The logo spans the entire deck width and was released on February 18th, 2021, Supreme's Spring/Summer 2021 season. Supreme KAWS Chalk Logo Deck in Street Pop Art The intersection of streetwear and art has been a defining characteristic of modern Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork, and the "Supreme KAWS Chalk Logo Deck- Black Limited Edition Skateboard Deck Art" stands as a significant marker within this cultural fusion. This piece represents a collaboration between Supreme, the iconic designer brand known for its substantial influence on streetwear, and KAWS, an artist whose work has bridged the worlds of art and commercial design. The skateboard deck features the classic KAWS box logo, symbolizing the cultural zeitgeist, merging art with utility. The logo's design on this deck spans its entire width, a bold statement that speaks to the expansive nature of street art. Released on February 18th, 2021, as part of Supreme's Spring/Summer 2021 collection, this piece was not only a skateboard deck but also a canvas for artistic expression. Artistic Collaboration and Cultural Impact This collaboration between KAWS and Supreme underscores the reciprocal relationship between streetwear and street art. Once a staple of urban youth culture, the skateboard has been transformed into a piece of collectible art that carries the weight of both brands' legacies. The KAWS Chalk Logo Deck intertwines the artistic with the practical, becoming a touchstone for discussions about the nature and value of contemporary art within the commercial sphere. The release of this deck during the SS21 season signifies a moment when both the art world and the fashion industry were looking towards a post-pandemic reality, seeking to make bold statements through their offerings. The choice of the chalk logo, reminiscent of graffiti's temporary nature, suggests a commentary on the ephemeral quality of street art and fashion trends. Yet, by rendering this in a durable medium such as a skateboard deck, the piece also speaks to the lasting impact of these cultural expressions. Skateboard Decks as Artistic Mediums in Street Pop Art Skateboard decks have emerged as a favored medium in Street Pop Art, offering artists a unique surface intrinsically linked to youth culture, rebellion, and urban living. The Supreme KAWS Chalk Logo Deck exemplifies how these everyday objects can be elevated to the status of art, transforming the pedestrian into the prestigious. The limited edition nature of this deck adds to its allure, creating a sense of scarcity that is often leveraged in the art world to generate demand and interest. Using black as the backdrop for the chalk logo creates a stark contrast, ensuring that the iconic KAWS design is the focal point. This visual strategy is characteristic of KAWS's approach, where simplicity in color underscores the complexity of his figures and motifs. The collaboration is not merely merging of two brands but a coalescence of their respective philosophies and aesthetic languages, resulting in a functional and statement-piece product. The Supreme KAWS Chalk Logo Skateboard Deck is a testament to the dynamism of street pop art.

  • C/S I Silkscreen Pearl Print by OG Slick x Chaz Bojorquez

    OG Slick C/S I Silkscreen Pearl Print by OG Slick x Chaz Bojorquez

    C/S I 9-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Distressed Pearl White Finish Silkscreen Print on 250gsm Stonehenge White Fine Art Paper by OG Slick x Chaz Bojorquez Rare Street Art Famous Pop Artwork Artist. 2016 Signed by OG Slick x Chaz Bojorquez & Numbered Limited Edition of 150 P1  Exploring the Intricacies of C/S I by OG Slick and Chaz Bojorquez The collaboration between OG Slick and Chaz Bojorquez has given rise to C/S I, a 9-color hand-pulled limited edition silkscreen print that showcases the nuanced synergy between street pop art and graffiti artwork. Crafted in 2016, this work is part of a limited series, each piece bearing the artist's signature and numbered P1 out of 150, marking its exclusivity and importance as a collector's item. The collaboration between these two stalwarts of the street art scene synthesizes their distinct artistic voices into a unified visual statement that resonates with the energy and ethos of the urban landscape from which it draws inspiration. OG Slick, whose roots are firmly planted in the street culture of Los Angeles, brings his iconic imagery to the collaboration. His contributions to the C/S I print are characterized by the cartoon-like gloves that gesture towards the viewer, a direct and impactful use of imagery that has become a signature of his work. This graphical element starkly contrasts the intricate background, inviting a dialogue about the interaction between pop culture and the subversive nature of graffiti art. Signature Elements and Cultural Commentary in C/S I Chaz Bojorquez's influence within the C/S I print is unmistakable. His signature calligraphic style, derived from the Cholo writing of East Los Angeles, provides a rich textual backdrop to Slick's bold graphical elements. The layers of text in print are reminiscent of the palimpsest nature of street art, where messages are layered upon one another, creating a complex tapestry that speaks to the community's pulse. Bojorquez's artistry with letters goes beyond mere aesthetics, delving into the identity politics and social narratives that have always been at the heart of his work. The distressed pearl white finish on the print adds a dimension of age and texture, suggesting a weathered quality often found in street art exposed to the elements. This choice of finish not only enhances the visual depth of the piece but also bridges the gap between the transient nature of street art and the permanence sought by fine art pieces. The Stonehenge White Fine Art Paper, known for its quality and durability, reinforces the intention to preserve the fleeting beauty of street art in a form that stands the test of time. The Limited Edition Nature of C/S I and Its Collectibility The limited edition nature of the C/S I print underscores its value within street pop art and graffiti artwork. The fact that only 150 of these prints exist, each signed by the artists OG Slick and Chaz Bojorquez, elevates the work from mere reproduction to a coveted art piece. Collectors and enthusiasts of street art are drawn to the visual appeal of the work and the cultural capital that such a limited series represents. Owning a piece of this series is akin to holding a fragment of street art history, a snapshot of the moment when two renowned artists converged to leave an indelible mark on the art world. Impact of C/S I on the Perception of Street Art The impact of C/S I goes beyond the boundaries of traditional graffiti and street art. By situating the work within the context of pop art, OG Slick and Chaz Bojorquez challenge the viewer to reconsider the distinctions between high art and urban art forms. The collaboration speaks to the versatility and adaptability of street art, its ability to comment on and absorb influences from various artistic movements, and its persistent quest to gain legitimacy and respect within the art hierarchy. The print's visual elements reflect a sophisticated understanding of cultural symbols, iconography, and the power of the written word, all staples in street pop art and graffiti artwork. The collaboration between OG Slick and Chaz Bojorquez on C/S I is symbolic of a movement that refuses to be categorized simplistically, instead insisting on a complex identity as fluid and vibrant as the streets from which it originates. Through their artistic fusion, these artists contribute to the ongoing narrative of street art as a form that constantly evolves yet remains true to its roots in the urban tapestry.

