    Ben Frost Super K Mario Blotter Paper Archival Print by Ben Frost

    Super K Mario Blotter Paper Archival Print by Ben Frost Limited Edition Fine Art Archival Pigment Print Art on Perforated Blotter Paper. 2023 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 100 Archival Pigment Print on Perforated Blotter Paper Size: 7.5 x 7.5 Inches Release: April 19, 2023 Super Mario Special K Video Game Limited blotter editions are hand-perforated by Zane Kesey. "Super K Mario Blotter Paper" is a provocative work of art by Ben Frost, a notable figure for juxtaposing pop art iconography with subversive contexts. This limited edition archival pigment print, released on April 19, 2023, swiftly stands out in pop, street, and graffiti art, stirring dialogue about culture and consumerism. Limited to 100, each piece is meticulously signed and numbered, affirming its uniqueness and collectible status. Frost's creation is a dynamic 7.5 x 7.5 inches print crafted on perforated blotter paper, which traditionally is associated with the distribution of LSD, a usage that the artwork cleverly alludes to without endorsing. The piece showcases the famed video game character Super Mario, depicted in vibrant colors, entwined with the word "KETAMINE" and associated pharmaceutical verbiage. This visual blend delivers a potent statement on the recreational drug culture while playing with the commercialization of beloved childhood figures. The 'Super Mario Special K' title fuses the name of the iconic Nintendo character with a slang term for ketamine, further pushing the boundaries of artistic expression and social commentary. Each blotter is hand-perforated by Zane Kesey, lending an element of handcrafted authenticity to the work and providing a tactile connection to the counterculture Kesey's father, Ken Kesey, was a part of. This process not only exemplifies the artist's attention to detail but also embeds each piece with a sense of personal touch and historical reverence. Ben Frost's art is not for the faint of heart; it confronts the viewer with nostalgia and shock, prompting a re-examination of the icons that populate our collective consciousness. The "Super K Mario Blotter Paper" is a testament to his ability to subvert mainstream symbols and present them back to society with a fresh, if not jarring, perspective. Collectors and admirers of this limited edition work receive more than a piece of art; they acquire a statement, a conversation starter, and a bold critique of the intersections between pop culture, art, and the pharmaceutical industry.

  • Obey Wario, Destroy Mario Silkscreen Print by Nate Duval

    Nate Duval Obey Wario, Destroy Mario Silkscreen Print by Nate Duval

    Obey Wario, Destroy Mario 1-Color Silkscreen Print on Fine Art Paper by Pop Artist Nate Duval Limited Edition Artwork. 2012 Signed Limited Edition of 50 Artwork Size 18x18 Subversion in Pop Art Nate Duval's "Obey Wario, Destroy Mario" is a compelling silkscreen print that embodies the rebellious and satirical undertones of street pop art and graffiti artwork. This 2012 signed limited edition of 50, each measuring 18x18 inches, portrays the iconic antihero Wario in a style reminiscent of Shepard Fairey's "Obey" campaign, cleverly subverting mainstream pop culture and video game iconography. In "Obey Wario, Destroy Mario," Duval takes a familiar character from the beloved Mario franchise and flips the script, presenting Wario as a character in a game and as a symbol of counter-culture resistance. By appropriating the visual language of Fairey's work, which is itself a comment on propaganda and control, Duval challenges the viewer's perception of villains and heroes, suggesting a more complex narrative behind these characters. This piece is a vibrant example of how pop art continually evolves, drawing from diverse elements of culture to create new meanings and dialogues. Technique and Limited Edition Value The one-color silkscreen technique used by Duval in this artwork is a nod to the DIY ethos of street art, where simplicity and message converge to make a powerful statement. The stark black-and-white design accentuates Wario's mischievous persona, encapsulating the essence of graffiti's bold and direct approach to communication. The limited edition status of "Obey Wario, Destroy Mario" elevates its desirability. It offers an exclusive piece of Duval's thought-provoking art that is as much a collectible as a conversation starter. In contemporary art, "Obey Wario, Destroy Mario" by Nate Duval is a prime example of the intersection between the playful and the profound that characterizes Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork. It is a testament to the power of visual art to reinterpret and critique cultural narratives, using the canvas as a battleground for ideas and ideologies. Duval's work continues to inspire and challenge, cementing his place as a significant voice in the narrative of modern pop and street art.

