  • Fish Original Graphite Pencil Drawing by Naoto Hattori

    Naoto Hattori Fish Original Graphite Pencil Drawing by Naoto Hattori

    Fish Original Hand Drawn Art Drawing on Framed Hand Deckled Aged Art Paper by Surreal Artist Naoto Hattori. 2012 Signed Original One-of-a-Kind Pencil/Graphite Drawing Framed Artwork Frame Size 8.5x8.5 Image Size 3x5 Custom Framed & Matted By Artist, Slight Scuffing To Frame Consistent to Age. The Artistic Journey of Naoto Hattori's Fish Original Drawing Naoto Hattori's unique contribution to the art world often finds a comfortable residence at the intersection of surrealism and street art. The 'Fish Original' hand-drawn art piece on framed hand-deckled aged art paper is a distinct representation of this artistic blend. Crafted in 2012, this original pencil/graphite drawing is a testament to Hattori's intricate style and ability to create depth and narrative within the confines of minimalist subject matter. The artwork, housed within a custom 8.5x8.5 inch frame, showcases an image size of 3x5 inches, offering a glimpse into the artist's surreal perspective through the lens of street pop art and graffiti artwork. This singular piece by Hattori is a signed, original, one-of-a-kind drawing showcasing monochromatic art's subtle yet powerful impact. The decision to create this work on hand-deckled aged art paper indicates Hattori's reverence for the textural qualities that the paper brings to the artwork. The deckled edges add an element of antiquity and an organic feel to the piece, enhancing the visual experience and complementing the simplicity of the subject—a single fish. The drawing, while straightforward in its representation, is imbued with a sense of motion and life, capturing the subject's essence with a delicate realism often associated with Hattori's work. Exploring the Nuances of Hattori's Surrealism in a Street Art Context The 'Fish Original' piece by Naoto Hattori is a subtle nod to the fluidity of street pop art and the evocative nature of graffiti artwork. While Hattori's work is primarily rooted in surrealism, the influences of street art are evident in the way he approaches his subjects. This drawing has a certain rawness and directness, qualities frequently celebrated in street art. The pencil work is precise, yet there is an undercurrent of freedom and spontaneity that aligns with the spirit of graffiti art. Custom framed and matted by the artist, the 'Fish Original' drawing reflects Hattori's hands-on approach to his art from inception to presentation. The slight scuffing on the frame, consistent with its age, adds character to the piece, suggesting a history beyond its visual content. This kind of patina often draws admirers of street art to such pieces, as it provides a rich and personal narrative. The scuffs are not flaws but marks of a journey, much like the weathered walls that serve as canvases in street art.  Street Pop Art, Graffiti Artwork, and the Intimacy of Small-Scale Works The world of street pop art and graffiti artwork is known for its boldness and large-scale visibility. However, pieces like Hattori's 'Fish Original' challenge this convention by bringing the intimacy of small-scale artwork into focus. Through this drawing, Hattori communicates that the essence of street pop art is not confined to size but is found in the authenticity and expressive power of the piece. Hattori's choice of framing and matting further personalizes the artwork, making it a complete piece that offers a narrative, much like street art, which often tells stories in the public domain. The 'Fish Original' by Naoto Hattori bridges the often disparate worlds of fine art and street art, marrying the intricacy of pencil drawing with the accessible, emotive drawing of street pop art. It exemplifies how art can transcend boundaries and speak to a diverse audience. This drawing, with its meticulous craftsmanship and the textured backdrop of aged paper, is a cherished piece in contemporary art, offering a moment of contemplation and connection in the bustling dialogue of street pop art and graffiti artwork. It stands as a beacon of the potential that lies in the fusion of different artistic disciplines, as seen through the visionary eyes of Naoto Hattori.

    Sashimi of Death Blotter Paper Archival Print by Skel Limited Edition Fine Art Archival Pigment Print Art on Perforated Blotter Paper. 2023 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 40 Archival Pigment Print on Perforated Blotter Paper Size: 7.5 x 7.5 Inches Release: April 19, 2023 Fugu Fish Meme Tarot Card Limited blotter editions are hand-perforated by Zane Kesey. Blotter paper artwork prints are a unique form of art that involves transferring ink onto specially treated blotter paper. The resulting prints are often abstract and colorful, and can be used for a variety of decorative and artistic purposes. To create a blotter paper artwork print, the artist first prepares the blotter paper by treating it with chemicals that will enhance its absorbency and ability to hold ink or dye. Then, ink or dye is applied to the paper using various techniques, such as dripping, pouring, or spraying. The paper is left to dry, and the resulting print is then carefully removed from the blotter paper. Archival printing techniques are used to produce high-quality prints of the original artwork. This involves using high-quality inks and paper that are designed to last for a long time without fading or deteriorating. Archival prints are also resistant to moisture and sunlight, which helps to preserve the artwork for years to come. Blotter paper artwork prints can be a great addition to any home or office decor, and they are often used as a unique form of wall art. They are also popular among collectors and art enthusiasts, as each print is one-of-a-kind and can never be replicated exactly.

  • 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.
