    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

    Saber Laststop Black Light Giclee Print by Saber

    Laststop Black Light Giclee Print by Saber Artwork Limited Edition Print on Hand Deckled Fine Art Paper Graffiti Pop Street Artist. 2023 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 35 Artwork Size 23x17.5. Natural Yellowing to Margins. "This is one of my favorite paintings I created years back. Bringing it back to life over 10 years later with these new materials has been a lot of fun. I almost feel like a kid again playing with these neon sharpies florescent paint pens and shining the black light on the print as I work. Once the light is off, these tags hide in plain sight. It's a little silly, but it does feel a bit magical. Each print is unique and one of a kind. I spent time with each one of these, enjoying the process." -Saber This particular piece, the "Last stop Black Light Giclee Print," is described as a favorite of Saber, revived with the employment of new materials. This process seems to have given the artist a rejuvenating, almost childlike joy. Saber’s approach, integrating neon sharpies and fluorescent paint pens, infuses the work with a playful yet elusive quality, where the artfully reveals itself only under the glow of a black light. This feature adds an interactive dimension to the piece. The prints' unique characteristic of hiding 'tags' in plain sight when not illuminated speaks to the clandestine nature of graffiti culture. Limited to a series of 35, each print has been signed and numbered, indicating a high level of exclusivity and collectibility. The detail of natural yellowing around the margins of the hand-deckled fine art paper contributes to the authenticity of each piece, suggesting a deliberate embrace of the natural aging process and reflecting the often ephemeral nature of street art. The size of the artwork, 23x17.5 inches, provides a generous canvas for Saber’s vibrant work, allowing the intricate details and the contrast between the fluorescent and the dark elements to stand out. The production of the piece in 2023 marks it as a contemporary artifact of street art's ongoing evolution, encapsulating both the history and the current state of the movement. Saber’s connection and time spent on each print ensures that while the edition is limited, no two pieces are exactly alike, each bearing the unique touch of the artist’s hand.

Hand Deckled Paper Graffiti Street Pop Artwork

Hand Deckled Paper: A Textured Tradition in Modern Urban Art

The Craft of Decking in Artistic Expression

The hand-deckled paper carries a tactile and visual richness that has found its way into the practices of street pop art and graffiti artwork. Deckling refers to the method of hand-tearing paper to produce a distinctively feathered edge, contrasting the precise cuts seen in mass-produced materials. This traditional technique imbues each piece with a unique, handcrafted quality, signaling a human touch in the increasingly mechanized art production process.

Deckled Paper in the Context of Street Art

In the context of street art, hand-decked paper serves as a bridge between the transient nature of outdoor murals and the enduring quality of gallery pieces. Artists who translate their work from public spaces to private collections often choose deckled paper for limited edition prints or more miniature scale reproductions, providing art enthusiasts with a piece of the street aesthetic they can own. The irregular edges of deckled paper remind viewers of the imperfections and textures of urban walls, echoing the original context of street art.

Materiality and Technique

The materiality of hand-deckled paper is paramount. The paper is often thicker and more absorbent than standard types, allowing for a rich application of inks and paints that many street pop artists and graffiti writers favor. The decking technique requires patience and a deft hand, as the artist must carefully manipulate the paper to achieve the desired edge. This process ensures that no two pieces are identical, each bearing the marks of its creation.

Aesthetic Appeal and Symbolism

Aesthetically, the appeal of hand-deckled paper lies in its organic and artisanal feel. The deckled edges can subtly frame the artwork, drawing the eye inward and emphasizing the content. Symbolically, the use of hand-deckled paper can represent a respect for the craftsmanship and heritage of artistry, even within the forward-thinking realms of street pop and graffiti art. It is a nod to the past within the ever-evolving narrative of contemporary art.

Integration of Deckled Paper in Modern Art Practices

Integrating hand-deckled paper into modern art practices reflects a growing trend towards the artisanal in a digital world. Street pop and graffiti artists often blend cutting-edge techniques with traditional materials, and hand-deckled paper is a favored medium for this synthesis. The unique edges can also serve as a metaphor for the blurred lines between street art and fine art, between the ephemeral and the permanent. The hand-deckled paper has found a distinctive niche in street pop art and graffiti artwork, revered for its handmade quality and the individuality it brings to each piece. As artists and collectors seek authenticity and connection to the art-making process, hand-decked paper provides a tactile and visual link to the history of artistic expression. In the hands of today's urban artists, this traditional material is reimagined and repurposed, carrying with it the story of art's evolution from the street to the studio and beyond.
