What Goes Up Original Spray Paint Acrylic Painting by Meggs One of a Kind Artwork on Canvas with Custom Reclaimed Wood Frame by Street Art Pop Artist. 2014 Signed Acrylic & Spray Paint Painting Original Canvas in Artist Hand Made Reclaimed Wood Frame Artwork Size 49x49. From Spoiled Rotten Show. Exploring the Dynamic Essence of Meggs' "What Goes Up" "What Goes Up" is an original acrylic and spray paint painting by the acclaimed street pop artist Meggs that encapsulates the dynamism and energy of his work. Created in 2014, this artwork reflects Meggs' signature style, which harmoniously blends street art's rawness with pop art's vividness. This one-of-a-kind artwork is a statement piece and a storytelling canvas that explores themes prevalent in Meggs' oeuvre, such as the constant struggle between opposing forces and the transient nature of success and failure. The painting measures 46x46 inches and is housed in a custom reclaimed wood frame handcrafted by the artist. Reclaimed wood adds an eco-conscious dimension to the artwork, reinforcing Meggs' interest in sustainability and the repurposing of materials. This choice of framing also accentuates the urban and gritty feel of the painting, resonating with the street art tradition of using found objects and spaces. Artistic Techniques and Visual Impact in "What Goes Up" Meggs employs acrylic and spray paint in "What Goes Up," showcasing his adeptness at using traditional and non-traditional media. The acrylic provides depth and texture, while the spray paint offers a sense of immediacy and spontaneity intrinsic to graffiti artwork. The painting is a cacophony of colors, bursting forth from a central point, suggesting an explosion of energy and creativity. The colors are not just randomly splashed across the canvas; they are meticulously layered to create a visual impact that is both chaotic and controlled. The artwork features a skull motif, a recurring element in Meggs' art, which often symbolizes the transient nature of human existence and the cyclical nature of life. However, in "What Goes Up," the skull is juxtaposed with vibrant colors and comic-style exclamations, which could be interpreted as a commentary on the superficiality of popular culture and the fleeting nature of fame and success. The skull seems to be disintegrating or exploding into an array of colors and shapes, a powerful visual metaphor for the inevitable downfall that follows a rise to the top. Cultural Commentary and the Essence of Street Pop Art The painting's title, "What Goes Up," hints at the adage "what goes up must come down," suggesting a narrative of ascent and descent. Meggs often infuses his Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork with philosophical musings and critical observations of society. The work symbolizes the cyclical patterns of life and can be seen as a reflection of the transient nature of success or the hubris that often precedes a fall. The artist's use of text in the painting, rendered in a comic book style, adds a layer of communication with the viewer, inviting them to ponder the deeper meanings behind the vibrant facade. The piece is a testament to the artist's ability to navigate the space between gallery and street art, making it accessible to a diverse audience. The inclusivity of street art is evident in Meggs' work, where the public space becomes a canvas for dialogue, and the art becomes a part of the everyday urban landscape. "What Goes Up" is not just a visual spectacle but also a piece of cultural commentary, encapsulating the ethos of street art and its role in contemporary discourse. "What Goes Up" is a prime example of Meggs' impact on the field of street art and his contribution to the broader pop art movement. The painting manifests the artist's dedication to craft, concept, and commentary. Through the integration of various artistic techniques and the strategic use of reclaimed materials, Meggs has created an artwork that is both a visual feast and a conceptual powerhouse. The significance of Meggs' work lies in its ability to resonate with viewers on multiple levels. This work can be appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and ability to evoke emotion and provoke thought. As a piece of Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork, "What Goes Up" embodies the spirit of this genre, which continues to push the boundaries of art and its place in society. It remains a poignant piece within Meggs' body of work and within the larger conversation of contemporary art.

His original piece titled "Punisher Crossing Original Street Sign Painting" encapsulates street art's raw essence while ingeniously infusing pop culture iconography elements. This work is a stellar example of RD-357's inventive use of everyday objects as canvases, transforming a mundane metal crosswalk street sign into a vibrant artwork that commands attention and sparks dialogue. The "Punisher Crossing" is a unique artwork that exudes the rebellious spirit and subversive edge often associated with street pop art. Created in 2012, this mixed media piece employs acrylic and spray paint on a real crossing sign measuring 30x37.5 inches. RD-357's choice to use an actual street sign as the foundation for his artwork not only repurposes the object but also embeds the art piece within the fabric of urban life it seeks to comment on. The sign, once a directive for pedestrians, now carries a powerful visual message, made all the more potent by its placement on an object of regulation and order. The Artistic Language of RD-357's Street Sign Paintings In "Punisher Crossing," RD-357 demonstrates a masterful control over color and composition. The background of the sign is ablaze with a vivid, almost violent splatter of yellow and red spray paint, reminiscent of the chaos and energy of city streets. Against this explosive backdrop, the figure of the Punisher is rendered with precision in acrylic, his stark, menacing presence immediately drawing the eye. The character's hand, outstretched and holding a gun, breaks the boundaries of the sign's frame, suggesting a defiance of constraints and a breaking free from imposed limits. RD-357's work is deeply embedded in the language of street pop art, a genre that combines the gritty, underground aesthetic of street art with the bright, graphic quality of pop art. His paintings, especially this piece, are a dialogue between the artist and the urban landscape, between the fictional characters of pop culture and the reality of the viewer's environment. By bringing the Punisher - a symbol of vigilante justice and anti-heroism - into the context of a crosswalk sign, RD-357 creates a juxtaposition that is at once startling and intriguing. The artwork becomes a statement on control and chaos, power and powerlessness, and the fine line between societal order and individual action. RD-357's Impact on Contemporary Street Art RD-357's contributions to the street art scene have been significant, and his influence can be seen in the way street pop art has evolved over the years. His artworks, particularly those on street signs, are more than mere paintings; they are interventions into the urban environment, which challenge the viewer to reconsider the role and potential of public space. The "Punisher Crossing" sign is emblematic of this approach, seamlessly integrating art into the city's daily liandlso elevating the discourse around street art. By signing his work, the artist claims ownership of a public domain piece, an act that is a form of artistic rebellion. The signature on "Punisher Crossing" is not merely a mark of authenticity; it is a declaration of presence, a proof of the artist's interaction with the world around him. Through works like this, RD-357 has etched his name into the annals of street pop art history, securing his place as a maverick who has expanded the possibilities of graffiti artwork. The "Punisher Crossing Original Street Sign Painting" by RD-357 stands as a testament to the power of street pop art to communicate, provoke, and inspire.

