    War By Numbers VSE- OG Colorway Variable Stencil Edition Acrylic Artwork on Hand Deckled Fine Art Paper by Street Artists Shepard Fairey x Ernesto Yerena Montejano x Hecho Con Ganas x Obey. 2022 War By Numbers VSE- OG Colorway 20x26.5 inches. Signed & Numbered Ultra Rare Edition of 14. Variable Stencil Edition (VSE) on Paper. Signed by Shepard Fairey, Hecho Con Ganas publishing chop in the lower-left corner. "Created during the Iraq war, but the quest for peace requires perpetual vigilance, and the current invasion of Ukraine is a reminder of the brutality of war. The “War By Numbers” image is a statement about not becoming desensitized by war to the extent that it becomes as banal as a paint-by-numbers image. The “Peace Elephant” is an appeal to our sense of Karma and harmony with the world around us." - Shepard Fairey A profound intersection of artistry and activism emerges in "War By Numbers VSE- OG Colorway," an emblematic piece presented by the collaborative brilliance of Shepard Fairey, Ernesto Yerena Montejano, Hecho Con Ganas, and Obey. Showcased on meticulously hand-deckled fine art paper, this 20x26.5 inch artwork not only exemplifies the prowess of its creators but also delves deeply into the social and political fabric of contemporary global scenarios. Dated 2022, this piece holds the distinction of being an ultra-rare Variable Stencil Edition (VSE) on paper, with only 14 such editions in existence, each one thoughtfully signed and numbered. Notably, the presence of the Hecho Con Ganas publishing chop in the lower-left corner augments its authenticity and intrinsic value. While the artwork itself is a marvel of color interplay and design, its underlying message is both timeless and urgent. Shepard Fairey's own words elucidate the motivation behind its creation, highlighting its inception during the Iraq war. Yet, its resonance extends beyond that particular conflict. The piece emerges as an enduring reminder of the costs of warfare, particularly with the poignant backdrop of the recent Ukraine invasion. Fairey astutely draws attention to the dangers of becoming inured to the horrors of conflict, suggesting that society must never allow war's devastation to become as commonplace and mundane as a paint-by-numbers image. This sentiment is further emphasized by the inclusion of the "Peace Elephant," symbolizing the universal aspiration for harmony and an appeal to humanity's collective conscience. In the vast realm of pop art, street art, and graffiti, "War By Numbers" stands as a testament to art's ability to transcend aesthetic appeal, challenging viewers to confront and engage with the world's most pressing issues.

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.
