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.

The Greed Depression Large Format Silkscreen Print by NoName x Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled on Deckled Archival Cotton Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. 2023 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 80 Artwork Size 23.75x31.5 Silkscreen Print "My friend No Name and I collaborated recently on a print inspired by my cover for George Orwell’s “Down and Out in Paris and London” and our mutual irritation with greed and the brutality of many aspects of capitalism. No Name and I are both frustrated by the forces which convince much of the public to fall in line with a system that grinds them (and most of us) in its gears, and contributes to feelings of insecurity. With that in mind, don’t buy this print if you should use the money for something better or nothing at all. Should you think it over and still want a print, your money will support No Name’s public art endeavors and survival within the gears of capitalism… oh, and mine too! We both appreciate the support. No Name wrote about the print in greater depth, so I’ll let him take it from here!" -Shepard Fairey "I was introduced to Georg Orwell’s novels back in the late ’90s through my english teacher, an insignificant-looking sarcastic little man, who mantra-like implanted us the adage “use your common sense.” Nearly one decade later, I rediscovered Orwell’s books – and thoughts – through the appealing cover layout design by the kindred spirit street art activist Shepard Fairey, who I’m glad to call a friend today for many years. Shepard and I were discussing his illustration for “Down and Out” which he actually, for some reason, hadn’t made as a print edition yet. Due to the fact that Orwell’s dystopian books were/are one of the leading inspirations for our philosophy and work, Shepard offered to team up and use the illustration for a collaboration." -NoNAME

Platinum Plus Limited Edition 9-Color Hand-Pulled Silkscreen Print on Fine Art Paper by Denial Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2020 Signed Limited Edition of 80 Artwork Size 24x18 In 2000 he adopted the moniker ‘DENIAL’ as a means of poking fun at advertising, politics, and media messages that contemporary society is often ‘in denial’ about. Since then he has maintained an ongoing global street-campaign of over 500, 000 stickers, placards, and murals, using the alpha-numeric characters ‘D3N!@L’. Intended as a conceptual means of marketing absurdism, DENIAL also challenges traditional notions of graffiti and public art through his bold and often satirical visual subversions. Denial has evolved as one the most prominent figures of contemporary pop artists, who nonetheless, continue to stay relevant and is interested in generating thought-provoking commentary. He has a long history of exploring the boundaries of appropriation, which he uses as a means of subverting the value of cultural products, imprinted in the collective memory of the Western civilization. His work, in other words, is inviting the viewer to re-imagine our dystopian society as a way of confronting it, with humor and irony as the biggest tools of the artist.

PP Printers Proof 2020 Signed & Marked PP Limited Edition Artwork Size 18x18 Archival Pigment Fine Art The Provocative Narrative of Denial's "This Is America" "This Is America" by Denial, the pseudonym of artist Daniel Bombardier, is a profound example of street pop art's capacity to engage with contemporary social issues. Released as a Printer's Proof (PP) in 2020, this limited edition print on 290gsm Moab Entrada fine art paper utilizes archival pigment to ensure lasting quality. Measuring 18x18 inches, each piece in this series is signed and marked by the artist, signifying its authenticity and exclusivity as part of a limited edition run. The artwork's stark, graphic quality and poignant textual message combine to form a piece that is both a visual statement and a commentary on the nation's state. Denial's work is known for its bold aesthetic that employs pop art and graffiti elements to convey messages about consumerism, politics, and social justice. "This Is America" is no exception, with its graphic depiction that plays on themes of identity, representation, and the American experience. The artwork's title, a question loaded with social and political undertones, invites viewers to ponder the reality of America's promise versus its actuality, especially concerning racial and social dynamics. Denial's Artistic Influence and Technique In the pop art tradition, Denial utilizes bright, arresting colors and stark contrasts to draw the viewer's eye and provoke a reaction. His technique is reminiscent of screen printing pioneers but with a modern twist that often incorporates elements of street art, such as stenciling and spray paint.

Street Pop Art and Its Role in Cultural Discourse Street pop art, as a hybrid of pop art's focus on mass culture and street art's raw, public-facing expression, has become an influential force in cultural discourse. Artists like Denial leverage the visibility and accessibility of street art to bring critical social issues to the forefront of public consciousness. "This Is America" serves as a visual catalyst for discussions about race, equality, and the American dream, effectively using the visual language of pop art to engage a broad audience in these conversations. The piece's direct and aggressive style is characteristic of street pop art's ability to challenge perceptions and inspire dialogue. Denial's work, particularly in this print, harnesses the power of graphic representation to address complex societal issues, making it a poignant example of how art can reflect and influence the times. In sum, "This Is America" by Denial is more than just a piece of modern artwork; it is a statement, a question, and a reflection of the times. Its place in the continuum of street pop art and graffiti artwork is solidified by its provocative imagery and the discussions it sparks. As a PP archival print, it stands as a testament to the enduring power of visual art to comment on and engage with the pressing issues of the day.

