  • Fluxus Archival Print Print by Erik Otto

    Erik Otto Fluxus Archival Print Print by Erik Otto

    Fluxus Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints on 310gsm Fine Art Paper by Erik Otto Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. "This piece was one of 1 of 9 paintings I produced for my last show, DISTANCIA, that took place in an abandoned building in Mexico City at the start of this year. Every piece in the show had a similar second piece that was slightly altered to create a visual rhythm, but this painting was the one wild card piece that stood proudly on its own. For me, this piece was the one piece that summed what the entire show was about — breaking away from the structure to give way to a new perspective and flow while finding peace in the process." - Erik Otto

    Estevan Oriol Rascal In The '47 Fleetline PP Archival Print by Estevan Oriol

    Rascal In The '47 Fleetline PP Printer Proof Archival Print by Estevan Oriol Limited Edition Print on 290gsm Moab Entrada Fine Art Paper Pop Artist Modern Artwork. PP Printers Proof 2018 Signed & Marked PP Limited Edition Artwork Size 24x17 Archival Pigment Fine Art Unveiling Street Narratives in Art Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork are distinctive in contemporary visual culture, often blurring the lines between high art and everyday urban experience. The work "Rascal In The '47 Fleetline" by Estevan Oriol is a striking example of this genre, where the imagery is as potent in its aesthetic as in its cultural commentary. This particular piece is an Archival Print, a Printer's Proof (PP) from 2018, and it brings forth a raw and unfiltered look at street culture through the lens of modern art. Estevan Oriol's artwork captures the essence of the street in a manner that conveys authenticity and a gritty realness often absent in traditional art forms. The '47 Fleetline, an automobile that resonates with Chicano culture and the lowrider community, becomes a canvas for expressing identity, resilience, and pride. Oriol's subject, Rascal, is not merely a figure but a representation of a larger narrative that speaks to the experiences of those often marginalized in society. The intensity in Rascal's gaze and the sharp detail of the tattoos that adorn his skin tell a personal and collective story. Technique and Medium in Street Pop Art The technical aspects of Oriol's print are as notable as the subject matter. The choice of 290gsm Moab Entrada Fine Art Paper is deliberate, offering a weight and texture that gives depth to the black and white imagery. The archival pigment used in the print ensures longevity, allowing the piece to stand as a historical document of the era it represents. Oriol's signature and the print marking as a Printer's Proof signify its exclusivity and role as a collectible piece within the world of street pop art. Cultural Resonance of Graffiti Artwork While not graffiti in the traditional sense, Oriol's work holds a similar energy and impact. The term 'Graffiti Artwork' often conjures images of spray-painted walls and tagging, yet it has evolved to encompass a broader spectrum of visual street expressions. With its careful composition and stark contrasts, Oriol's print communicates graffiti's defiance and boldness. It is a fixed moment of street culture, elevated to art, yet unremoved from the asphalt and concrete that form its backdrop. The intersection of street culture with the art world, as seen in Oriol's "Rascal In The '47 Fleetline," is a testament to the evolving perceptions of what constitutes fine art. This limited edition piece is not just a representation of a moment or an individual but a profound commentary on the society from which it emerges. It captures the spirit of street pop art and graffiti artwork, making a statement that is felt as much as it is seen.

Mexico
Graffiti and street art have been forms of visual expression for decades, allowing individuals to convey their messages and ideas through public spaces. One of the most prominent themes in graffiti art and street art is cultural influence, and Mexico has been a significant contributor to this movement. The rich history, vibrant culture, and influential people of Mexico have inspired artists around the world to create works that pay homage to this country's unique and captivating qualities. Mexico has a long history of art, dating back to the pre-Columbian era, with many famous artists emerging from the country in modern times, including Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, and David Alfaro Siqueiros. This rich artistic heritage has provided an abundant source of inspiration for graffiti artists and street artists around the world, who have drawn from Mexico's art and culture to create new and exciting works of their own. One of the most common ways that Mexico has influenced graffiti art and street art is through the use of traditional Mexican symbols and motifs. The country's indigenous culture is full of symbols that carry deep meaning, such as the Aztec calendar, the Mayan glyph system, and the iconic images of La Catrina, the skull-faced woman often associated with the Day of the Dead. These symbols have been incorporated into countless graffiti murals and street art pieces around the world, allowing artists to connect with Mexican culture and share its powerful imagery with a wider audience. Beyond traditional symbols, Mexican history and culture have also inspired many graffiti artists and street artists to explore themes of social justice and political activism. The country has a complex history of colonization and revolution, with many struggles for equality and human rights still ongoing today. Graffiti and street art have been powerful tools for expressing these struggles and raising awareness of important issues. For example, many artists have used murals and graffiti art to protest against police brutality and political corruption, often incorporating the images of famous Mexican activists and revolutionaries, such as Emiliano Zapata and Pancho Villa. Mexico's rich street culture and music scene have also influenced the graffiti art and street art world. Mexico City, in particular, has a thriving street art scene, with countless murals and graffiti works adorning the city's walls and buildings. This vibrant and diverse culture has inspired many artists around the world, who have drawn on Mexican street art and music to create their own unique works. For example, the iconic Mexican street artist Sego has become internationally renowned for his bold and colorful murals, which often incorporate traditional Mexican imagery and themes. In recent years, Mexico has also emerged as a hub for contemporary street art and graffiti. The country's capital city, Mexico City, has hosted several high-profile street art festivals, including the All City Canvas festival and the Mural Festival, which attract top international artists to showcase their work. These events have helped to elevate the status of Mexican street art and graffiti, positioning the country as a leading force in the global street art scene. In conclusion, Mexico's influence on graffiti art and street art is far-reaching and multifaceted. From traditional symbols and cultural motifs to themes of social justice and political activism, Mexico has inspired artists around the world to create works that pay homage to its rich history and vibrant culture. As the country continues to embrace its role as a hub for contemporary street art and graffiti, we can expect to see even more exciting and innovative works emerge from this dynamic and creative community.
