    Denial- Daniel Bombardier What Drones? HPM Spray Paint Wood Stencil by Denial- Daniel Bombardier

    What Drones? Limited Edition Hand-Embellished Spray Paint, Acrylic, Stencil, Mixed Media On Cradled Wood Panel by Denial Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2015 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of HPM Stencil 5 Artwork Size 48x30 Canadian artist Denial and Australian-born Ben Frost have joined forces in a bold exhibition of new work that explores the boundaries of appropriation, in confronting re-imaginings of our current dystopian society. Self-­confessed ‘visual thieves’, both artists have had a long history of stealing and subverting the cultural icons that the advertising and consumerist world has thrust upon us, to create new and pertinent interpretations that are as confronting as they are humorous. Denial and Frost formed an instant friendship since their meeting in Canada in 2011 and have been creating engaging street and gallery work ever since. "Company of Thieves" sees their collaboration push further, with large and small-scale works that reference Pop Art, Graffiti, and the corporate world they rebel against. Denial’s art is strongly political and social since the artist takes specific positions against issues, such as capitalism, consumer culture, and advertisements. More importantly, the artist is aware of his choices and motivations: “I like to think of myself as activist pop art. How I relate with cartoons and graphics is a lot easier than I do with photo-realistic stuff" Another aspect of Denial's work is humor. His work is satirical, which, by definition, means that it uses humor as a confronting mechanism.

    Ron English Uncle Scam Ad Flag Giclee Print by Ron English

    Flush Giclee Print by Ron English Artwork Limited Edition Print on Fine Art Paper Graffiti Pop Street Artist. 2022 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 30 Artwork Size 37x25 Uncle Scam Ad Flag Giclee Print is a work of art by Ron English, a contemporary American artist known for his thought-provoking, often satirical and subversive street art, paintings, and sculptures. English is famous for creating art that highlights the absurdity of modern society, often blending elements of pop culture, advertising, and politics. In this particular piece, the artist critiques consumerism and the advertising industry by combining elements of the American flag with a caricature of Uncle Sam, who is transformed into "Uncle Scam." The term "Uncle Scam" refers to the idea that the advertising industry often manipulates consumers and promotes excessive materialism, which can be detrimental to society as a whole. A giclee print is a high-quality digital printing method that is capable of producing vivid and detailed reproductions of artwork. This process uses specialized inkjet printers and archival-quality inks, which are applied to various substrates, such as canvas or fine art paper, to create a long-lasting and visually appealing print. The result is a reproduction that retains the original artwork's colors and details, making it a popular choice for artists and collectors alike.

No matter its controversial history, graffiti is less and less viewed as a form of vandalism.

The days when our leaders looked out for the people's interests have become a thing of the past—replaced by the strong man who squashes the voices of dissent to set things straight. Money elects leaders; in return, they owe a debt to the people that put them in Power—enacting our new public policy of greed and gangster capitalism. We slowly accept corruption, Law slowly fades away, and people begin to feel like democracy and a fair and equitable society were always just an illusion, a dream from the past that never really even existed." -Cleon Peterson

Flag Graffiti Street Art

Flags Woven into the Fabric of Street Art

Flags, emblems of identity, and unity wave above government buildings and in front yards and paint a rich narrative across the walls and alleys of urban landscapes. In street pop art and graffiti artwork, flags serve a dual purpose: they are both subject and symbol, conveying messages ranging from political protest to cultural pride. As artists take to the streets, these national icons are reimagined, repurposed, and recontextualized, creating a dialogue between the individual, the community, and the nation.

Symbolism and Commentary in Urban Flag Art

The flag, in the realm of street art, is laden with symbolism. It can represent allegiance and heritage or be a canvas for commentary on national issues. Street artists often use flags to express their views on immigration, war, and national identity. The stars and stripes of the American flag, for example, have been reinterpreted countless times, from the classic pop art renditions of Jasper Johns to the graffiti-laden adaptations that speak to America's ongoing cultural and political challenges. These artistic interpretations go beyond mere representations; they invite onlookers to contemplate their relationship with national symbols and the ideas they stand for. In cities across the globe, flags are depicted not just in their traditional forms. Still, they are often dissected, merged with other images, or reimagined to create powerful messages about the nation's state.

The Global Language of Flags in Street Pop Art

In the universal language of street pop art, flags are not confined by borders. They become part of a global conversation, transcending their geographical origins. Artists from different countries might incorporate elements of each other's flags, visually representing solidarity and shared human experience. In this way, flags can symbolize a unifying bond between disparate cultures, a visual handshake across the seas. Moreover, flag imagery in street art often speaks to the diasporic experiences of individuals and communities. For instance, a mural featuring the Mexican flag in the heart of Los Angeles tells a story of migration, heritage, and the complex web of identity that Mexican-American residents navigate. Using flags, street artists articulate stories of belonging and displacement, crafting new narratives reflecting life's nuanced realities in a globalized world. The depiction of flags in street pop art and graffiti provides a textured landscape where national symbols become a medium for personal and collective expression. Through the transformative power of art, flags are elevated from statehood emblems to potent public discourse icons, offering insights into the dynamics of patriotism, identity, and community. Whether painted with reverence or critique, flags in urban artistry continue to flutter in the winds of change, signaling the evolving sentiments of the people beneath them.
