  • To Love And To Hold Giclee Print by Bec Winnel

    Bec Winnel To Love And To Hold Giclee Print by Bec Winnel

    To Love And To Hold Giclee Print by Bec Winnel Artwork Limited Edition Print on Fine Art Paper Graffiti Pop Street Artist. 2014 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 25 Artwork Size 11x16 White Haired Woman with Lilly Flowers. The Alluring Fusion of Florals and Portraiture in "To Love And To Hold" by Bec Winnel "To Love And To Hold," a giclee print by the Australian artist Bec Winnel, presents a compelling blend of portraiture and nature, a common theme within the domain of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork, yet expressed here with a unique finesse. Limited to a collection of 25 signed and numbered editions, the artwork, sized at 11x16 inches, features a white-haired woman with lily flowers, a juxtaposition that evokes themes of purity, beauty, and the delicacy of human emotions. Bec Winnel's Artistic Narrative in Street Pop Art Bec Winnel's contribution to the contemporary art scene is marked by her ethereal and almost otherworldly representations of women, often coupled with elements from nature. "To Love And To Hold" is no exception. Winnel's precise and tender touch breathes life into the paper, creating a texture and depth that might be found in the murals and textures of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork. This print invites the viewer into a narrative woven from the subject's penetrating gaze and the vibrant life of the lily flowers. The interplay between the subject and the lilies in "To Love And To Hold" is significant. Lilies are often associated with devotion, purity, renewal, and rebirth. By juxtaposing these flowers with the woman's gaze, Winnel may suggest a story of enduring love, a moment of contemplation, or a cycle of growth and change. The limited edition nature of the print deepens its value, turning it into a collectible piece that holds not just aesthetic value but also an emotional narrative that resonates with the viewer. Technique and Expression in Winnel's Limited Edition Prints The technique employed by Winnel in her giclee prints ensures that every subtle detail of her original artwork is captured, from the soft hues of the woman's hair to the intricate details of the lily flowers. Giclee printing, known for its high-quality reproduction capabilities, is particularly suited to Winnel's style, which often features soft gradients and delicate shadings that would be lost in lower-quality print methods. "To Love And To Hold" reflects the same attention to detail and expression often found in Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork. While the latter is typically found in urban settings and is characterized by its public display and often bold messages, Winnel's print brings the essence of this artistic expression into a personal and contemplative space. The piece does not shout from a wall but whispers from a frame, allowing for a deeper and more intimate connection with the art. The Lasting Impact of "To Love And To Hold" The lasting impact of "To Love And To Hold" within the broader context of street pop art and graffiti artwork is a testament to the versatility and range of the movement. While Street Pop Art is often associated with urban landscapes and the social and political commentary inherent in graffiti, Winnel's print showcases how the principles of this movement can be translated into different mediums and settings. Her work is a reminder that Street Pop Art is not confined by space or scale but is defined by its ability to touch, engage, and convey meaning. In the hands of those who own a piece of this limited edition print, "To Love And To Hold" continues to be more than just a work of art. It is a portal to a story, an emotion, and a piece of the artist's soul. It is a reminder of the beauty that can be found in stillness, the strength in vulnerability, and the profound connection between humanity and the natural world. As such, Bec Winnel's work is an enduring piece within the ever-evolving narrative of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork, bridging the gap between the intimate and the universal, the private collection and the public spectacle.

