    Saber Black Widow Black & Red 21_21a Original Spray Paint Charcoal Painting by Saber

    Black Widow Black & Red 21_21a Original Spray Paint Charcoal Painting by Saber One of a Kind Artwork on Fine Art Paper by Street Art Pop Artist. 2022 Signed Spray Paint & Charcoal Pencil Original Painting On Hand Deckled Paper Size 15x17.5. "I love Black Widows ⚫️ ♦️🕷... growing up in Southern California we are surrounded by them. Once you notice thier presents they have a tendency to seep into your subconscious, as they have mine. I spent a little extra time with this series. I added little spider and web details hidden in each piece. Also I'm including some extra gifts created for this series within the packaging. These are not prints but individual paintings. This was created by dipping the edges of the paper in water then quickly scrawling on it with waterbased spraypaint using a fat cap. Then, quickly blast it with a hose while it is still wet to reveal the spraypaints ghost like textures and whips. These ghost shapes become the pathways to then detail out with black charcoal pencil. Because of the fast chaotic nature of the first stage of this process using the spraypaint each piece becomes unique yet simular. The detailing process of the second stage using the black charcoal pencil is slower paced and requires more attention. This drawing process becomes cathartic and meditative as each little puzzle is completed. -Also, as I was working on this series, my son was inspired to draw this baby blackwidow drawing. He insisted I hide this as a gift in one of the packages as a thank you.." -Saber

  • Neon Pink Black Widow Spider HPM Mixed Media Unique by Saber Neon Pink Black Widow Spider HPM Mixed Media Unique by Saber

    Saber Neon Pink Black Widow Spider HPM Mixed Media Unique by Saber

    Neon Pink Black Widow Spider HPM Mixed Media Unique by Saber Hand-Painted Ink, Colored Pencils, Marker, Highlighter on Fine Art Paper Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art.  2023 Signed & Numbered Mixed Unique Edition Original Series Edition of 25 HPM Hand-Drawn Pen Ink, Highlighter Marker, Marker, and Colored Pencils Artwork Size 3.5x3 Mini Drawing of the Pink Spiders & Black Widow Spider. Includes Hand Painted & Tagged Cardboard. Intersecting Nature and Urban Expression in Saber's Art The 'Neon Pink Black Widow Spider HPM Mixed Media Unique' series is a stunning representation of street pop art's versatility and depth, created by the renowned graffiti artist Saber. This 2023 collection, a numbered series of 25 unique hand-painted multiples (HPM), features miniature 3.5x3 inch drawings of black widow spiders rendered in a striking neon pink. These pieces are accompanied by hand-painted and tagged cardboard, combining natural motifs and urban art sensibilities. Saber's Mixed Media Mastery Saber, an artist whose works are embedded in the DNA of modern street art, utilizes a diverse range of materials such as pen ink, highlighter, marker, and colored pencils to bring these arachnids to life. The neon pink is arresting and symbolic, challenging the viewer's perceptions of danger and attraction. In the natural world, bright colors often serve as a warning, and in the urban landscape, they demand attention – a parallel that Saber skillfully draws upon in his artwork. The inclusion of hand-painted cardboard adds an element of raw authenticity to the series. Cardboard, a ubiquitous and often discarded material, is transformed into a valuable part of the art, questioning the hierarchy of materials and the value assigned to different mediums. This approach is emblematic of street pop art's capacity to elevate the mundane and to find beauty in the overlooked. Themes of Survival and Beauty Black widow spiders are creatures that evoke a mixture of fear and fascination. Saber taps into this duality, using the spiders as a metaphor for resilience and the delicate balance between beauty and danger. This narrative is particularly resonant within the context of street pop art and graffiti artwork, where the act of creation itself is often a form of survival and defiance. The spiders, set against Saber's signature tags backdrop, embody the tension inherent in street art – the push and pull between legality and expression, between the individual artist and the broader community. Through his neon pink black widows, Saber invites a dialogue about the interplay between instincts and urban environments and the instinctual drive to leave a mark through silk webs or spray paint.

Graphite & Colored Pencils
Graphite and colored pencils might seem like the tools of traditional fine artists and illustrators, but they have found a unique and vibrant place within the realms of pop art, street art, and graffiti artwork. These humble instruments, known for their precision and range of expression, have been wielded by artists to challenge the boundaries between high art and popular culture.

Graphite's Grey Scale in Pop Art's Colorful World

Graphite pencils have been essential in creating preliminary sketches and detailed drawings in pop art. The subtle gradations of grey achievable with graphite have allowed artists to render the shadows and highlights necessary to bring a sense of three-dimensionality to two-dimensional pop art pieces. This effect can be seen in the early works of Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol, where pencil sketches served as the blueprint for their bold, colorful paintings that often commented on consumerist culture.

Colored Pencils: Bringing Vibrancy to Street Pop Art & Graffiti

Colored pencils bring a burst of energy and life to the monochromatic world of pencil drawing. In the hands of street artists and pop art creators, colored pencils are not just for coloring within the lines; they are tools for innovation. Street artists have utilized colored pencils to add intricate details to their works, create mock-ups of large murals, or produce standalone pieces characterized by their vibrancy and finesse.

The Role of Pencils in Crafting Street Art Narratives

In the storytelling of street pop art and graffiti, pencils play a crucial role. Artists like Banksy and Shepard Fairey have used pencil drawings to plan out their iconic works, with Fairey's "Obey Giant" campaign starting as a simple sticker that evolved from his illustrations. Pencil work enables artists to plot out visual narratives, which are then translated onto walls and canvases across the globe.

Graphite and Colored Pencils in Artistic Exploration

The exploration of graphite and colored pencils in pop art and graffiti extends to texture and form. Artists have experimented with these tools to create works that push the envelope of what can be achieved with simple strokes. The layering of colors, blending, and textural effects achieved with pencils allow for a depth and richness that rival that of paint, yet with a distinctive clarity that only pencils can impart. The use of graphite and colored pencils in street pop art and graffiti artwork is a celebration of the potential within the basic tools of art. These mediums, often associated with the early stages of art education and preliminary art processes, hold their own as powerful means of expression in the world of contemporary art. Whether used for planning, detailing, or creating complete works, pencils are an artist's ally, capable of bringing the vivid world of imagination to the tangible canvas of reality.
