    LushSux Train 34 HO Graffiti Train Art Toy Sculpture by LushSux

    Train 34 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. The Fusion of Model Trains and Street Art in LushSux's "Train 34" In the eclectic domain of street pop art and graffiti artwork, "Train 34" stands out as a testament to LushSux's innovative approach to the genre. This piece, a marriage of a classic HO scale model train box-car with the raw vibrancy of graffiti art, showcases the artist's signature style. Created in 2014, the original acrylic work is not confined to a traditional canvas; it explores form and space, blurring the lines between sculpture and painting. LushSux, an artist from Australia, is known for his often controversial and boundary-pushing works in public spaces. However, in "Train 34," he redirects his creative expression to the controlled confines of a model train, an object often associated with precision and collectibility, now transformed into a moving canvas that conveys the rebellious spirit of street art. LushSux: Bringing Graffiti into Unconventional Spaces LushSux's decision to tag a model train car symbolizes the ingenuity inherent in street art culture. LushSux challenges the expectations of where street art can exist and what it can adorn by choosing an HO-scale train, a beloved item among model train enthusiasts. The work features a graffiti tag or throw-up painting, a style characterized by quick execution and often used by graffiti artists to mark territory. Yet, when applied to a model train, the artwork transcends territorial claims and enters the realm of collectible art. The size of the piece, 14x3, is modest, yet it commands attention with its bright colors and bold design, echoing the larger-than-life presence of LushSux's full-scale works. Significance of "Train 34" in Contemporary Art Collectibles "Train 34" represents a convergence of subculture and hobbyist culture, reflecting the increasing acceptance and celebration of graffiti art within mainstream collectibles. This piece, hand-painted and signed by LushSux, is a one-off creation that captures the essence of street pop art—transient by nature yet immortalized through the permanence of model craftsmanship. The work's unique blend of a traditional pastime with the urban art form makes it a standout addition to the oeuvre of LushSux, whose reputation as both a male model and self-described "international graffiti asshole" underscores his multifaceted identity as an artist. Through works like "Train 34," LushSux continues to push the boundaries of street art, inviting us to reconsider the contexts in which art can be appreciated and challenging the preconceived notions of what constitutes a canvas.

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.