  • Winter Cabin Archival Print by Aron Wiesenfeld

    Aron Wiesenfeld Winter Cabin Archival Print by Aron Wiesenfeld

    Winter Cabin Archival Print by Aron Wiesenfeld Limited Edition on 300gsm Cotton Moab Entrada Fine Art Paper Pop Graffiti Street Artist Modern Artwork. 2015 Signed & Numbered Epson HDR Ultrachrome Ink Print Limited Edition of 50 Artwork Size 20x16 Archival Pigment Fine Art Aron Wiesenfeld's "Winter Cabin" and the Essence of Street Pop Art Aron Wiesenfeld's "Winter Cabin" archival print captures the silent introspection of winter with the nuanced touch characteristic of fine art while resonating with the raw, expressive impulses found in Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork. This limited edition piece, released in 2015, utilizes Epson HDR Ultrachrome ink, a medium known for its longevity and vibrant color spectrum, to lay down an image that speaks in hushed tones of solitude and contemplation. Printed on a 300gsm Cotton Moab Entrada Fine Art Paper, the artwork is distinguished by its substantial feel and the ability to hold color with a precision that breathes life into Wiesenfeld's vision. The print, sized at 20x16 inches, is part of an exclusive run of 50, each signed and numbered by the artist, assuring collectors of its authenticity and exclusivity. Wiesenfeld's work stands at the crossroads of contemporary Pop Graffiti and traditional fine art, a path less trodden that he navigates with grace and originality. "Winter Cabin" is a testament to the possibilities that emerge when the boundary-pushing ethos of street art is applied within the context of modern artwork. Despite being more commonly associated with the vibrant, often public executions of graffiti, the spirit of street art can also be found in the stillness of Wiesenfeld's print. It conveys a deeply personal yet universally understood narrative—a hallmark of the most impactful Street Pop Art. The Evocative Imagery of "Winter Cabin" In "Winter Cabin," Wiesenfeld presents a scene steeped in tranquility and mystery. The subject, a solitary figure nestled in the embrace of a wintry landscape, is rendered with a level of detail that invites close inspection. The contrast between the warmth of the human form and the cool detachment of the surrounding environment evokes a sense of introspection, a theme often explored in Street Pop Art, albeit through more boisterous and public avenues. Wiesenfeld's use of light and shadow, the positioning of the figure, and the selection of the environment all work in concert to create a moment suspended in time, reflecting the ephemeral nature of street art and life itself. The limited edition nature of "Winter Cabin" further cements its place within collectible art. As with coveted graffiti, each print holds a fragment of the artist's soul, a piece of a larger narrative spread across the fifty iterations, each as valuable as the next. This scarcity creates a connection between the artist and the owner, similar to the bond formed when encountering a street art piece in its natural urban setting. The signature and numbering by Wiesenfeld not only serve as proof of authenticity but also as an intimate bridge between his creative process and the collector's personal experience with the artwork. Blending Modern Art with Street Pop Sensibilities "Winter Cabin" exists in the liminal space between street art's ephemeral nature and fine art prints' enduring quality. Wiesenfeld's choice of materials ensures the longevity of the print, a contrast to the often-temporary lifespan of street murals and graffiti. However, the spirit of the street is alive in the emotion conveyed through the print. The subject's pose, the intricate patterns that adorn her clothing, and the setting she is placed in all speak to the artist's understanding of the human condition, a theme deeply entrenched in Street Pop Art. This grasp of universal human experiences, coupled with a personal touch, elevates "Winter Cabin" above mere representation; it becomes a piece of storytelling, a visual poem crafted in the language of color and form. Aron Wiesenfeld's "Winter Cabin" is a modern artwork imbued with the ethos of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork. It encapsulates a narrative that, while rooted in the stillness of a private moment, echoes the dynamic, accessible, and emotionally charged nature of street art. Each limited edition print serves as a gateway to a profound personal journey, a moment of quiet amidst the cacophony of urban life, and a reminder of the soft power art can hold in all its forms.

