    Shepard Fairey- OBEY Sadistic Dog Walker- Blue Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Sadistic Dog Walker- Blue 2-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Fine Speckletone Art Paper by Shepard Fairey Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist. 2021 Signed & Numbered Screen Print SADISTIC DOG WALKER (BLUE) 24 inches by 33 inches Edition of 450 November 15, 2021 I’ve made several images over the years addressing police brutality, and I think humor and absurdity help make such a heavy topic more digestible. There is a violent history of police dogs being used to attack civil rights protesters, which contrasts intensely with the blissful perspective of white dog owners who pamper their dogs and hire dog walkers. Some of us never have to think about how the police abuse their power more frequently in non-white and lower-income communities. This “Sadistic Dog Walker” image encourages us to be aware of the “two Americas.” – Shepard

    Anti-Graffiti Propaganda Case Study No.1 Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints on 310gsm Fine Art Paper by Roger Gastman Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. "This piece continues within the Tools of Criminal Mischief series of spray paint cans and markers prints that I've been doing with 1xRun. I have a large collection of anti-graffiti paraphernalia: pamphlets, signs, pins, tee shirts, etc. This image was revisited and fine-tuned in 2013 but it's taken years and years of collecting and digging along with close friends sending me stuff. I am always on the hunt for more. A few years ago, Caleb Neelon and I wrote a book for Harper Collins, "The History of American Graffiti" and the endsheet patterns for that book were a collage of the items on this print. Whenever I give someone the book or they see it somewhere, they love the end sheet patterns and want to know more about it and how I got all of the items. I decided to open the files back up and add some color and re-envision the design to create a collage of the anti-graffiti propaganda. " - Roger Gastman

Police & Cops Graffiti Street Pop Artwork

Authority in Art: Police Depictions in Street Pop Art and Graffiti

The imagery of police and law enforcement has been a significant and provocative subject within street pop art and graffiti. Artists often utilize the symbol of the police officer to discuss power structures, critique social issues, and express a range of emotions from respect to resistance within their work.

Authority Figures in Urban Art Narratives

In the narrative of urban art, the figure of the police officer often appears as a symbol of authority. Their depiction can vary greatly among artists and artworks. For some, police are portrayed as guardians, contributing to the safety and order of city life. For others, they become representations of state power and are depicted in ways that critique their role in societal control and surveillance.

Cultural Commentary Through Police Imagery

Street pop art and graffiti have long been mediums for cultural commentary, and the depiction of police within these forms is particularly charged. In this context, police can be portrayed heroically, satirically, or even villainously, depending on the artist’s message. The representation of police in urban art often reflects current events and societal tensions, making it a form of real-time historical documentation.

Graffiti and Street Art as Dialogue with Law Enforcement

The act of creating graffiti itself can be a point of contention with law enforcement, as it often falls in legal gray areas. This relationship adds a layer of complexity to the depiction of police in street pop art, where the very act of painting can be seen as an act of defiance against the authority that police represent. In many cases, artists use their work to engage in a visual dialogue about the role of policing, creating pieces that respond to the community's perceptions and interactions with law enforcement.

Pop Art's Influence on Police Portrayals

Pop art's influence extends into the portrayal of police, often using bold colors and recognizable iconography to draw attention to their presence within society. The use of pop art aesthetics can serve to amplify the impact of the artwork’s message, whether it is a critique or an endorsement of police and their role.

Police in Street Art: A Reflective Mirror

Street art often serves as a reflective mirror of society, and depictions of police within this art form can reveal much about a community's relationship with law enforcement. These artworks can evoke conversations, challenge perceptions, and sometimes even offer a space for healing and understanding between the public and police. In the evolving canvas of the urban landscape, depictions of police in street pop art and graffiti are a testament to the nuanced and sometimes contentious relationship between authority and expression. As street artists continue to engage with this theme, the portrayal of police in their work remains a powerful commentary on community, power, and the role of art in society.
