Released in 2022, this 5-color hand letterpress print on fine cotton paper measures 24x18 inches and is a notable collectible due to its short run of only 100 signed and numbered pieces. Yerena, under his creative banner Hecho Con Ganas, continues to weave his cultural narratives and political sentiments into his art, drawing on his Mexican-American roots to speak to both communal and personal identities. The exquisite quality of this piece is immediately evident, achieved by employing individual metal plates for each color, a traditional and meticulous process that ensures the vibrancy and depth of the print. Aardvark Letterpress in Los Angeles, California, known for its exceptional letterpress work, is the printmaker behind this piece, lending its longstanding craftsmanship to Yerena's contemporary vision. The use of 100% cotton paper not only provides a luxurious texture but also serves as a nod to the artist’s dedication to quality and sustainability. In "Flowering Dignity Colibri," the interplay of color and form is striking. The central motif, a mandala-like floral pattern, is flanked by two hummingbirds, symbolizing agility, vitality, and resilience. These elements are set against geometric shapes and patterns that add a sense of movement and depth to the composition. The warmth of the colors used in the floral pattern contrasts with the cool tones of the background, creating a visual pop that's characteristic of pop art’s attention-grabbing style. This piece sits at the intersection of pop art, street art, and graffiti art, carrying forward the rebellious spirit and the bold aesthetics of these movements. Yet, it remains distinct in its embodiment of the artisanal letterpress technique, demonstrating how traditional methods can converse with contemporary art forms. Yerena Montejano’s "Flowering Dignity Colibri" stands as a piece of resistance and celebrates cultural heritage, inviting viewers to find beauty and strength in its intricate layers and the message it conveys.

  • Rise Above Bird Letterpress Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Shepard Fairey- OBEY Rise Above Bird Letterpress Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Rise Above Bird Letterpress Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled on Cream Cotton Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork Pop Culture Artist. 2021 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 450 Artwork Size 13x10 Letterpress Print of Bird with Flower Flying & Words Rise Above "The Rise Above Bird " is a simple twist on the white peace dove with an olive branch, but good guys don't always wear white! The "rise above" is a call to take the high road with a nod to one of my favorite Black Flag songs. Peace is radical punk!" -Shepard Fairey- OBEY. Shepard Fairey's "Rise Above Bird" letterpress print emerges as a striking piece of visual commentary in street and pop art. The artwork, a limited edition hand-pulled print on cream cotton fine art paper, showcases Fairey's adeptness at blending strong messages with iconic imagery. Limited to a series of 450, each piece is signed and numbered by the artist, reflecting its exclusivity and collectible nature. The print, measuring 13x10 inches, features a bird in mid-flight, carrying a flower—a symbol that deviates from the traditional white peace dove. The image is set against a backdrop of stylistic elements and the words "Rise Above," which serve as an encouraging motto and a tribute to the artist's favorite song by the band Black Flag. This piece symbolizes Fairey's larger body of work, which often intersects with the themes of rebellion and peace, a juxtaposition at the heart of much street pop and graffiti artwork. The term' rise above' does not merely suggest an elevation in position or status; it is an ideological summons, urging viewers to surpass the ordinary, to overcome adversity, and to reject complacency. Fairey's artistry here is not just in the piece's visual appeal but also in its capability to provoke thought and inspire action. Shepard Fairey's influence in modern street pop and graffiti artwork is undeniable. His works are infused with political and social undertones, calling for a challenge to the status quo and advocating for a radical form of peace that aligns with the punk ethos. The "Rise Above Bird" is a testament to Fairey's consistent vision, which has solidified his place as a pivotal figure in contemporary art. It stands as a bold statement in the ongoing dialogue about the power of art to enact change and the artist's role in a society that often needs to be reminded to look beyond the surface.

Letterpress Print Fine Art Graffiti Street Pop Artwork

Exploration of Letterpress Prints Fine Art in Modern Visual Culture

Letterpress printing, a relief printing technique using a printing press, has experienced a renaissance within pop art, street art, and graffiti artwork. Once a standard method of producing text on paper, it has been revitalized by contemporary artists who appreciate the tactile quality and authenticity it brings to their works. In an age dominated by digital media, letterpress prints stand out for their physicality and their unique presence in a space. Letterpress printing has its roots in the craftsmanship of the 15th century, revolutionized by Johannes Gutenberg's movable type. It remained the primary form of printing for centuries before digital processes took over. However, its influence persisted, and it has been embraced by modern artists looking to incorporate traditional techniques into their art. The resulting works are a fusion of old-world charm and contemporary design, offering a rich texture and depth that digital prints cannot replicate.

Letterpress in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork

Letterpress Print Fine Art has found a new canvas in street pop art and graffiti. Artists often use the technique to create posters, flyers, and art prints that resonate with the authenticity and grit of the urban environment. The embossed effect of letterpress lends a three-dimensional quality to prints, echoing the physicality of graffiti on walls. Bridging a historical process with contemporary themes and subjects gives the art a sense of permanence and substance. Letterpress is appreciated for its distinctive aesthetic, characterized by deep impressions, rich textures, and subtle ink variations on paper. Each print is unique, bearing the marks of the manual process that created it. The aesthetic appeal of letterpress lies in its imperfections – the occasional unevenness of ink, the imprint of the type on paper – all of which tell a creation story.

Cultural Significance and Collectibility

The cultural significance of letterpress prints in art has grown, with collectors and enthusiasts seeking out these pieces for their authenticity and handcrafted nature. Artists who choose letterpress are often seen as preserving a piece of history while making a statement against the ephemeral nature of digital art. These prints are not just artworks but artifacts that represent a dedication to the physical process of art-making. The letterpress community is marked by a spirit of collaboration and knowledge-sharing, with artists often working together to access the specialized equipment required for this printing method. Workshops and studios dedicated to letterpress have become centers for education and innovation, fostering a sense of community among those passionate about this traditional form of expression. Letterpress printing has secured its place in the modern art narrative through its incorporation into street pop art and graffiti artwork. As a bridge between the past and the present, it serves as a tactile reminder of the enduring nature of physical art in an increasingly digital world.
