Panel ready to hang by Eddie Colla Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2020 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 25 Laser Cut Acrylic Artwork Size 18x18 "The Goldfish Girl was created almost a decade ago. I often revisit it, and she has been the longest continuing character I've created. I often write backstories for these characters to help me create the pieces, but they are generally never shared with the viewer. The Goldfish Girl was born in mainland China and raised mostly by a single father. Her mother passed away when she was 18 months old from cancer. She was often very ill as a child and was eventually diagnosed with a compromised immune system disorder, although a precise diagnosis was never given. This is the reason for always wearing the mask and gloves. Her father bred Goldfish for a living and taught her that trade as a kid. They worked side by side and rarely had visitors because of her condition. Often being extremely ill and also losing her mother made her childhood difficult. As most children do, she tried to find a reason for her misfortune, a reason for why all this had happened to her and her father. Eventually, she believed that her illness and her mother's cancer were punishment by nature. A curse for toying with nature by breeding goldfish. Eventually, her father passed away as well. Needing to make a living and also to taunt fate she illegally immigrated to Hong Kong. There is a famous goldfish market in Mong Kok on Tung Choi street, but it's commonly called goldfish street. With a compromised immune system the most dangerous thing to her was other people. As a challenge to fate, she moved to one of the most densely populated cities in the world. She got a stall on Tung Choi Street. This is her challenge, to taunt fate and win, becoming the master of her own fate. These images are vignettes of her life in Hong Kong. I've never given the character a name. Sometimes she is pictured with a boombox because music becomes a central companion to her mostly solitary life. In the piece Cacophony I wanted her to literally be surrounded by the city. In some way, I think I tried to create a character that embodied a lot of traits I aspire to. To remind me.” - Eddie Colla

Fish Graffiti Street Pop Art

Symbolic Representations of Fish in Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork

In the diverse and vivid world of street pop art and graffiti artwork, the fish has emerged as a significant symbol loaded with cultural, environmental, and spiritual meanings. As artists take to the streets to express their views, advocate for change, and leave their creative marks, the image of the fish repeatedly surfaces, swimming through the currents of public consciousness. This aquatic creature, rendered in many styles and contexts, has evolved from a simple naturalistic motif to a complex emblem used to navigate and comment on various contemporary issues. Fish can be a fascinating subject for graffiti street art due to their unique and vibrant appearance. They can be depicted in multiple styles and colors, from realistic and detailed to abstract and stylized. Fish can also symbolize different things in different cultures and contexts. In some cultures, fish represent good luck, prosperity, and abundance. In others, they are associated with wisdom and knowledge or are seen as symbols of resistance and resilience. Moreover, fish are an essential part of the natural world and can be used to raise awareness about environmental issues such as overfishing, pollution, and habitat destruction. Graffiti artists can use their skills to create powerful and thought-provoking murals that raise awareness and inspire action to protect our oceans and the creatures that inhabit them. Fish can be a compelling subject for graffiti street art, both as a visual element and a symbol of cultural and environmental significance. In many cultures, fish are emblems of abundance, prosperity, and the subconscious. Their depictions in street pop art and graffiti artwork often reflect these themes but are reinterpreted through the lens of modern concerns. Artists employ tArtists employ the fish motif matters, illustrating the beauty of marine life while drawing attention to the threats aquatic ecosystems face. Urban murals of fish, sometimes hyper-realistic or whimsically abstract, become rallying points for community engagement and environmental activism.

Fish as Metaphors in Urban Artistic Expression

Artists in urban environments have adopted the fish as a metaphor for freedom and fluidity, contrasting the often rigid confines of city life. In street pop art, fish can be depicted as breaking free from water, defying gravity, and swimming through the air, challenging viewers to question their environments' boundaries and consider the nature of freedom. Graffiti artists use the fluid form of the fish to inject a sense of motion and life into static urban landscapes, crafting a visual stream that guides the eye and invigorates public spaces. Furthermore, fish in street art can represent the concept of transformation and adaptability. Just as fish evolve to survive in diverse aquatic habitats, street art evolves to reflect the changing urban canvas. The adaptability of fish is paralleled in the flexibility of street and pop art to adapt to different surfaces and contexts, from sprawling murals to compact stencil work. How these artists capture the shimmering scales, undulating fins, and darting movement of fish testifies to their ability to convey dynamism within the still image, a core element of graffiti art's appeal. Fish imagery in street pop and graffiti artwork is a versatile conduit for artistic expression and social commentary. Artists can explore and critique aspects of society, nature, and human consciousness by depicting fish, contributing to the lively discourse central to the urban art scene. As long as there are walls to paint and stories to tell, fish will likely continue to appear in street art and graffiti, evolving in meaning as the tides of society shift and change.
