  • Homer Original Pasca Ink Watercolor Painting by Jon Burgerman

    Jon Burgerman Homer Original Pasca Ink Watercolor Painting by Jon Burgerman

    Homer Original Painting Pasca and Ink on Watercolor Paper by Artist Jon Burgerman Modern Pop Art. 2014 Signed Original One of a Kind Watercolor Painting Size 22.5x29.5 "Jon Burgerman makes vibrant, neo-primitive scrawls of shapes and color. He's pushed his monster-like characters into compositions where cartoon-like forms are crammed on top of each until they create a screaming mass of energy. Intensely prolific, he has pushed the character obsession of the late 90s into a far more interesting and strong direction. Think Walt Disney at an Incan monument on mescaline." - Francesca Gavin, Visual Arts Editor Dazed & Confused and author of Street Renegades and 100 New Artists published by Laurence King.

"The 'Cut The Record' series was made solely for this release and was part of my most recent exhibition Remix. This was a very personal series for me, as I selected 10 of my favorite musicians to portray and Remix. All of the 10 musicians I selected to make for this series are personal favorites of mine. Music I actually listen to on a day-to-day basis. For my exhibition, I kinda tweaked the meaning of Remix to fit the swapping and sampling of different, but similar pieces of woodcuts I had made on the pieces. With the 10 musicians, I selected for the 'Cut The Record' series each has either had their music remixed and or remixed music themselves. Since Illmatic Album in 1994, I don’t think a week has gone by since I’ve listened to that album. One of my favorite albums." - Above

  • Mme Roland in the Prison of Pelage Original Painting by Adam Caldwell

    Adam Caldwell Mme Roland in the Prison of Pelage Original Painting by Adam Caldwell

    Mme Roland in the Prison of Pelage Original One of a Kind Mixed Media & Oil Painting Artwork on Canvas by Modern Pop Dystopian Artist Adam Caldwell. 2022 Signed 11x14 Oil Mixed Media on Canvas Original Painting Ready to Hang Artwork. Adam Caldwell's "Mme Roland in the Prison of Pelage": A Fusion of Historical Narratives and Contemporary Art Adam Caldwell's original painting, "Mme Roland in the Prison of Pelage," is a poignant representation of his unique ability to intertwine historical narratives with the contemporary visual language of pop dystopian art. This 2022 signed Artwork, an 11x14 oil and mixed media on canvas, exemplifies Caldwell's profound engagement with the past and present, creating a visually striking and emotionally resonant dialogue. His approach to pop, street, and graffiti art transcends conventional boundaries, allowing for a multi-layered exploration of theme and form. The Artwork, ready to hang, presents a haunting image of Mme Roland, a figure from the French Revolution, enveloped in what appears to be a shroud, her gaze obscured yet evocative. Caldwell's use of mixed media enhances the textural depth of the piece, inviting viewers to ponder the interplay between the tangible brushstrokes on canvas and the historical weight of the subject matter. The fragmented and abstracted elements surrounding the central figure reflect the chaos and turmoil of Mme Roland's time. Yet, they resonate with the complexities of the modern era, suggesting parallels between the two. In Caldwell's work, the canvas becomes a site where the lines between street pop art and traditional oil painting blur, creating a space where the echoes of history meet the aesthetics of modern-day graffiti and pop art. The layering of media and imagery in "Mme Roland in the Prison of Pelage" is characteristic of Caldwell's style, which often features a juxtaposition of classical and contemporary elements, hinting at the cyclical nature of societal struggles and the perennial quest for justice and freedom. The painting stands as a testament to the enduring relevance of historical figures and events in the discourse of modern art, particularly within the realms of pop and street art, which have traditionally served as platforms for social commentary and critique. Caldwell's work invites reflection on the lessons of history, the enduring spirit of revolutionary figures, and the role of art as a medium for examining and understanding the human condition. In essence, Adam Caldwell's "Mme Roland in the Prison of Pelage" is more than just a painting; it is a narrative captured in oil and mixed media, a statement on the continuum of history, and a reflection of the power of art to encapsulate both the specific and the universal. Through works like this, Caldwell continues to push the boundaries of what pop art can convey, bridging the gap between the past and the present, the historical and the contemporary, the classical and the street.

France's Flourish: A Canvas of Street Pop Art and Graffiti

France, with its deep-rooted artistic heritage, presents a fascinating tapestry of street pop art and graffiti, merging the country's historical penchant for aesthetic expression with contemporary urban culture. French streets, particularly in Paris, Lyon, and Marseille, have become synonymous with an ever-evolving art scene that pushes the boundaries of public space as a platform for creative expression.

Foundations of French Street Art

The foundations of French street art are steeped in the country's revolutionary spirit, a characteristic that continues to inform the themes and techniques employed by today's artists. The rich artistic traditions of France serve as both a canvas and a catalyst for modern expressions, leading to a unique blend of the old and the new. In France, street art and graffiti have moved from being viewed solely as vandalism to recognized artistry, thanks partly to the country's embrace of its artists and their contributions to cultural vibrancy.

Signature Styles and French Urban Aesthetics

French street pop art and graffiti are characterized by their signature styles, which often pay homage to the country's art history while simultaneously reflecting modern themes and issues. From Blek le Rat's pioneering stencils to Invader's pixelated mosaics, French street art is marked by a diversity of approaches that encompasses everything from classical beauty to avant-garde abstraction. These artists have not only adorned walls but have also engaged with the fabric of French society, using their art to provoke, question, and celebrate.

Cultural Significance and Impact

The cultural significance and impact of French street pop art and graffiti cannot be overstated. The artworks serve as public forums for dialogue, reflecting the country's socio-political climate and the global issues affecting contemporary society. Artists like JR have transformed public spaces into open-air galleries that challenge perceptions and encourage international discourse. In contrast, others like Zevs deliver sharp critiques of consumerism and commercialism through their works.

Street Art Festivals and Institutional Recognition

France's institutional recognition of street art is evident through festivals and exhibitions celebrating and promoting urban art forms. Events like Le Mur in Paris, which provides a public space for artists to create life, have played a crucial role in integrating street pop art and graffiti into the mainstream cultural landscape. These platforms not only showcase the talent and diversity of French artists but also foster a deeper appreciation for the art form among the public.

Prospects for French Street Art

The prospects for French street art are expansive, with cities increasingly acknowledging the value of these art forms in animating public spaces and fostering community engagement. Urban development projects often include street pop art and graffiti as critical elements in revitalizing and reimagining public areas, signaling a future where these art forms continue to flourish and evolve. France's contribution to street pop art and graffiti is immense, painting a picture of a nation that is both respectful of its past and excited about its future. French urban art stands as a testament to the creativity and resilience of its artists, who navigate the complex interplay between art, space, and society. With each spray, stencil, and mosaic, France cements as a vital player in the global street art narrative, inviting onlookers to partake in its rich cultural dialogue.
