    Prefab77 Happiness Is Expensive Grey Pink HPM Silkscreen Print by Prefab77

    Happiness Is Expensive- Grey & Pink Limited Edition Hand-Embellished 6-Color Screen Prints on 300gsm Fabrino Rosapina Paper by Prefab77 Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. "Happiness is Expensive is part of a theme we are developing, keeping our hard, fast-edged style and mixing with portraiture. We want to explore the iconography and the power of the female form in traditional art, music, and fashion. Throughout the ages, portraits are used to reflect the subject but also the time period that the subject inhabits, with secret messages, religious affiliations, and iconography woven into the piece. We want to take this forward and use the main figurative element to reflect these messages into a powerful piece. We want to bridge the gap between street art and traditional art by using a mixture of Acrylic, Spraypaint, stencils, wheat pastes and various screen print inks in our work layering these into luxurious prints and originals." - Prefab77 "Happiness Is Expensive - Grey & Pink" is a captivating limited edition screen print by Prefab77, a renowned artist in graffiti street art and modern pop art. This hand-embellished artwork, rendered on 300gsm Fabriano Rosapina paper, is a testament to Prefab77's commitment to melding the raw energy of street art with the finesse of traditional portraiture. The piece showcases a complex interplay of six-color screen prints, each layer meticulously applied to construct a composite rich in texture and depth. Prefab77's intention to reflect the iconography and power of the female form is realized through the central figure. This portrayal channels the essence of femininity as observed in historical art, music, and fashion. The artwork serves as a contemporary canvas where the past and present converge, with the female subject embodying not just her narrative but also the zeitgeist of our era. Through "Happiness Is Expensive - Grey & Pink," Prefab77 delves into the tradition of portraiture, reimagining it with a modern twist. The work is interwoven with subtle motifs and symbols that echo religious and societal affiliations, similar to the hidden messages found in classic art. Yet, the artist propels these elements into the present, infusing the piece with the techniques of street art such as acrylics, spray paint, stencils, and wheat paste. This particular artwork explores luxury within prints and original creations, blurring the lines between accessible street art and the exclusivity of fine art. The limited edition nature of "Happiness Is Expensive - Grey & Pink," marked by the artist's hand, adds to its desirability and value, making it a cherished piece for collectors and enthusiasts of street pop art and graffiti artwork.

Luxury
Luxury is a term that has been associated with wealth, excess, and indulgence. It is often depicted in the form of high-end brands, expensive jewelry, luxurious cars, and lavish lifestyles. Graffiti art and pop art have both explored the concept of luxury in their own unique ways, using the medium of art to comment on society's fascination with wealth and excess. Graffiti art is a form of street art that involves the use of spray paint, stencils, and markers to create bold, colorful images on public surfaces such as walls, buildings, and bridges. Graffiti artists often use their art to make political statements, express their personal beliefs, or simply to beautify the urban environment. However, luxury is also a common theme in graffiti art, as many artists use the medium to comment on the wealth gap and consumerism. One example of luxury in graffiti art is the work of Banksy, a renowned street artist known for his politically charged and socially conscious art. In his piece "Kissing Coppers," Banksy depicts two police officers engaged in a romantic kiss, with their helmets masking their identities. The artwork was created in Brighton, UK, in 2004 and has since become an iconic symbol of rebellion against authority. Another example of luxury in graffiti art is the work of Mr. Brainwash, a French street artist and filmmaker. His art often incorporates images of celebrities and luxury brands, such as Chanel and Louis Vuitton, to comment on the excess and consumerism of modern society. In one of his pieces, "Life is Beautiful," Mr. Brainwash created a mixed media collage featuring Marilyn Monroe holding a Chanel handbag. Pop art is a form of art that emerged in the 1950s and 60s, characterized by its use of popular culture and everyday objects as subject matter. Pop artists often appropriated images from mass media, advertising, and consumer culture to create works that challenged traditional notions of high art. Luxury was a common theme in pop art, as many artists used the medium to comment on the commercialization of art and the rise of consumerism. One of the most famous pop art pieces is Andy Warhol's "Campbell's Soup Cans," which consists of 32 individual canvases, each featuring a different flavor of Campbell's Soup. The artwork was created in 1962 and has since become an iconic symbol of pop art and consumer culture. Another example of luxury in pop art is the work of Jeff Koons, an American artist known for his sculptures and installations featuring everyday objects such as balloon animals and vacuum cleaners. In his series "Luxury and Degradation," Koons created sculptures of luxury goods such as liquor bottles and cigarettes, commenting on the glamorization of harmful behaviors and the marketing of addiction. Luxury has been a common theme in both graffiti art and pop art, as artists use their medium to comment on the excess and consumerism of modern society. Whether it is through the use of luxury brands, celebrities, or everyday objects, artists have found ways to critique and challenge the notion of wealth and excess through their art. Both graffiti art and pop art continue to inspire and challenge artists today, as they seek to use their art to make a statement about the world around them.