Thriller Original Painting Acrylic, House Paint & Aerosol on Cradled Wood by Shark Toof Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2015 Signed Orignal Spray Paint Mixed Media Painting Artwork Size 24x36 The Artistic Fusion of Shark Toof's 'Thriller' "Thriller," an original painting by Shark Toof, is a dynamic foray into graffiti street art and modern pop art. Crafted in 2015, this mixed media artwork—acrylic, house paint, and aerosol on cradled wood—displays Shark Toof's signature blend of street influence and acceptable art discipline. The piece, measuring 24x36 inches, is signed by the artist, providing authenticity to this vibrant representation of his multifaceted style. Shark Toof, recognized for his powerful visual statements in the street art community, brings his graffiti roots to the forefront in this piece. His work is not confined to the traditional expectations of pop art; instead, it ventures into a realm where iconoclasm meets iconography. In "Thriller," the influence of street art is palpable, with the raw energy of graffiti translating into a structured yet spirited composition on wood. Shark Toof's approach to his work reflects a conscious decision to merge his established voice with a playful irreverence, challenging the viewer to consider the icons of our time and their mutable significance. The artwork encapsulates Shark Toof's philosophy that art should not always be taken too seriously, suggesting that there is power in subverting one's creations. This notion of 'vandalizing' one's icons is a commentary on the impermanence of fame and the fluidity of cultural symbols in our society. This blend of introspection and external commentary positions "Thriller" within a unique space in contemporary art. Shark Toof and the Do-It-Yourself Ethos of Street Art Shark Toof's preference for Detroit as a backdrop for his creative process tells of his affinity for the do-it-yourself, or DIY, ethos often associated with street art. His connection to the city, known for its prosperous industry and innovation history, mirrors his artistic journey. In Detroit, a city that has experienced grandeur and grit, Shark Toof finds a kindred spirit—a landscape that is both a canvas and a catalyst for creativity. "Thriller" embodies this DIY spirit not only in its creation but also in its presentation. Using cradled wood as a substrate is a nod to the makeshift surfaces often employed in street art, where any space or material can become the foundation for expression. Shark Toof's choice of materials—house paint and aerosol—further echoes the vernacular of street art, where the medium's immediacy matches the message's urgency. Shark Toof's "Thriller" celebrates the evolving narrative of street pop art and graffiti artwork. His work is a testament to street art's power to transcend its urban origins and find resonance in a gallery setting. Through his bold use of color, form, and medium, Shark Toof continues challenging and redefining what it means to be a street artist in the contemporary art world. His work is a dialogue with the viewer, an invitation to explore the deeper meanings behind the images we see and the icons we create.

You Sound Like A Broken Record Screen Original One of a Kind Ink on Nylon Mesh & Aluminum Frame Painting Artwork by Legendary Street Graffiti Artist House33. YOU SOUND LIKE A BROKEN RECORD (Screen), 2021 Ink on nylon mesh & aluminum frame 68 × 52 in 172.7 × 132.1 cm HOUSE33: BAD INFLUENCES, an exhibition celebrating the artists who’ve influenced HOUSE33 through the medium of the silkscreen: a tool that turns everyday objects into inspiring accessible art. The exhibition features a series of one-off screen-printed canvases, large-scale skateboard decks, printed baltic birch panels, a series of utilized original silkscreens, and a limited edition exhibition screenprint. HOUSE33, a deviation of the iconic design studio and font foundry House Industries, originated as a mutated design experiment between commercial and art, born from a conversation about album covers, Hot Rods, Chaos Theory, and Brothel Creepers between Andy Cruz founder of House Industries and British fashion designer Simon “Barnzley” Armitage of London streetwear myth and fame. That conversation led House Industries, Barnzley, and designer Jeremy Dean to collaboratively build HOUSE33 and its flagship store in Soho London in the early 2000s. What began as a muse for typographic and illustrative explorations, became a collaborative creative breeding ground for clothing, art, and lettering, rooted in the art of screen printing.