This conversation continues to gain relevance as street pop art and graffiti artwork find their way into more traditional art venues and the hearts of a broader public.

Text Type Words & Sayings

The Significance of Text in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork

Text-type words and sayings have been integral to street pop art and graffiti artwork since their inception. The use of text in these art forms is as varied as the artists themselves, ranging from tags and stylized signatures of the graffiti artist to larger pieces of textual art that may encompass sayings, quotes, or social commentary. These textual elements often serve as a direct line of communication between the artist and the public, conveying messages that can be personal, political, or simply aesthetic. Incorporating text into street art can transform urban landscapes into canvases that question, provoke, and engage. Words become a visual tool, as important as color and form in conveying the artist's message. In pop art, text has been used to comment on consumer culture and media, often incorporating slogans and logos from advertising and comic books. On the other hand, street art often uses text to convey more subversive messages, directly challenging viewers to rethink their surroundings and the status quo.

Evolution of Textual Use in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork

Over the decades, the use of text in street pop art and graffiti artwork has evolved significantly. Initially, graffiti was about visibility and presence, with artists tagging their names to mark territory. However, as the art form matured, so did the messages conveyed through text. Artists began to use words to express their opinions on social and political issues, tell stories, and make their voices heard on topics often overlooked or ignored in mainstream discourse. The typography used in street pop art is as diverse as the messages themselves. Artists choose fonts that reflect the tone and content of their words – aggressive, whimsical, somber, or ironic. The lettering is not merely a method of communication but an artistic expression. It can be intricate, calligraphic, blocky, bold, distorted, and abstract. The style chosen by the artist adds another layer of meaning to the words depicted.

Cultural Impact and Social Commentary

Text in street pop art and graffiti artwork often reflects the culture and issues of the times. This has been evident in various movements and historical moments, where artists have used textual art to address inequality, racial injustice, environmental concerns, and political upheaval. The words painted on walls can be powerful reminders of societal challenges, often becoming iconic symbols of resistance and solidarity. Furthermore, textual street art can create a sense of community and shared experience. Slogans and sayings on public walls can resonate with passersby, fostering a collective identity or shared purpose. This aspect of street pop art and graffiti artwork highlights its role not just as a visual spectacle but as a social catalyst and a means of community building.

Contemporary Trends and Future Directions

The intersection between street art, pop art, and digital text is becoming increasingly prominent in the digital age. Artists are experimenting with new technologies to incorporate text into their works innovatively. This includes using projections, digital screens, and even augmented reality, which allows for a dynamic interaction between the text, the artwork, and the viewer. As street pop art and graffiti artwork continue to gain recognition in art, the use of text in these mediums is also being reevaluated and celebrated. Galleries and exhibitions now often feature works that originated on city walls, bringing the streets' powerful messages and textual artistry to a new audience.
In conclusion, text-type words and sayings in street pop art and graffiti artwork serve as a bridge between the artist and the public, offering a direct and impactful mode of expression. These textual elements not only enhance the visual impact of the artwork but also deepen its meaning and potential to inspire change. As street art and pop art evolve, the creative use of text remains a vital and dynamic aspect of these vibrant art forms, continuing to challenge, engage, and inspire.
