    Dxtr Zodiac Silkscreen Print by Dxtr

    Zodiac Limited Edition 6-Color Hand-Pulled Silkscreen Print on 140lbs French Paper by Dxtr Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. "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

    Shark Toof Sharktoof Cigarette Pack Art Toy Object by Shark Toof

    Sharktoof Cigarette Pack Limited Resin Sculpture Artwork by graffiti street artist modern pop artist Sharktoof. 2016 Limited Edition of 100 Fine Art Toy Object Artwork Size 10.75x13.5. Sharktoof Cigarette Pack Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Sharktoof is a prominent figure in the contemporary urban art scene, known for his iconic shark imagery, which has become a staple in the lexicon of street and pop art. This piece, the "Sharktoof- Cigarette Pack Pink Limited Resin Sculpture," is a testament to his distinctive style, combining graffiti, street art, and modern pop sensibilities. The "Sharktoof- Cigarette Pack Pink Limited Resin Sculpture" is a powerful expression of street pop art and graffiti artwork. Created in 2016, this limited edition piece stands out for its striking visual appeal and commentary on consumerism and the concept of guilty pleasures. With only 100 pieces made, this delicate art toy became a sought-after collectible among art enthusiasts and collectors. Each four-sided sculpture measures 13.5" x 10.75" x 5.5" and is presented in a gift box with a die-cut foam form that securely cradles the artwork. The dimensions of the sculpture itself, at 10.75x13.5 inches, provide a substantial canvas for Sharktoof's artistry. Hand-painted with attention to detail, both sculptures are different. The unique gradients and the artist's logo on each piece ensure that every collector gets a one-of-a-kind work of art. The Symbolism of the Cigarette Pack The sculpture takes the shape of an opened cigarette pack, a universally recognized image loaded with cultural significance. The cigarette as an object represents many ideas, including controversy, rebellion, big business, and a form of rugged toughness. Through this artwork, Sharktoof aims to provoke public discourse on guilty pleasures—those we indulge in despite societal pressures to feel shame for them. Sharktoof's reflections on the subject matter are embedded within the sculpture. His approach to the silhouette of the cigarette pack is intended to be graphic and unmistakable, a visual cue that triggers a deeper reflection on personal indulgences and the associated societal implications. A Reflection on Guilty Pleasures In his own words, Sharktoof has expressed a fascination with the idea of guilty pleasures and the shame often linked to them. The sculpture serves as a visual challenge, prompting viewers to confront their vices and the emotions they elicit. It's a bold statement on how such pleasures are perceived and the inner conflict they can create. The stark contrast of the pink against the dark background of the sculpture is more than just an aesthetic choice; it represents the juxtaposition between pleasure and guilt, the vibrant and the forbidden. The shark imagery within the pack adds another layer of meaning, as sharks are often associated with danger and fear, much like the risks associated with the very act of smoking. Sharktoof's Legacy in Modern Pop Art Sharktoof's work has always pushed the boundaries of street pop art and graffiti artwork. His bold lines, vivid colors, and incorporation of emblematic symbols speak to a generation that is deeply attuned to the visual language of pop culture and social commentary. The "Sharktoof- Cigarette Pack Pink Limited Resin Sculpture" is a manifestation of this ethos, blending art with a message and packaging it in a form that is both familiar and thought-provoking. As a piece of art, it stands as a marker of its time, encapsulating the ethos of street art's ability to comment on and reflect societal norms and deviations. Collectors and admirers of Sharktoof's work are not just acquiring a piece of art; they are embracing a piece of cultural dialogue that challenges perceptions and invites introspection. The "Sharktoof- Cigarette Pack Pink Limited Resin Sculpture" is more than an object of visual appeal. It is a conversation starter, a statement piece, and a reflection of the artist's deeper narrative on societal behaviors and personal choices. Through this work, Sharktoof has cemented his place in the contemporary art world as an artist who dares to address the uncomfortable, controversial, and often unspoken, making his mark with each brush stroke and idea he sculpts into reality.

Two Girls And Three Tigers illuminates the contemplation of nature, culture, predator vs. prey, and recent travels to Thailand and the middle east.The idea is a culmination of seduction, animal spirit, philosophy of culture and its roll in the idea of predator vs. prey. 1 square inch could take 1 - 5 days depending on how it's working with the painting as a whole. My process can be masochistic. It's a chess match. My roots as an illustrator is that everything is planned out. I'm going against the grain in more of a fine art direction by allowing the painting to guide me, to ask me questions. There are very small to very large details to this piece from color, to shape, and form. These details were in large part not preplanned and a manifestation of content. " - Shark Toof

It took some isolation to really stand behind my own beliefs without becoming a political artist. Thinking of iconographic shapes, I thought the cigarette pack is an easily identifiable shape which lead me to the idea of "Guilty Pleasures" and the Shark Toof Cigarette Pack. Although, I am not a smoker myself, I support every individual to indulge in whatever pleasures them as long as others aren't effected." - Shark Toof

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.
