AP Artist Proof 2023 Signed & Marked AP Flat Matte Paint Marker Mixed Media Limited Edition Artwork Size 26x20 HPM Hand Embellished Giclee Print. "This piece was made based on the idea, "I wanted to create that moment of serenity I felt sitting on the banks, deep in the wild concrete of the LA River opposite of my old giant roller piece, watching the city as the sun had set... Yet, this time, the giant roller piece was repainted shortly after 2050. "..... Using flat matte paint markers, I could accentuate the highlights, colors, city lights, and details. I also busted out the reading glasses and hid some tiny tags in each one." -Saber. Reflecting Urban Tranquility: Saber's "LARIVER 2050 AP Artist Proof HPM Giclee Print" The "LARIVER 2050 AP Artist Proof HPM Giclee Print" by Saber stands out as a significant piece within the street pop art and graffiti art landscape, blending the aesthetics of urban graffiti with the serene backdrop of the Los Angeles River. This 2023 signed and marked Artist Proof captures a futuristic vision of the city, presenting a unique juxtaposition of natural tranquility and urban vibrancy. Sized at 26x20 inches on deckled fine art paper, the limited edition artwork showcases Saber's mastery in hand embellishing giclee prints with flat matte paint markers, emphasizing highlights, colors, and intricate city lights. Saber, a prominent figure in the graffiti world, is renowned for his large-scale works on the concrete banks of the LA River. This piece is an homage to the artist's experience of the river, reflecting on a moment of calm as he observed the city's transformation at sunset. The artwork imagines this scene in the year 2050, with the artist's "giant roller piece" from the past re-envisioned in a new form. The use of mixed media adds depth and dimension to the print, creating a dynamic interplay between the textural surface of the paper and the vibrant application of color. In crafting "LARIVER 2050," Saber has embedded minute tags within the artwork, a nod to the graffiti tradition of leaving a signature mark that personalizes and authenticates one's work. These hidden elements invite the viewer to engage with the print closely, discovering new details and layers of meaning. The hand embellishments ensure that each piece within the edition stands as a unique work of art with individualized accents and nuances. The print's portrayal of the LA River, a significant but often overlooked landmark, serves as a metaphor for the city itself—its resilience, constant flux, and hidden pockets of beauty amidst the urban sprawl. Saber's work challenges the notion of graffiti as mere vandalism, instead presenting it as a sophisticated form of street pop art that can capture and convey the complex narratives of city life. "LARIVER 2050" celebrates street art's evolution from its underground beginnings to its current status as a respected and sought-after form of contemporary art. The decision to use giclee printing, a method known for its high-quality reproduction of artworks, indicates the medium's acceptance within the fine art world. Saber's choice to hand-embellish each print further blurs the line between mass-produced art and unique creations, a line that street artists have been navigating and redefining over the past few decades. Saber's "LARIVER 2050 AP Artist Proof HPM Giclee Print" is a testament to the transformative power of street pop art and graffiti artwork. It reflects the artist's deep connection to the urban environment and his ability to capture its essence in a visually striking and emotionally resonant way.

Throw Ups & Tags Graffiti Street Pop Artwork

Throw Ups and tags in Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork

Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork have long been synonymous with the vibrant, often illicit expressions in urban landscapes. Central to this art form are 'throw-ups' and 'tags,' the most basic and prolific elements of graffiti. While graffiti's origins trace back through decades, it is in the latter half of the twentieth century that these particular forms have taken shape, becoming a staple in cities around the globe.

Essence and Characteristics of Throw-Ups

Throw-ups are characterized by their bubbly letters, typically outlined and filled in with minimal colors for speed and efficiency. This style is designed for quick execution, allowing the artist to create a significant and impactful visual statement in a short amount of time, often to cover as much territory as possible or to place their mark in high-risk areas. The aesthetic of throw-ups balances readability and stylization, with the artist's name becoming a visual icon through repeated public display. They serve as a calling card for graffiti writers, a testament to their presence, and a challenge to the transient nature of street art.

Significance and Evolution of Tags

Tags are the most fundamental expression in graffiti, the artist's stylized signature. They are often seen as the purest form of graffiti, a direct link between the artist and their pseudonym. Originating as simple marks to signal an individual's presence, tags have evolved into intricate works of art in their own right, showcasing a mastery of form and a deep understanding of street art's calligraphic traditions. They are not only a means of claiming territory but also a way of asserting one's identity within the subculture.

Cultural Impact and Perception

The cultural impact of throw-ups and tags is significant, as they have been both celebrated and vilified. They are seen by enthusiasts as raw embodiments of the artist's personality and as markers of urban space by the street art community. However, these forms of expression are often misunderstood by the general public and can be dismissed as vandalism rather than a legitimate art form. Despite this, throw-ups and tags have undeniably influenced the aesthetic of Street Pop Art and have become an intrinsic part of the visual language of urban environments.

Artistic Techniques and Styles

The techniques involved in creating throw-ups and tags require skill and practice. Artists often develop their unique style by practicing with various tools ranging from spray cans to markers. The progression from simple tags to elaborate throw-ups can be seen as an artist's journey, honing their technique and expanding their visual vocabulary. The style of each artist's tag or throw-up is as unique as a fingerprint, often loaded with symbolic meaning and personal flair.

Throw Ups & Tags in Mainstream Recognition

Despite their controversial status, throw-ups and tags have gained mainstream recognition, influencing graphic design, fashion, and popular culture. They have been featured in galleries and exhibitions, challenging the traditional boundaries of art. The transition from the streets to the galleries has not been without its tensions, as questions regarding authenticity and commercialization arise. Nevertheless, the art form continues to evolve, and its influence is evident across various creative disciplines. Throw-ups and tags are foundational elements of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork. They embody the raw, unfiltered voice of the city, capturing the spirit of rebellion, identity, and community. As society's understanding of this art form grows, so does the appreciation for the skill and cultural significance behind every line and curve.