Separated- Grey Limited Edition Vinyl Art Toy Collectible Artwork by street graffiti artist Kaws. 2021 Separated (Grey) Vinyl 7 87/100 × 6 3/10 × 7 9/100 in 20 × 16 × 18 cm Displayed with Box KAWS and the Ascendance of Street Pop Art The "Separated" vinyl art toy by KAWS is a remarkable piece that stands as a testament to the fusion of street art sensibilities with the collectible art toy market. KAWS, initially known for his provocative approach to street art, which involved reworking ads in bus shelters and phone booths with his iconic characters, has become a significant figure in the contemporary art world. His work often includes a series of characters that have become instantly recognizable and highly sought after by collectors and the general public alike. The artist known as KAWS, whose real name is Brian Donnelly, is a graduate of the School of Visual Arts in New York. He began his career as a graffiti artist on the streets of Jersey City and quickly gained notoriety for his provocative and humorous adaptations of popular advertisements. Over time, KAWS' work evolved from spray-painted murals to large-scale sculptures and collectible toys, bridging the gap between the underground graffiti world and fine art galleries' elite realm. KAWS' contributions to the world of art have been significant in merging commercialism with street culture, reflecting a unique blend termed "Street Pop Art." The Significance of 'Separated' The "Separated" collectible, released in 2021, continues KAWS' exploration of emotion and isolation. It features one of his central characters in a pose that suggests contemplation or sorrow, embodying the loneliness and separation prevalent in modern society. The character is presented in a monochromatic greyscale, a choice that enhances the sad theme of the piece. With this work, KAWS is selling a product and expressing contemporary sentiments, which has always been a cornerstone of Graffiti Artwork. The dimensions of "Separated" are 7 87/100 × 6 3/10 × 7 9/100 inches (approximately 20 × 16 × 18 cm), and the figure is often displayed alongside its box, which itself bears the artwork of KAWS, making the packaging an integral part of the art piece. The item was marketed as an open edition, meaning that rather than being released in a limited quantity, it was produced to meet demand, making KAWS' art more accessible to a broader audience. Collectibility and Impact on Pop Culture The collectibility of KAWS' work lies not only in the aesthetic appeal of his designs but also in the way they resonate with contemporary themes of connection and disconnection. As such, KAWS figures like "Separated" serve as art pieces and cultural artifacts that encapsulate the mood of an era. This particular piece is part of a broader trend in which street art has moved from the fringes into the center of popular culture, often carrying poignant social commentary. KAWS' vinyl art toys have become hot commodities in the collectibles market, with some editions selling out within minutes of release. The value of these pieces can be appreciated over time, making them not only a piece of art for display but also an investment. This trend has helped elevate the status of toys and street art, increasing their recognition as legitimate forms of art. KAWS in the Artistic Pantheon In terms of his place within the art world, KAWS occupies a unique position where his work is at the intersection of commercial and fine art. His crossover appeal is evident in his collaborations with major brands, musicians, and fashion lines, which have helped to disseminate his work far beyond traditional art spaces. Yet, he maintains a strong presence in art, with exhibitions in major museums and galleries worldwide. The "Separated" figure, especially, encapsulates KAWS' ability to communicate complex emotional states through simplified forms and gestures. The piece reflects the contemporary zeitgeist, addressing themes of isolation and vulnerability that are universal in the human experience. This universality, combined with a distinctive aesthetic, has allowed KAWS to transcend the world of Graffiti Artwork and Street Pop Art to become a globally recognized artist. KAWS' "Separated" is a vinyl art toy that represents much more than its physical form; it stands as a cultural symbol of the times, a commentary on the human condition, and an object of desire for art collectors and enthusiasts. Its release has further solidified KAWS' position as an artist who deftly navigates between various artistic spheres, profoundly impacting each.

1984 Blotter Paper Limited Edition Archival Pigment Print Art on Perforated Blotter Paper by Ben Frost pop culture LSD artwork. Archival Pigment Print on Perforated Blotter Paper Size: 7.5 x 7.5 Inches Release: April 19, 2021 Limited blotter editions are hand-perforated by Zane Kesey & may vary slightly from the example shown. 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.

