Sadness & Crying

Word Games Blotter Paper Limited Edition Archival Pigment Print Art on Perforated Blotter Paper by Ben Frost pop culture LSD artwork. Australian contemporary artist Ben Frost is best known for his bold, irreverent Pop Art. His instantly recognizable take on pop culture twists up everyday iconography from the world’s biggest brands. Subverting meaning and messages from the mainstream media, Frost’s scathing commentary on advertising, entertainment, and politics is both confronting and controversial. The essence of Frost’s commentary is established on the basis of subverting the meaning and the messages, promoted by the mainstream media. In other words and, as he has stated in the past: “The less you fill your mind with the trappings of advertising and bad television, the more space you have in your brain for things of value”. At the same time, his take on modern pop culture is equally compelling. Mainstream media, advertisements, and politics can be identified as some of his main fields of interest, which he utilizes and mixes up in a controversial formation. The word controversial is not used incidentally. What Ben Frost’s art is doing is, essentially, the appropriation and weaponization of imagery against the same system that gave birth to it.

Crying Woman Art HPM Spray Paint Stencil Silkscreen on Fabriano Fine Art Paper Painting Artwork by street pop culture artist Copyright. 2019 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 25 Artwork Size 19.75x27.5 Spray Paint Stencil Silkscreen Artwork of Wonder Woman Close Up To Face Crying. In the expansive realm of street and pop culture art, a particular piece that resonates deeply is "Crying Woman" crafted by the renowned street artist, Copyright. Created in 2019, this artwork harnesses the potency of spray paint stencil techniques combined with silkscreen, both applied on the rich texture of Fabriano Fine Art Paper. Its dimensions, 19 3/4 x 27 1/2 inches (or 50 x 70 cm), serve as a canvas to the emotionally charged portrayal of Wonder Woman in an intimate close-up, capturing a raw moment where tears flow freely down her face. What makes this piece even more exclusive is the limited edition nature of its existence. Only 25 pieces were ever produced, making each a treasured possession, with each piece bearing the signature of Copyright, authenticating its originality and affirming its place in the annals of pop culture art. The decision to depict Wonder Woman, an emblem of strength, resilience, and empowerment, in a vulnerable state is both striking and paradoxical. It underscores the multifaceted nature of humanity, where even the mightiest are not impervious to emotions and moments of fragility. The medium chosen by Copyright also speaks volumes. Spray paint stencil, inherently linked with graffiti art, brings forth a certain rawness, an unfiltered edge that aligns well with the raw emotions displayed. Silkscreen, on the other hand, introduces an element of finesse, contrasting and yet complementing the stencil work. Fabriano paper, with its rich heritage and fine texture, offers a base that gives the artwork a timeless appeal. Through "Crying Woman", Copyright not only presents a visual feast but also instigates a dialogue about vulnerability, strength, and the interplay of contrasting emotions and mediums in the world of street pop culture art.

Only 50 pieces exist worldwide, each measuring 12x16 inches and printed on fine art paper, a testament to the enduring allure of tactile, physical art in an increasingly digital world. Embracing Vulnerability in Street Pop Art The subject of "Felt Carousel" is a young woman, styled as a fashion clown, with a single tear marking her visage. This image diverges from the often vibrant and aggressive tones associated with graffiti art, offering a moment of vulnerability and introspection. Winnel masterfully blends the whimsy of a carousel, traditionally a symbol of childhood innocence, with the complex emotional state of the woman, creating a layered piece that invites contemplation. The contrast of the woman's tearful expression against the light-hearted motif of the carousel hat suggests a narrative of complexity within simplicity. This approach is emblematic of Street Pop Art's evolution, capable of expressing societal commentary and the profound personal struggles and joys that define the human experience. Contemplating the Subtleties of Street Art and Expression Bec Winnel's "Felt Carousel" print is a poignant reminder that Street Pop Art is not monolithic; it is a diverse and dynamic expression that transcends traditional boundaries. The choice of a Giclee print for this work underscores the importance of quality and longevity in art, ensuring that the delicate nuances of Winnel's pastel palette and the emotional gravity of the piece are preserved over time. In the broader context, "Felt Carousel" contributes to the narrative that Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork are not confined to public displays on urban walls but are also at home in private collections, which can be reflected upon in personal spaces. With its interplay of innocence and sorrow, this print demonstrates the genre's capacity to delve deep into the psyche, proving that street art can be as contemplative and stirring as any classical portrait. A Testament to the Enduring Spirit of Artistic Expression Finally, "Felt Carousel" is a testament to Bec Winnel's ability to evoke emotion and tell a story through her art. The fashion clown motif and the subject's genuine feeling craft a unique narrative open to interpretation yet universally understood. As one of the limited 50 owners of this print, collectors are invited to engage in a silent dialogue with the artwork, contemplating the myriad emotions that it elicits. Bec Winnel, through her sensitive and evocative portrayal of the human condition, continues to make an indelible mark on the world of contemporary art. "Felt Carousel" is not just a print; it is a piece of Winnel's soul, shared with the world, and a reminder that true artistry lies in the ability to elicit feeling and thought through the silent language of imagery.