  • Felt Carousel Giclee Print by Bec Winnel

    Bec Winnel Felt Carousel Giclee Print by Bec Winnel

    Felt Carousel Giclee Print by Bec Winnel Artwork Limited Edition Print on Fine Art Paper Graffiti Pop Street Artist. 2012 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 50 Artwork Size 12x16 Stylized Fashion Clown Young Woman Crying. The Visual Poetry of "Felt Carousel" by Bec Winnel "Felt Carousel," a Giclee print by the renowned Australian artist Bec Winnel, is a stunning visual narrative that embodies the essence of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork. Released in 2012, this limited edition artwork is a treasure trove of emotional depth, signed and numbered to ensure exclusivity for art collectors. Only 50 pieces exist worldwide, each measuring 12x16 inches and printed on fine art paper, a testament to the enduring allure of tactile, physical art in an increasingly digital world. Embracing Vulnerability in Street Pop Art The subject of "Felt Carousel" is a young woman, styled as a fashion clown, with a single tear marking her visage. This image diverges from the often vibrant and aggressive tones associated with graffiti art, offering a moment of vulnerability and introspection. Winnel masterfully blends the whimsy of a carousel, traditionally a symbol of childhood innocence, with the complex emotional state of the woman, creating a layered piece that invites contemplation. The contrast of the woman's tearful expression against the light-hearted motif of the carousel hat suggests a narrative of complexity within simplicity. This approach is emblematic of Street Pop Art's evolution, capable of expressing societal commentary and the profound personal struggles and joys that define the human experience. Contemplating the Subtleties of Street Art and Expression Bec Winnel's "Felt Carousel" print is a poignant reminder that Street Pop Art is not monolithic; it is a diverse and dynamic expression that transcends traditional boundaries. The choice of a Giclee print for this work underscores the importance of quality and longevity in art, ensuring that the delicate nuances of Winnel's pastel palette and the emotional gravity of the piece are preserved over time. In the broader context, "Felt Carousel" contributes to the narrative that Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork are not confined to public displays on urban walls but are also at home in private collections, which can be reflected upon in personal spaces. With its interplay of innocence and sorrow, this print demonstrates the genre's capacity to delve deep into the psyche, proving that street art can be as contemplative and stirring as any classical portrait. A Testament to the Enduring Spirit of Artistic Expression Finally, "Felt Carousel" is a testament to Bec Winnel's ability to evoke emotion and tell a story through her art. The fashion clown motif and the subject's genuine feeling craft a unique narrative open to interpretation yet universally understood. As one of the limited 50 owners of this print, collectors are invited to engage in a silent dialogue with the artwork, contemplating the myriad emotions that it elicits. Bec Winnel, through her sensitive and evocative portrayal of the human condition, continues to make an indelible mark on the world of contemporary art. "Felt Carousel" is not just a print; it is a piece of Winnel's soul, shared with the world, and a reminder that true artistry lies in the ability to elicit feeling and thought through the silent language of imagery.

    Sarah Joncas Medusae PP Archival Print by Sarah Joncas

    Medusae PP Printer Proof Archival Print by Sarah Joncas Limited Edition Print on 290gsm Moab Fine Art Paper Pop Artist Modern Artwork. PP Printers Proof 2019 Signed & Marked PP Limited Edition Artwork Size 12x16 Archival Pigment Fine Art Delving into 'Medusae PP' by Sarah Joncas 'Medusae PP,' an archival print by Sarah Joncas, is a visual symphony of mythological resonance and contemporary finesse. As a Printer's Proof (PP) of a 2019 limited edition, this piece marks a unique intersection in Joncas's oeuvre, where the ethereal meets the tangible on fine art paper. Signed and drawn by the artist, the artwork measures 12x16 inches. It is printed on 290gsm Moab fine art paper, a testament to its enduring quality and the artist's dedication to preserving the integrity of her vision. Symbolism and Femininity in Joncas's Work The print, titled 'Medusae,' explores femininity and transformation, depicting a woman whose hair and form are an extension of the sea, with jellyfish-like tendrils that suggest a mesmerizing, if not slightly ominous, aura. This imagery evokes the myth of Medusa, a figure both feared and revered, and it resonates with the transformative power of nature—a theme that Joncas weaves with deftness throughout her work. In 'Medusae PP,' Joncas's subject is enigmatic, her gaze evading direct contact with the viewer, inviting a narrative that is as open to interpretation as the vast sea. Cool tones and the contrast of the subject's warm, flowing hair capture the viewer's attention, drawing them into a world where myth and modernity merge. Artistic Process and Limited Editions Creating a Printer's Proof like 'Medusae PP' involves a close collaboration between the artist and the printmaker, ensuring that each color and line reflects the original painting's essence. The PP designation signifies that this print precedes the numbered edition, reserved for the artist's use and typically held in high regard by collectors for its rarity and authenticity. Joncas's choice of archival pigment fine art reflects her commitment to creating works that endure beyond the ephemerality often associated with street art. By doing so, she elevates the medium, aligning it with the longevity of fine art while maintaining the accessibility and appeal inherent to street pop art. Sarah Joncas's Impact on Modern Art Sarah Joncas's impact on the contemporary art scene is marked by her ability to imbue her subjects with a sense of depth that transcends the canvas. Her work is often seen as a bridge between the immediacy of street pop art and the meticulous nature of fine art printing, positioning her as an essential figure in both domains. 'Medusae PP' is not merely an image but an invitation to delve into the psyche to confront the narratives we construct around femininity, beauty, and transformation. Joncas's work, particularly this print, is a testament to the enduring power of myth and the ever-evolving discourse of pop, street art, and graffiti artwork. Through her art, Joncas continues to challenge, enchant, and inspire, cementing her role as a pivotal artist in the narrative of modern art.

