  • Protect The Blue Planet- Large Format Serigraph Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Shepard Fairey- OBEY Protect The Blue Planet- Large Format Serigraph Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Protect The Blue Planet- Large Format Limited Edition Hand Pulled 2-Color Serigraph Print on 100% Cotton Coventry Rag Paper by Shepard Fairey Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2022 Signed & Numbered Hand Deckled 30 x 41 inches Serigraph on Coventry Rag, 100% cotton custom archival paper Hand-deckled edges Limited Edition of 75 Signed + Numbered Printed by Obey Giant "Protect The Blue Planet" stands as a testament to Shepard Fairey's dedication to using his art as a vehicle for environmental advocacy, fusing the worlds of pop art, street art, and graffiti art. This limited edition, hand-pulled 2-color serigraph, reveals the intricate relationship between humanity and our environment. Imprinted on 100% cotton Coventry Rag paper, the choice of material underpins Fairey’s commitment to sustainable artistry. The dimensionality of the piece, 30 x 41 inches, lends itself to an immersive viewing experience, accentuated further by its hand-deckled edges, which bring a tactile, organic touch, reminiscent of the raw edges of street posters. In partnering with the PangeaSeed Foundation to release this work for Earth Month, Fairey encapsulates the pressing environmental concerns of the modern era. Central to the piece is the depiction of an endangered North Atlantic right whale that exudes a mandala with the earth cradled within. This mandala, rooted in various cultural traditions, signifies harmony, unity, and the interconnectivity of the planet's ecosystems. The floral ornaments within it blossom as symbols of flourishing harmony, but the contrasting inclusion of flames starkly reminds viewers of the ever-looming threat of global warming. The text - "Protect the Blue Planet" and "One Ocean-One People" - along with the chosen blue palette, draws attention to the inextricable bond between thriving oceans and a sustainable world. As a renowned figure in the street art community, Fairey's work has always pushed boundaries, and with "Protect The Blue Planet", he once again blurs the lines between artistic expression, activism, and social responsibility, reminding the world of its role in safeguarding the planet. "To celebrate Earth Month, in collaboration with PangeaSeed Foundation, I’m pleased to release, “Protect The Blue Planet” which features an endangered North Atlantic right whale emanating a mandala with the earth as its focal point. In several cultures, the mandala represents harmony, unity, and wholeness, all of which are important concepts when considering the interconnected nature of the planet’s ecosystems, people, and species. The mandala features floral ornaments symbolizing harmony in bloom, but also flames as a reminder of the perils of global warming. The “Protect the Blue Planet” and “One Ocean-One People” text within the artwork and the blue color palette serve to emphasize the crucial connection between healthy oceans and a healthy planet." – Shepard

Created in 2023, Dulk- Antonio Segura Donat's masterpiece resonates with a keen sense of depth and is made even more exclusive by its limited availability - a mere 30 signed and numbered pieces in circulation.

The graffiti influence in the artwork is unmistakable, and it lends a vibrant dynamism to the usually fearsome creature, accentuating its majestic elegance. The depth of the ocean, often synonymous with mystery and vast, unexplored territories, has been captured in hues of deep teal blue, lending an aura of mesmerizing beauty to the painting. Amidst this surreal background, the hammerhead shark swims majestically, surrounded by a lively and vividly colored coral that not only adds a splash of color but also accentuates the sense of depth in the artwork. The coral is not merely a decorative element; it introduces an intricate layer of naturalistic details into the graffiti-inspired work, creating a sense of depth and perspective rarely seen in such art forms. The Biscayne XL Giclee Print, with its vivid depiction of an undersea marvel, serves as an emblematic representation of Dulk- Antonio Segura Donat's style and artistic vision.

