Takashi Murakami TM/KK We Are the Jocular Clan Offset Lithograph Print by Takashi Murakami TM/KK
We Are the Jocular Clan Offset Lithograph Print by Takashi Murakami TM/KK Print on Smooth Wove Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Hand-Pulled Street Pop Artwork Graffiti. 2018 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 300 Offset Lithograph Artwork Print Size 19.63x19.63 Kaikai Kiki Co. Ltd., Tokyo. Decoding the Visual Symphony of Takashi Murakami's "We Are the Jocular Clan" The fusion of contemporary art and street culture is magnificently encapsulated in Takashi Murakami's offset lithograph print, "We Are the Jocular Clan." This limited edition piece, hand-pulled on smooth-wove fine art paper, is a quintessential example of street pop and graffiti artwork. Murakami, a stalwart in the post-modern art scene, is renowned for blurring the boundaries between high and low culture, a theme that resonates deeply in this 2018 creation. The artwork, signed and numbered, comprises a limited series of 300 prints, each sized at 19.63x19.63 inches, and presents a visual narrative that is both playful and profound. Takashi Murakami's Artistic Legacy and Street Pop Artistry Murakami's aesthetic, often categorized under the Superflat movement, indicates his deep engagement with the historical and contemporary visual language. "We Are the Jocular Clan" showcases Murakami's iconic design elements, such as the smiling flowers and whimsical eyes, that have become synonymous with his name. These motifs are not just recurring visual themes but are also imbued with cultural significance, drawing from Japanese art traditions and the global impact of anime and manga. The juxtaposition of traditional Japanese art with the anarchic energy of street art and graffiti forms a complex, layered tapestry of meanings that challenge the viewer's perception of art, culture, and society. Materiality and Craftsmanship in Murakami's Printmaking The craftsmanship in producing "We Are the Jocular Clan" is a testament to the meticulous processes behind fine art printmaking. The decision to use offset lithography is a nod to the democratization of art, a principle often celebrated in street pop art. This method allows for a wider dissemination of Murakami's work, making it accessible to a broader audience and not just the echelons of art collectors. The smooth-wove fine art paper is a canvas that captures the original artwork's vibrant colors and intricate details, ensuring that each piece, though part of a series, retains a sense of uniqueness and individuality. Cultural Dialogue Through Murakami's Visual Language "We Are the Jocular Clan" is not merely an object of visual delight but a cultural dialogue articulated through Murakami's distinct visual language. The piece embodies the essence of street pop art — it is accessible yet complex, severe yet playful, and individual yet universal. Murakami's work bridges the street and the gallery, inviting interpretations across diverse cultural and social contexts. It reflects the artist's philosophical inquiries into the nature of joy, the constructs of clan-like communities, and the role of art as a communal experience. In contemporary art, Murakami's work has consistently pushed the boundaries of what is considered art, just as graffiti once pushed against the boundaries of legality and acceptance in public spaces. "We Are the Jocular Clan" holds within its vibrant composition the revolutionary spirit of street art, the aesthetic pleasures of pop art, and the conceptual depth of contemporary art practices. Much like Murakami's oeuvre, this artwork catalyzes the ongoing discourse about the intersections and divergences within art forms and the evolving narrative of street pop art and graffiti artwork.

Gats- Graffiti Against The System Cruiser Red Skateboard Art Deck by Gats- Graffiti Against The System
Cruiser- Red Fine Art Limited Edition Screen Print on Wood Skateboard Deck by Street Artwork Graffiti Artist Gats- Graffiti Against The System. 2018 Rare Edition of 25 Skateboard Deck. SpokeArt produced cruiser by GATS PTV for ComplexCon 2018 Red Edition of 25 Screen Printed Skate Deck Size: 9" x 32" from Oakland, CA. The Artistic Revolution on Wheels: "Cruiser - Red" by GATS The "Cruiser - -Red" skateboard deck, a limited edition piece by the street artist GATS, is a symbolic piece that showcases the fusion of street pop art & graffiti artwork with the cultural phenomenon of skateboarding. Produced by SpokeArt for ComplexCon in 2018, this rare collectible is one of only 25 pieces, making it an exclusive acquisition for art collectors and skate enthusiasts. This unique screen print on wood measures 9 inches by 32 inches and originates from Oakland, CA, a city known for its rich street art scene. GATS, an acronym for Graffiti Against The System, is an artist whose identity remains as enigmatic as the masked figures that populate his works. His art is a social commentary, often touching upon anonymity, freedom, and resistance against societal structures. The "Cruiser - Red" deck features a striking red background that amplifies the intricate black and white illustration, a hallmark of GATS' distinctive style. The central motif – a pair of eyes within a mask – is a recurring element in GATS' work, symbolizing the gaze of the disenfranchised and the overlooked. The screen print on wood infuses the skateboard deck with a dual nature: a functional object meant to traverse the urban landscape and a portable canvas that carries the weight of a message. This duality encapsulates the essence of street art – its mobility, accessibility, and ability to engage with the public in a dialogue about the space it occupies. Collectible Artistry: GATS' "Cruiser - Red" in the Pantheon of Pop Art In the pantheon of contemporary art, "Cruiser-Red" by GATS occupies a unique position. The limited edition nature of the piece – with only 25 in existence – elevates it from a mere object to a sought-after piece of collectible art. Each skateboard deck is a testament to the artist's commitment to creating art that is not only visually compelling but also scarce and special. A deep understanding of graffiti's cultural and political undertones characterizes GATS's artistry. His work on the "Cruiser - Red" deck celebrates the defiant spirit of street art and its ability to communicate complex messages through simple yet powerful imagery. The deck serves not just as a piece of art to be hung on a wall but as a statement piece that challenges the conventions of what constitutes fine art. GATS' choice of medium – a skateboard deck – is a nod to the subversive culture of skateboarding, which, much like street art, has its roots in the fringes of society, embodying a sense of rebellion and nonconformity. The "Cruiser-Red" is thus more than an object; it's a cultural artifact that captures the spirit of its time and the ethos of its creator. Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork: The Movement and the Medium Street pop art & graffiti artwork is a movement that blurs the lines between illicit street graffiti and the curated spaces of galleries. Artists like GATS bridge this divide by creating works capable of existing in both realms. The "Cruiser-Red" is a prime example of this crossover, a piece that carries the raw edge of street graffiti into the world of fine art collecting. The artwork speaks to a broader audience, drawing in those who might not traditionally engage with graffiti and inviting them to appreciate the nuances of this vibrant art form. The limited edition "Cruiser-Red" is more than a mere expression; it is a physical embodiment of the artist's message, a medium through which GATS communicates his worldview. In owning a piece like the "Cruiser-Red," collectors hold a snapshot of the artist's narrative, a piece of the conversation that GATS is having with the world through his art. It is an ever-evolving narrative, much like the streets from which it was born and the culture it represents. In the realm of street pop art & graffiti artwork, GATS' "Cruiser - -Red" is a landmark creation. It encapsulates the essence of street art – its vibrancy, immediacy, and ability to convey profound messages in the most unexpected places. Through works like the "Cruiser-Red," the conversation about what art can be and where it can exist continues, as does the legacy of artists who dare to make their marks on the world.