  • Tyler Giclee Print by Bec Winnel

    Tyler Giclee Print by Bec Winnel Artwork Limited Edition Print on Fine Art Paper Graffiti Pop Street Artist. 2014 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 25 Artwork Size 10.5x16 Blue/White Haired Young Woman Close Up on Face. Reflective Intimacy in "Tyler" by Bec Winnel The "Tyler" giclee print by Bec Winnel, a celebrated Australian artist, is a striking testament to the confluence of Street Pop Art and portraiture on fine art paper. This 2014 signed and numbered limited edition of 25, sized at 10.5x16 inches, offers a mesmerizing close-up of a young woman with blue and white hair. This subject blends contemporary aesthetics with classic finesse. Winnel's work, particularly the "Tyler" print, diverges from the common perceptions of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork, often associated with bold lines and vibrant colors splashed across public spaces. Instead, Winnel brings the essence of this movement into a more nuanced realm, where the subtlety of expression and the depth of gaze speak volumes. The subject's blue and white hair, often seen as a symbol of individuality in modern pop culture, contrasts with her timeless facial features, creating a piece that transcends eras and styles. The choice of giclee printing allows for an extraordinary level of detail, capturing the soft transitions of tone and the delicate textures that characterize Winnel's style. This method of art is synonymous with the highest quality in today's printmaking technology, much like the precision required in creating impactful street art. The limited availability of "Tyler" further emphasizes its value, echoing the often transient nature of street art that, once created, may only exist briefly before it is transformed or erased. While Bec Winnel may not wield a spray can on an alley wall, her artwork like "Tyler" carries the spirit of Street Pop Art into personal spaces, proving that the essence of this genre can manifest beyond concrete and brick. Her work encapsulates the introspective humanity that street artists often seek to express through their public works. The limited edition "Tyler" bridges the gap between the public art typically associated with street and graffiti artists and the private, contemplative experience of engaging with fine art.

Hair

Hair as a Symbol in Street Pop Art

From the iconic Warhol wigs to the vibrant and expressive spray-paint portraits found on urban walls, hair has played a significant role in the visual language of pop art, street art, and graffiti art. Its significance goes beyond just aesthetics, serving as a medium of cultural commentary, individual expression, and socio-political critique. Pop art, originating in the 1950s and 60s, often took inspiration from everyday objects and images, recontextualizing them to offer a fresh perspective. Within this movement, hair, especially hairstyles associated with popular celebrities, became symbolic of consumerism, celebrity culture, and the rapidly changing trends of the times. Artists like Andy Warhol leveraged the allure of hair, using it as a central element in his silkscreen prints. Marilyn Monroe’s glamorous blonde locks, for instance, repeated across canvas in bold colors, spoke of her iconic status but also hinted at the artifice and commercial nature of fame. The mass repetition of such imagery underscored the mechanized, commodified aspect of popular culture. Hair, in this regard, became both a subject and symbol within pop art. In the realm of street and graffiti art, hair takes on an even more nuanced and varied significance. Hair, in its myriad forms and connotations, has emerged as a powerful symbol within the domain of street pop art and graffiti artwork. It represents a canvas upon which artists project ideas related to identity, freedom, rebellion, and societal norms. In the vibrant landscape of urban art, hair is not merely a subject but a statement—a tool that artists wield with skill to convey messages that are as varied as the styles they depict. Street pop art, known for its visual punch and immediacy, often employs hair as a motif to draw attention to the socio-political themes of the era. Graffiti artists, too, use the image of hair to reflect individuality and diversity. Through the prism of hair, these artists celebrate the stories and experiences of people from all walks of life. Whether it is the flowing locks that adorn the portraits of iconic figures or the stylized depictions of everyday characters, hair in street art and graffiti becomes a metaphor for expression.