PP Printers Proof 2014 Signed 11x14 Archival Pigment Print Showing A Astronaut Looking At A European Castle Standing On A Mario Pipe From Video Game In the dynamic realm of modern pop art, there is an intriguing intersection of popular culture elements with contemporary artistic techniques. The "Castle- PP Archival Pigment Print" is an exemplar of this fusion, created by the acclaimed pop culture artist, Scott Listfield. Produced in 2014, this limited edition artwork, printed on fine art paper, stands as a testament to Listfield’s unique vision and creativity. Drawing from the visual vocabulary of both video game lore and historical architecture, the print showcases an astronaut, emblematic of humanity's constant yearning for exploration, gazing upon a European castle. However, what makes the image even more compelling is the placement of the astronaut: atop a Mario Pipe, a nod to one of the most iconic video games of all time. The choice of the archival pigment as the medium is particularly striking. It ensures longevity and captures the nuances of Listfield’s meticulous detailing. These prints are not just art pieces; they are historical records that carry forward the essence of the pop culture zeitgeist of their time. The artist's signature and the "PP Printers Proof" mark further authenticate the print, giving it an elevated stature in the realm of collectibles. By juxtaposing the age-old grandeur of a European castle with a contemporary astronaut figure and an element from a video game, Listfield effectively bridges epochs, challenging our perceptions and evoking deeper reflections on time, culture, and the continuum of human history within the expansive umbrella of pop, street, and graffiti art.

Mario Brothers Graffiti Street Pop Artworks

Pixelated Plumbers: The Mario Brothers' Impact on Street Art

The Mario Brothers, protagonists of the world-renowned Nintendo franchise, have transcended the realm of video games to become cultural icons within the art world. The unmistakable figures of Mario and Luigi, with their bright red and green attire and signature mustaches, have been a constant source of inspiration for artists delving into the realms of pop culture. Their influence is palpable within the energetic and often rebellious spirit of street pop art and graffiti artwork, where they have been reimagined and repurposed to fit the narrative of modern urban expressionism. Within street art, the Mario Brothers serve not only as nostalgic callbacks to the golden age of gaming but also as symbols of adventure, exploration, and overcoming challenges. The colorful, dynamic worlds of the Mario games provide a rich palette for artists who bring these characters to life on city walls and public spaces. These characters resonate with audiences who have grown up with the franchise and introduce the whimsical charm of the Mushroom Kingdom to newer generations who encounter them in an entirely different context.

From Game Consoles to Concrete Canvases

The journey of the Mario Brothers from the digital confines of game consoles to the expansive canvases of city streets reflects their ubiquity and the universal language of gaming culture. Street artists often use Mario and Luigi's imagery to engage with themes of heroism, escapism, and the dichotomy between reality and fantasy. Painting these characters in the urban landscape is a form of reclaiming public space, transforming ordinary environments into extraordinary scenes that echo the vibrant and unbelievable levels of the games. The adaptability of the Mario Brothers within street pop art is evident in the diverse ways they are depicted. From large-scale murals that capture the vibrancy of the games to subtler works that integrate the plumbers into the existing textures of the urban environment, these characters have become synonymous with the playfulness and creativity inherent in street art. The use of Mario and Luigi in graffiti artwork also speaks to the collaborative nature of street art, much like the cooperative gameplay that the brothers are known for.

The Legacy of Mario in Pop and Graffiti Art

The enduring legacy of the Mario Brothers in pop culture is cemented by their constant presence in street pop art and graffiti artwork as ambassadors of one of the most successful gaming franchises. Mario and Luigi represent a bridge between the early days of gaming and contemporary digital culture. Their status as pop culture icons is reinforced by their repeated appearances in street art, which often serves as a barometer for what is current and influential in popular media. Street artists, through their depictions of the Mario Brothers, contribute to the narrative of these characters, offering new interpretations and commentaries on the franchise. Whether it is a portrayal of Mario as a graffiti artist himself or Luigi as a silent observer of the city's narrative, these interpretations add depth to the characters beyond their pixelated origins. Incorporating elements from the Mario games into street art also reflects the dialogues within the art world regarding the place of video game aesthetics in modern art. The Mario Brothers, in their various artistic renditions, continue to engage with audiences worldwide. Their leap from the TV screen to the walls of the metropolis is a testament to their pervasive appeal and the fluidity of art forms in the digital age. As street art continues to evolve, the presence of Mario and Luigi within this sphere is a powerful reminder of the interconnectivity between different cultural expressions and the shared experiences that unite fans of gaming and art alike.