Sorry Is Not Enough PP Archival Print by Denial- Daniel Bombardier Limited Edition Print on 290gsm Moab Entrada Fine Art Paper Pop Artist Modern Artwork. PP Printers Proof 2020 Signed & Marked PP Limited Edition Artwork Size 18x18 Archival Pigment Fine Art Denial's "Sorry Is Not Enough": A Striking Statement in Street Pop Art "Sorry Is Not Enough," a potent piece by the artist Denial, whose real name is Daniel Bombardier, encapsulates a powerful socio-political message within the framework of street pop art and graffiti artwork. This limited edition archival print is set on a 290gsm Moab Entrada fine art paper—a medium chosen for its durability and ability to hold vibrant pigments. As a Printer's Proof (PP) from 2020, it has a special place in the artist's portfolio, denoting a limited run personally overseen and marked by Denial himself. The piece's dimensions, an impactful 18x18 inches, provide a square canvas that compels the observer to confront the message head-on. The artwork is notable not only for its technical specifications but for its thematic boldness. It features a stylized depiction typical of Denial's work, with solid and contrasting colors and an iconic and enigmatic central figure. The text "Sorry Is Not Enough" boldly underscores the visual, serving as both a caption and a statement that amplifies the emotional resonance of the image. In street pop art, such directness is not uncommon; it's a genre that often seeks to communicate messages succinctly and powerfully, cutting through the noise to reach its audience. The Role of Printer's Proofs in Contemporary Street Art Printer's Proofs are traditionally part of an edition outside the regular numbered series, typically reserved for the artist's personal use. Their rarity and the artist's direct involvement in their creation often make them more valuable and sought after by collectors. Denial's "Sorry Is Not Enough" PP joins this tradition, allowing collectors to own a piece that comes directly from the artist's hand. The PP mark and Denial's signature confirm its authenticity and the print's status as a genuine piece of his oeuvre. In "Sorry Is Not Enough," Denial employs archival pigment in creating the fine art print, ensuring the longevity of the piece and the stability of its vibrant colors over time. Archival pigments are resistant to the fading and deterioration that often plague art materials, making them a favored choice for works meant to stand the test of time. This attention to longevity is a testament to the merging of street art's immediacy and the enduring nature of fine art. Street Pop Art as a Conduit for Social Commentary Denial's work, particularly this print, exemplifies street pop art's unique ability to serve as a conduit for social commentary. By leveraging the visual language of pop art—bold graphics, explicit imagery, and stark text—artists can communicate complex messages quickly and effectively. This piece, with its evocative facial expression and the simplicity of its accompanying text, invites reflection on the current societal discourse, encouraging the viewer to ponder the depth and sincerity behind apologies and the actions that necessitate them. "Sorry Is Not Enough" is a visual dialogue on accountability and the need for substantial action beyond mere words. This message is particularly resonant in an era where public figures and institutions are often called upon to address their wrongdoings. Denial's print captures this zeitgeist, challenging the viewer to consider what meaningful reparation might look like. In conclusion, "Sorry Is Not Enough" by Denial is a compelling example of how street pop art and graffiti artwork can encapsulate and communicate powerful sentiments. This piece not only reflects Denial's skill as an artist but also embodies the potential of street pop art to engage with and influence public discourse. Through his work, Denial continues to contribute to the rich tapestry of contemporary art, using his platform to provoke thought and inspire change.