The Aesthetics of Hair in Contemporary Art

Street artists often use the walls of cities as their canvases, drawing from the environment, local culture, and current issues. In many urban settings, hair serves as a representation of cultural identity, socio-economic status, rebellion, or belonging. Graffiti artists often accentuate hairstyles, be it intricate braids representative of African or Afro-Caribbean cultures, or the sharp, angular cuts popular in urban punk scenes. These are not just depictions but are symbols of defiance, pride, or sometimes even resistance against prevailing norms and stereotypes. Beyond cultural identity, the portrayal of hair in street art has also been instrumental in drawing attention to pertinent issues such as racial bias and gender norms. Portraits showcasing the natural beauty of curly or coiled hair challenge prevailing beauty standards and comment on racial prejudices. Similarly, depictions of shaved or androgynous hairstyles might question traditional gender norms and the fluidity of identity. The methods and mediums used in graffiti art further enhance the significance of hair in these pieces. The very nature of spray paint allows for a dynamic range of expression. With swift strokes, an artist can create the illusion of flowing locks or the texture of a curly mane. The juxtaposition of hair, with its organic and fluid form, against the often rigid and gritty urban landscapes, creates a powerful visual statement. This contrast not only captures attention but often invites viewers to consider deeper narratives and stories behind such artworks. To understand the role of hair in pop, street, and graffiti art is to appreciate its transformative power. It's a medium that has allowed artists to delve into themes of identity, culture, rebellion, and society. Whether through the vibrant hues of a Warhol print or the textured strokes of a graffiti portrait, hair stands as a testament to the evolving dialogues and discourses within the world of art. In the context of modern street pop art, hair has been used to challenge gender stereotypes and explore cultural dynamics. Artists may exaggerate hairstyles to emphasize a point or to defy conventional beauty standards. Murals showcasing individuals with unique and bold hairdos are not uncommon and serve to highlight the artist's perspective on individuality and self-expression. The art of depicting hair requires a nuanced understanding of form and flow, making it a technical challenge as well. The texture of hair, the way it frames a face or character, and its movement can bring energy and life to a piece. In the hands of a skilled artist, hair transcends its role as a mere physical feature and becomes a dynamic element of the composition. It is both a visual focus and a thematic linchpin, often influencing the interpretation of the artwork itself.

Street Art, Pop Culture, and the Iconography of Hair

Hair in the context of street pop art also becomes a means of paying homage or critiquing popular culture. Icons of music, film, and fashion are frequently represented, with their distinctive hairstyles acting as shorthand for their identity. The striking afro of a 70s music legend, the slick back hair of a film icon, or the ever-changing colors of a pop star—these depictions utilize hair to encapsulate the essence of the subject. The role of hair in the lexicon of street art and graffiti artwork is emblematic of the timelessness of human adornment and decoration. As a feature that is both personal and public, hair encapsulates the dual nature of street art: an individual statement made in a space that is inherently communal. It is a reflection of both the artist's inner world and the broader cultural dialogue, making it a potent motif for commentary and artistry in the public sphere. Hair serves as a versatile and evocative theme within street pop art and graffiti artwork. It is used by artists to explore themes of identity, society, culture, and aesthetics. The depiction of hair in urban art becomes a form of storytelling, a way to engage with viewers, and an avenue for artists to leave their mark on the canvas of the city. Through the strokes of a paintbrush or the spray of a can, hair is transformed into a statement, a symbol, and a signature within the ever-evolving narrative of street art.
