    Train 39 Original Acrylic on HO Scale Model Train Box-Car Sculpture Artwork by graffiti street artist modern pop artist LushSux. 2014 Signed Original Graffiti Tag/Throw Up Painting on HO Model Train Car Artwork Size 14x3. Lush is a male model and sometimes an international graffiti asshole.  "Train 39" by LushSux: A Model of Street Art Innovation "Train 39" is a captivating work by the contemporary street and pop artist LushSux, who has carved a unique niche in the urban art scene. This original piece, created in 2014, is a prime example of how LushSux transposes the essence of graffiti onto an HO-scale model train box-car, measuring a mere 14x3 inches. Through this work, LushSux continues challenging the conventional perceptions of graffiti by taking the once exclusively urban art form into new and unexpected domains. The signature of LushSux not only authenticates the piece but also denotes his dual identity as both a street artist and a self-proclaimed "international graffiti asshole," a testament to his tongue-in-cheek approach to his public persona. Exploring the Dichotomy of "Train 39" In "Train 39," LushSux juxtaposes the orderly world of model train collecting with graffiti art's often chaotic and free-spirited nature. The artwork features a vibrant tag or "throw-up," characterized by its bubbly letters and bold, outlined edges—a hallmark of LushSux's style. The interplay of colors and the strategic placement of the tag disrupt the traditional aesthetics of the model train, infusing it with a contemporary edge that is both striking and thought-provoking. This piece exemplifies how street pop art can extend beyond the walls of city buildings and into the more intimate spaces of personal collections, retaining its power to engage and challenge viewers. The Cultural Resonance of LushSux's "Train 39" The creation of "Train 39" and its subsequent release into the art market underscores the evolving nature of street pop art as a cultural expression. The piece reflects a broader trend in contemporary art, where the lines between high art and subcultural expressions continue to blur. LushSux's work on this model train encapsulated a moment in the street art movement when artists began seeking new frontiers and mediums. As a collectible, "Train 39" represents the intersection of various enthusiast communities, from graffiti aficionados to model train collectors, showcasing the universal appeal of LushSux's artistry. Through his innovative use of unconventional canvases, LushSux expands the reach of graffiti artwork, ensuring its presence is felt across diverse cultural landscapes.

Model Train
Model trains, while often seen as collectible items or nostalgic toys, have also emerged as a medium in pop art, street art, and graffiti artwork. Their intricate designs and historical accuracy make them a canvas for artists to express miniature narratives of both fantasy and reality.

Model Trains in the Landscape of Pop Art

In pop art, model trains have been repurposed from their traditional roles to serve as dynamic objects that comment on consumer culture, technology, and movement. Artists have transformed these meticulously crafted pieces into vibrant sculptures and installations that speak to the pop art fascination with commercial goods and childhood whimsy.

Street Art on a Micro Scale

Street artists have customized model trains to reflect the full-sized graffiti-covered cars seen in urban environments. These miniaturized versions offer a novel perspective on the street art form, allowing for intricate detail and a controlled environment in which to explore the artistry of graffiti. The practice has become a subculture in the broader street art community, where the tiny trains serve as a testament to the artists' skills and creativity.

Graffiti Art's Small-Scale Experimentation

Model trains also provide a legal and transportable medium for graffiti artists to experiment with styles, color schemes, and lettering. The small scale of these models presents unique challenges and opportunities, encouraging artists to adapt their techniques to fit the miniature surfaces. These miniature works often become highly collectible pieces that capture the spirit of graffiti in a form that can be appreciated up close and personal. The integration of model trains into street pop art and graffiti artwork showcases the versatility and adaptability of these art forms. It reflects a broader trend within the arts, where boundaries are continuously pushed, and new mediums are embraced to expand the conversation about what constitutes art in the modern world. Model trains, once confined to hobby shops and basements, now ride the rails of innovation as they are reimagined through the lens of contemporary art.