  • Fish Original Graphite Pencil Drawing by Naoto Hattori

    Naoto Hattori Fish Original Graphite Pencil Drawing by Naoto Hattori

    Fish Original Hand Drawn Art Drawing on Framed Hand Deckled Aged Art Paper by Surreal Artist Naoto Hattori. 2012 Signed Original One-of-a-Kind Pencil/Graphite Drawing Framed Artwork Frame Size 8.5x8.5 Image Size 3x5 Custom Framed & Matted By Artist, Slight Scuffing To Frame Consistent to Age. The Artistic Journey of Naoto Hattori's Fish Original Drawing Naoto Hattori's unique contribution to the art world often finds a comfortable residence at the intersection of surrealism and street art. The 'Fish Original' hand-drawn art piece on framed hand-deckled aged art paper is a distinct representation of this artistic blend. Crafted in 2012, this original pencil/graphite drawing is a testament to Hattori's intricate style and ability to create depth and narrative within the confines of minimalist subject matter. The artwork, housed within a custom 8.5x8.5 inch frame, showcases an image size of 3x5 inches, offering a glimpse into the artist's surreal perspective through the lens of street pop art and graffiti artwork. This singular piece by Hattori is a signed, original, one-of-a-kind drawing showcasing monochromatic art's subtle yet powerful impact. The decision to create this work on hand-deckled aged art paper indicates Hattori's reverence for the textural qualities that the paper brings to the artwork. The deckled edges add an element of antiquity and an organic feel to the piece, enhancing the visual experience and complementing the simplicity of the subject—a single fish. The drawing, while straightforward in its representation, is imbued with a sense of motion and life, capturing the subject's essence with a delicate realism often associated with Hattori's work. Exploring the Nuances of Hattori's Surrealism in a Street Art Context The 'Fish Original' piece by Naoto Hattori is a subtle nod to the fluidity of street pop art and the evocative nature of graffiti artwork. While Hattori's work is primarily rooted in surrealism, the influences of street art are evident in the way he approaches his subjects. This drawing has a certain rawness and directness, qualities frequently celebrated in street art. The pencil work is precise, yet there is an undercurrent of freedom and spontaneity that aligns with the spirit of graffiti art. Custom framed and matted by the artist, the 'Fish Original' drawing reflects Hattori's hands-on approach to his art from inception to presentation. The slight scuffing on the frame, consistent with its age, adds character to the piece, suggesting a history beyond its visual content. This kind of patina often draws admirers of street art to such pieces, as it provides a rich and personal narrative. The scuffs are not flaws but marks of a journey, much like the weathered walls that serve as canvases in street art.  Street Pop Art, Graffiti Artwork, and the Intimacy of Small-Scale Works The world of street pop art and graffiti artwork is known for its boldness and large-scale visibility. However, pieces like Hattori's 'Fish Original' challenge this convention by bringing the intimacy of small-scale artwork into focus. Through this drawing, Hattori communicates that the essence of street pop art is not confined to size but is found in the authenticity and expressive power of the piece. Hattori's choice of framing and matting further personalizes the artwork, making it a complete piece that offers a narrative, much like street art, which often tells stories in the public domain. The 'Fish Original' by Naoto Hattori bridges the often disparate worlds of fine art and street art, marrying the intricacy of pencil drawing with the accessible, emotive drawing of street pop art. It exemplifies how art can transcend boundaries and speak to a diverse audience. This drawing, with its meticulous craftsmanship and the textured backdrop of aged paper, is a cherished piece in contemporary art, offering a moment of contemplation and connection in the bustling dialogue of street pop art and graffiti artwork. It stands as a beacon of the potential that lies in the fusion of different artistic disciplines, as seen through the visionary eyes of Naoto Hattori.

  • Three-Piece Etching Aquatint Print by Zwy Milshtein

    Zwy Milshtein Three-Piece Etching Aquatint Print by Zwy Milshtein

    Three-Piece Etching Limited Edition Etching with Aquatint Print on Hand-Decorated Fine Art Paper by Zwy Milshtein is a pop art graffiti artist art. 1970 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition Etching Art Print. Artist: Zwy Milshtein Title: Three Piece Etching Medium: etching, with Aquatint Size: 21 x 30 inches Edition: Signed in pencil and marked 26/75 Zwy Milshtein: A Maestro of Etching and Aquatint Zwy Milshtein's artistic narrative is one of movement, not just across geographies but also through the evolution of his distinct style and technique. Born in 1934 in Kichinev, now known as Moldova, Milshtein's journey through the turbulence of World War II led him from Russia to Romania and eventually to Israel. However, in Paris, to which he moved in 1955, Milshtein found his enduring artistic home. Here, he became renowned as both a painter and a master engraver, celebrated for his etchings and engravings that capture the complexity of human experience. The Intertwining Paths of Engraving and Street Art The "Three-Piece Etching" by Milshtein is a testament to the craftsmanship and depth of engraving as an art form. Completed in 1970, this signed and numbered limited edition etching with aquatint, measuring 21 x 30 inches, is a fine example of Milshtein's adeptness with aquatint—a technique that allows for the creation of tonal effects, producing rich textures and a range of shades that lend a painterly quality to prints. This artwork, part of an exclusive series marked 26/75, is particularly notable for its abstract composition and the intriguing use of negative space, which engages the viewer in a visual dialogue reminiscent of contemporary street art and graffiti. Milshtein's Impact on Contemporary Art Milshtein's influence on the art world is well-documented through numerous exhibitions and retrospectives. His work was featured at ARC, the Museum of Modern Art in Paris, and in 1978, the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris hosted a retrospective exhibition of his engravings. His artistic achievements include participation in the Hans Christian Andersen House project 1997, where he, along with other top European artists, paid tribute to the Danish author's bicentennial birthday. The aesthetic choices and technical skill displayed in works like "Three-Piece Etching" echo the visual strategies found in street pop art and graffiti. Milshtein's art, while distinct in its medium and execution, shares the spirit of innovation and subversion that is a hallmark of street art. His engravings invite the public to explore themes of identity, memory, and existence, much like street art and graffiti often do within the urban landscape. Zwy Milshtein's contributions to the world of engraving and his explorations in aquatint have secured his reputation as an artist of great skill and depth. "Three-Piece Etching" is a prime example of his ability to communicate complex ideas through printmaking. His legacy continues to inspire and influence artists within and beyond pop art, street art, and graffiti, affirming his artistry's enduring power and relevance.

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.
