Acrylic, Silkscreen Ink and Spraypaint⁠ Coventry Rag 320gsm ⁠ Signed, Stamped and Embossed
⁠ "The title of this image comes from a line in the poem, "Painted Landscapes Deceive Me -- Dancing Between Angels and Angles". This was a reference to Marie Antoinette arriving in Strasbourg when she first became queen and the faux painted landscapes placed outside her window, created to make her feel welcome. A further reference to De Stijl and Aubette Dance Hall with the angled and rectilinear lines the movement was known for. Along with its proximity to the Cathedral and the angels that grace its walls. Bubbles sort of fly loosely and dance through space, somewhat the antithesis of what De Stijl conveyed but a nice reference to movement. We liked the idea of the girl tearing away the perceptions built up around her while trying not to lose herself." -Faile Artistic Narratives in Motion: The Tale of "Dancing Between Angels/Love Stories B-Side" by Faile "Dancing Between Angels/Love Stories B-Side," a compelling artwork by the artist collective Faile, is a testament to the intricate layering and storytelling inherent in street pop art & graffiti artwork. This limited edition piece, a hand-painted varied edition of 22, is a 24-color hand-pulled silkscreen print embellished with acrylic, silkscreen ink, and spray paint on deckled 310 gsm Coventry Rag paper. Spanning 28 x 40 inches, each print is signed, stamped, and embossed and carries a unique narrative that intertwines historical references with a modern artistic lexicon.

Deconstructing Historical Illusions: Faile's Interpretive Canvas The narrative behind "Dancing Between Angels/Love Stories B-Side" draws from a rich tapestry of historical and artistic references. Inspired by a poem, the title alludes to the deceptive pastoral landscapes presented to Marie Antoinette upon her arrival in Strasbourg, designed to create an illusion of welcome and grandeur. Faile extends this metaphor to explore the concepts of perception and self within the framework of pop and street art. The work visually explores tearing away layers of pretense, a spirited dance between reality and artifice. The piece also pays homage to De Stijl, a Dutch artistic movement emphasizing abstraction and geometric forms. The sharp angles and rectilinear lines characteristic of De Stijl are present in the artwork, juxtaposed with the organic forms of bubbles and the fluidity of the central figure. This contrast is a deliberate nod to movement and dynamism, challenging the rigidity of De Stijl with the fleeting dance of bubbles through space. Movement and Metaphor: Faile's Fusion of Dance and Art At the heart of Faile's creation is the depiction of a female figure caught tearing through the facades surrounding her. This act is literal and symbolic, a dance of liberation that reveals the layers beneath the surface. The figure's upward reach and poised legs evoke a sense of balletic grace, suggesting that tearing away deception is as elegant as forceful. The angels and architectural elements referenced in the artwork serve to anchor the piece within a broader historical narrative, connecting the transient nature of street art with the permanence of cultural heritage. Including these elements creates a dialogue between the past and the present, infusing the work with a sense of timelessness. Visual Poetry: The Rhythmic Allure of Faile's Work "Dancing Between Angels/Love Stories B-Side" is, in essence, a visual poem that speaks to the heart of street pop art & graffiti artwork. It is a dance of colors and forms, a rhythmic composition that transcends the confines of its medium. Faile's work captures the spirit of pop art's dialogue with popular culture, blending it with the subversive edge of street art to create something wholly new and deeply resonant. Each print of this limited edition is a narrative fragment, inviting viewers to engage with the artwork on multiple levels. The dance depicted in the print is not just physical; it is an emotional and psychological journey, a dance of the soul that mirrors the complexity and vibrancy of the human experience. In the diverse world of street pop art & graffiti artwork, "Dancing Between Angels/Love Stories B-Side" by Faile is a powerful expression of the genre's capacity for storytelling and emotional depth. It stands as a reminder that art can be a vehicle for examining our perceptions, tearing away the layers that obscure truth, and celebrating the liberating power of dance and movement.

    Two Americas- Large Format Limited Edition Hand Pulled 4-Color Serigraph Print on Varnished 100% Cotton Rag Archival Paper with hand-deckled edges by Shepard Fairey Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 4-Color Serigraph on Varnished 100% Cotton Rag Archival Paper. 30 x 40 inches. Signed by Shepard Fairey. Numbered edition of 100. Jim Marshall's photograph of a coal mining family in Hazard, Kentucky, taken while he lived with them, says a lot with what it shows, which is a mother and two children huddled together in support of each other, but it says just as much with what it lacks. There is a conspicuous absence of material necessities and a father. I don't know whether the father was working in a coal mine when the photograph was taken or had potentially died young because of the health risks of working under dangerous conditions, but it is clear that the family is struggling and lacking.

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.