As a Printer's Proof (PP) limited edition, this 9-color hand-pulled silkscreen print is a rare and collectible piece of art, released on March 09, 2021. The use of 10pt lava foil holographic fine art paper gives the artwork a mesmerizing quality, with its reflective surface creating a sense of depth and movement that enhances the visual impact of the piece. The artwork's size, 18 x 24 inches, is substantial and ideal for capturing the intricate details and vibrant colors that Denial employs. Each print in this limited edition is signed and marked PP by the artist, denoting its exclusivity and the artist's direct involvement in the creation and approval process. The holographic effects of the lava foil paper interact with the silkscreen ink, resulting in a dynamic piece that changes with the viewer's perspective and the surrounding light. Denial's work often comments on consumerism, politics, and the media, and "American Daydream-Foil" is no exception. The image of a woman's face, reminiscent of the classic pop art style made famous by artists like Roy Lichtenstein, is overlaid with a dazzling pattern that reveals and conceals her features. This interplay suggests the tension between reality and the manufactured dreams sold to society, a recurring theme in Denial's oeuvre and a poignant critique that resonates deeply in street pop art and graffiti. Reflective Surfaces and Societal Reflections in Denial's Art The reflective surface of "American Daydream-Foil" is a literal and figurative mirror, inviting viewers to reflect on their perceptions and the societal constructs that shape them. Denial’s use of foil is remarkably evocative, as it not only catches the eye but also suggests the allure and superficiality of the American Dream. The way the artwork's appearance changes with light and angle can be seen as a metaphor for the shifting nature of this dream and the elusive pursuit of happiness within modern American culture. The piece's limited release and its Printer's Proof status elevate its value in the art market, making it a sought-after item for collectors of street pop art, graffiti artwork, and modern pop art. The PP mark signifies that this particular edition was used to check the quality before the final run, often kept by the artist for personal reasons or sold to discerning collectors who appreciate the rarity and authenticity of such proofs. Denial's "American Daydream-Foil" is a powerful addition to the narrative of street pop art and graffiti artwork. It bridges the gap between the rebellious origins of street art and the refined techniques of fine art printing, creating a piece that is both a statement and a spectacle. As with much of Denial's work, the piece is imbued with layers of meaning, challenging viewers to look beyond the surface and consider the more profound commentary on the culture surrounding them. In contemporary art, "American Daydream-Foil" stands as a vibrant example of how traditional pop art motifs and modern techniques can come together to create something that reflects and reacts to the society from which it springs.

Passing Through Bronze Figure Sculpture 20th Anniversary by Kaws- Brian Donnelly Limited Edition Pop Artwork Street Artist Fine Art. 2022 Signed/Stamped Foot Limited Edition of 250 Artwork Size 1.8x 4.3x 2.8 Kaws AllRightsReserved 20th Anniversary Series BFF Bronze Metal Sculpture Figure. KAWS' "Passing Through" - A Sculptural Ode to Resonance The "Passing Through Bronze Figure Sculpture" is a significant piece in the pantheon of Brian Donnelly's, popularly known as KAWS, body of work. Celebrating the 20th anniversary of his collaborative efforts with AllRightsReserved (ARR), this sculpture embodies the essence of KAWS' artistry while marking an important milestone in the progression of street pop and graffiti artwork. The piece, sized at 1.8 x 4.3 x 2.8 inches, represents a key theme in KAWS' work: the universal experience of navigating life's myriad paths. This sculpture is particularly poignant, capturing a moment of introspection, a theme that runs deep in KAWS' street pop art. With its hands covering its face, the character is both a witness and a participant over time, embodying the shared human emotions of contemplation and withdrawal. The limited edition nature of the work, with only 250 signed and stamped pieces available, adds an element of exclusivity to this reflective narrative. Street Pop Art Evolves: KAWS' Signature Approach Brian Donnelly, a New Jersey native, began his career as a graffiti artist. His evolution from the streets to esteemed galleries worldwide is a compelling tale of artistic growth and acceptance of street art in the formal art world. KAWS' work is at once a continuation and a departure from his early graffiti, maintaining the raw emotional connectivity of street art while embracing the permanence and historical weight of sculpture. His pieces, particularly the "Passing Through" sculpture, are a testament to the layered complexity that street pop art can achieve.

This series commemorates their shared history and signifies their joint commitment to propelling street pop art forward. KAWS' Global Impact on Street Pop and Graffiti Art The influence of KAWS on street pop and graffiti artwork extends far beyond his sculptures. His art has permeated the fabric of urban culture, elevating characters and themes from the street to an international stage.

KAWS' approach—marked by an emphasis on emotional resonance and a distinctive visual language—has carved a niche in art history.
