    Anubis Afterlife 4-Color Hand-Pulled Diamond Dust Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Egyptian Papyrus Paper by Marwan Shahin Street Art Pop Artwork Artist. 2022 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 30 Size 14x17.5 "Shahin Studios is delighted to present ANUBIS AFTERLIFE by Marwan Shahin; this is the conclusion of months of experimenting with different stains to age the Papyrus paper. The new edition of the artwork is interpreted with hand-pulled four color Silkscreen print on Soy-Stained Authentic Egyptian Papyrus, and each print intricately arranged with a lattice of black Diamond Dust, to produce visually intoxicating kaleidoscope-like effects." -Marwan Shahin. The Creative Odyssey of Marwan Shahin's "Anubis Afterlife" "Anubis Afterlife," a mesmerizing creation by Marwan Shahin, represents a striking convergence of ancient tradition and contemporary artistic practice. As a street pop artwork, this limited edition silkscreen print on Egyptian papyrus paper encapsulates the spirit of modern pop art while paying homage to the rich iconography of ancient Egypt. The use of authentic papyrus as a medium is a salute to the time-honored methods of artistic expression, further enhanced by Shahin’s innovative aging techniques that lend the work an air of antiquity. Artistic Alchemy on Papyrus Shahin, an Egyptian street art pop artwork artist, embarked on a meticulous process of experimentation to perfect the aging of the papyrus, aiming to achieve a soy-stain effect that imbues the paper with an ethereal quality reminiscent of historical artifacts. The artwork, a limited edition of 30 and 14x17.5 inches, features the god Anubis, the ancient Egyptian deity associated with mummification and the afterlife. This figure is intricately detailed with four hand-pulled silkscreen layers, culminating in a visually arresting and richly symbolic composition. The incorporation of black diamond dust in the artwork adds a tactile dimension that catches the light, creating kaleidoscopic effects that enhance the mystical aura of the piece. Diamond dust, a material once popularized by Andy Warhol, reflects Shahin's ingenuity in combining traditional screen-printing techniques with the luxurious embellishments in pop art. The resulting work is an homage to Shahin's homeland's cultural heritage, street art's vibrant energy, and the glossy sheen of pop art. Marwan Shahin's Visual Fusion of Past and Present "Anubis Afterlife" is a testament to Marwan Shahin's creative vision, where Egyptian art's rich legacy intersects with street pop art's bold immediacy. Through the figure of Anubis, Shahin bridges millennia, conversing with the symbols of ancient mythology while engaging with the aesthetics of the present. The choice of Anubis, a deity symbolizing the passage to the afterlife, suggests exploring themes such as transition, transformation, and the eternal cycle of life and death. This piece's introduction of street pop art into the pantheon of Egyptian motifs presents a unique narrative layer. In much the same way street art often appropriates and recontextualizes images and symbols from mainstream culture, Shahin reclaims an icon from his cultural history, reinterpreting it through a modern lens. This reimagining places "Anubis Afterlife" within the lineage of pop art that challenges and redefines the boundaries between high and low culture. A Tapestry of Time Woven by Marwan Shahin Marwan Shahin's "Anubis Afterlife" is a luminous example of how contemporary artists can delve into the wellspring of their heritage while contributing to the global convert conversation, underscores the potential of street pop art and graffiti to serve as a platform for cultural storytelling and artistic innovation.

In pop art and street art, Shahin's work exemplifies how traditional elements can be re-envisioned to resonate with new audiences. His intricate layering of colors and materials transcends mere reproduction, offering an immersive experience that reflects the past and is a beacon for the future of artistic expression. "Anubis Afterlife," with its textured narrative and visual splendor, is a fine art collectible and a piece that captures the dynamic spirit of street art, embodying the pulse of a culture that reverberates through time.

