    Diaspora Ono Original Painting Enamel and Acrylic on Plexiglass by Askew One Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2015 Signed Original Painting Artwork Size 20x14 Custom Framed "Back in April/May of 2014, I spent around 6 weeks based in Los Angeles making these paintings for my solo show at Known Gallery. I was living and working above the TSL store, trying my best to make enough work to fill the space which was a pretty daunting task. The pieces themselves are a combination of head portraits painted in what I would say are my signature style and then also a series of smaller abstract works that signify the idea of migration through the Pacific, both in a historic and recent sense. The model for the portraits was my friend Sereima aka Stelly, who’s Sydney-based and of Fijian descent. To me, she really represents the changing face of the Pacific in many ways. Following on from a really successful show in Sydney, ‘The Evolving Face’ I wanted to move away from the mugshot poses of the previous body and bring more attitude and exuberance and Sereima was perfect because she is the absolute embodiment of those things." - Askew Elliot O'Donnell, famously known as Askew One, is a self-taught artist born in Auckland, New Zealand in 1979.

Emerald Tones: The Use of Green in Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork

Green's Emergence in Urban Visual Culture

Green, the color of nature and rebirth, has made a significant leap from the natural world into the urban jungle, asserting its presence within street pop art and graffiti artwork. As a color, green has the unique ability to convey a wide range of emotions and messages, from tranquility and growth to envy and vigor. Within street pop and graffiti, green is not just a color; it's a statement. It brings a piece of the natural world into the often stark, concrete environment of the city, providing a stark contrast that can breathe life into inanimate structures and surfaces. 

Technical Aspects of Green in Street Artistry

The technical application of green in urban art is as varied as the shades it can take on. In street pop art, green can be found in everything from the bright lime greens that scream for attention to the muted olive tones that suggest sophistication and earthiness. Graffiti artists favor the color for its ability to set a mood. Green can ground a piece with a sense of calmness or give it an edge of vibrancy. The particular hue selected can significantly affect the artwork's interaction with light and its surrounding environment, influencing how the work is perceived by its audience. 

Green as a Cultural Signifier in Art

Culturally, green carries a wealth of significance that street and pop artists tap into. It's a color that can represent political movements, environmental activism, and social change. In street pop and graffiti art, green is often employed to draw connections to these themes, leveraging its cultural capital to amplify a message or cause. This symbolism is preserved in the audience; green can trigger a recognition of and engagement with the artwork's deeper narrative.

Color Dynamics: Green in Composition

In terms of color dynamics, green holds a place of versatility. It can harmonize or clash within a composition, depending on its application. The color theory utilized by street pop and graffiti artists often incorporates green to either blend seamlessly with other natural tones or to stand out against a complementary backdrop, such as red or orange. In compositions where green is used alongside shades of blue, a sense of tranquility and naturalism is often evoked. In contrast, its use of yellows can create an energizing and lively effect.

The Symbolism and Utility of Green in Urban Art

The symbolism of green in urban art stretches beyond its visual appeal. It is a valuable color, often used to create a sense of space and depth in a piece. Its various shades can add dimension and the illusion of texture, which is particularly useful in the flat surfaces that are typical canvases for street artists. Furthermore, green has an innate ability to draw the eye, serving as a focal point or a means to direct the viewer's attention to specific elements within the artwork.

Green in the Future of Street and Pop Art

As we look to the future of street pop art and graffiti, green's role seems poised to become even more prominent. With increasing awareness of environmental issues, green has become a color of advocacy—a visual call to arms. The continued use of green in urban art reflects not only aesthetic preferences but also a collective consciousness that resonates with contemporary concerns. Its application across murals, installations, and standalone pieces will likely evolve. Still, the message of green will remain clear: it is a color of life, thought, and the ever-present relationship between the urban and the natural. In every shade, from neon to forest, green in street pop art and graffiti artwork is a bridge between worlds. It is a reminder of the organic within the manufactured, a splash of vitality on the grey canvas of the city. Its application is as thoughtful as it is impactful, with each hue selected for its ability to communicate, to stand out, and to represent the myriad ideas that green encapsulates. Whether it whispers of growth or shouts of change, green is a color that demands to be seen and considered within the broader palette of urban expression.