    Alien Hidden Glow in the Dark Papyrus Hand-Pulled Diamond Dust Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Egyptian Papyrus Paper by Marwan Shahin Rare Street Art Famous Pop Artwork Artist. 2022 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 25 Size 14x17 Alien Pharaoh on Papyrus Silkscreen That Glows in the Dark in Egyptian African Gold Style Delving into the mystique of street art, one encounters a realm where the grit and glamour of everyday life find an elevated, often incandescent expression. The work of Marwan Shahin stands as an example of this interplay between the real and surreal, and is particularly embodied in the 2023 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition "Alien Hidden Glow in the Dark Papyrus Hand-Pulled Diamond Dust Silkscreen Print." This unique piece of art amalgamates the mysticism of ancient Egypt with an offbeat contemporary perspective, showcasing a dynamic dialogue between past and present, tradition and rebellion, and thus cementing Shahin's position as a prominent figure in pop and street art. The ingenuity of the piece is defined by its striking aesthetics, which take root in its unique physical components. Shahin, a celebrated Egyptian artist, hand-pulls this diamond dust silkscreen print on authentic Egyptian papyrus paper. This choice of material not only pays homage to Shahin's heritage, but also infuses the artwork with a sense of timelessness. The papyrus, resonating with history and authenticity, serves as a canvas for a limited edition series, each piece signed and numbered, asserting its exclusivity and rarity. Drawing upon the aesthetic of African Gold style, the print features an Alien Pharaoh - a potent symbol that intertwines the sacred and profane, the terrestrial and extraterrestrial. This whimsical take on the iconic Pharaoh, a recurring motif in Shahin's work, is further heightened by an unexpected feature - the figure glows in the dark. This quality propels the artwork from the realm of the visually intriguing to the experientially engaging, enabling the artwork to transition and transform according to the play of light and darkness, adding another layer of intrigue and profundity to the piece. True to his reputation as a street artist, Shahin's choice to incorporate glow-in-the-dark elements captures the raw energy of graffiti and street art. These disciplines often thrive in the obscurity of the night, their messages illuminated under the cover of darkness. With this piece, the viewer can experience that same thrill, as the Alien Pharaoh comes alive in darkness, its golden aura casting an ethereal glow that compels one to reconsider what is known and what is yet to be discovered. Limited to only 25 editions, the 14x17 "Alien Hidden Glow in the Dark Papyrus Hand-Pulled Diamond Dust Silkscreen Print" stands as an opulent testament to Shahin's skill, vision, and distinctive artistic voice. It is an amalgamation of art and alchemy, a product of Shahin's explorations of both visual and material textures. The artwork's diamond dust finish not only adds a literal and figurative sparkle, but also enhances the tactile experience of the artwork, enticing the viewer to engage with it beyond mere observation. All these elements come together to create a unique visual journey that reflects Marwan Shahin's talent, vision, and innovative approach to pop and street art. His work speaks volumes about the power of art to transcend time and space, to blend the ordinary with the extraordinary, and to illuminate the darkness with the glow of creativity.

Prince & King
The fusion of popular culture and traditional artistry has given birth to a myriad of genres, each bearing its unique characteristics and quirks. Pop art, street art, and graffiti art are such creative amalgamations, often reflecting the zeitgeist of the time in a visually engaging manner. An intriguing theme that threads through these genres is the repeated use of royal titles such as "Prince" and "King." This motif serves as a potent symbol in the artistic expression, functioning as a critique, an homage, or a bold assertion of self-identity, depending on the artist's intent and context. The notion of "Prince" and "King" within pop art traces its roots to the subversive works of 1960s artists like Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. These pioneers sought to democratize art by incorporating everyday objects, celebrities, and comic strips into their creations, thereby blurring the lines between 'high' and 'low' culture. Andy Warhol, for instance, famously created portraits of Elvis Presley, the 'King' of Rock 'n' Roll, and Michael Jackson, the 'Prince' of Pop. These pieces not only celebrated these iconic figures but also questioned the societal constructs around fame and idolization. Warhol's work, in particular, emphasized the dichotomy between the public persona and the private individual, a theme that resonates in the portrayal of 'princely' and 'kingly' figures in pop art. In the realm of street art, the titles of "Prince" and "King" hold a significant place, often serving to declare an artist's prominence or mastery over a certain domain. Born from the heart of urban life, street art is a democratic form of expression that thrives on competition and the assertion of selfhood. Here, artists mark their territories, fight for visibility, and establish their legacies. A striking example is the New York City graffiti artist Dondi, widely regarded as the 'Style Master General' or the 'King' of graffiti for his unparalleled typographic skills and stylistic innovations. His moniker held a sense of respect and power within the community, signifying his status as an influential figure. Street art's inherently subversive nature also allows it to serve as a potent tool for socio-political commentary. Banksy, the enigmatic British street artist, has leveraged this to deliver powerful messages about power, authority, and the monarchy. His 2011 piece 'Slave Labour,' depicting a young boy hunched over a sewing machine producing Union Jack bunting, created a stir by critiquing the commercialization around Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee and the royal wedding. This work exemplifies how the theme of 'princes' and 'kings' can be harnessed to offer a scathing critique of societal structures and events. Graffiti art, with its roots in the turbulent socio-political landscape of the 1970s and 1980s, often uses the "Prince" and "King" motif as a form of rebellion and a claim to authority within a marginalized community. Here, 'King' often refers to an accomplished artist who has gained respect and recognition within the graffiti community. A graffiti 'King' might display their prowess through 'tags,' stylized signatures, on numerous city surfaces, or through complex works ('pieces') that showcase their artistic skill. The 'Prince,' in contrast, could refer to an up-and-coming artist, much like a prince is a king-in-waiting. In essence, the recurring motif of 'Prince' and 'King' in pop art, street art, and graffiti art encapsulates a multitude of meanings, ranging from idolization and self-assertion to social critique. It is a testament to the versatility and depth of these genres that a single motif can convey such a range of messages, each resonating differently depending on the artist's intent and the viewer's perspective. The 'Prince' and 'King' motif also speaks to the evolving nature of these art forms. 'Prince' and 'King' motif in pop art, street art, and graffiti art offers a fascinating lens to explore these dynamic and ever-evolving genres. From the iconic works of pop art masters to the rebellious creations of street and graffiti artists, this motif continues to evolve, reflecting the changing cultural, social, and political landscapes. As we move forward, it will be interesting to see how artists continue to reinterpret and reinvent these royal titles, imbuing them with new meanings and perspectives.
