    Jeff Gillette Mickey Hiroshima Archival Print by Jeff Gillette

    Mickey Hiroshima Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints on 290gsm Moab Fine Art Rag Paper by Jeff Gillette Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2013 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 30 Size 14x9 "I am from the suburbs of Detroit, Michigan. In the late 1980s, I was a Peace Corps volunteer in Nepal for two years. During this two-year stint, I visited every major city in India, finding myself exploring the huge slums found there. On my return home, I moved from the Mid-West to escape the snow to teach High School Art in Orange County, California. Since finishing my MFA at Cal State Fullerton, I have been exhibiting in galleries both at home and abroad. My work is most often landscapes. A major portion of my output is paintings of slums of the developing world, where I often add an element of western cultural privilege (and oblivion) into settings of urban blight. Inspiration for what I call “Slumscapes” comes from the first-hand experience of traveling. Most often I return over and over to my favorite destination: India. In the vast poverty-stricken fringes of its vast megalopolises, I trip out on how the economic disparities are obscenely extreme. I’ve been spending a lot of time in Mumbai slums: photographing, filming, creating Plein Aire paintings, and creating interactive street art. Besides depicting slums, my artwork portrays post-apocalyptic debris fields, landfills, and detritus-cluttered deserts. The Juxtaposition of Disney themes and beloved characters (i.e.: Mickey Mouse) with all these dystopias best conveys my personal views. Pondering contemporary social, political, economical and philosophical conundrums, I can’t help but feel absurdly helpless, pessimistic and humored about the future of Western Civilization…" - Jeff Gillette

Sonic Bad's portrayal invites reflection on how innocence and playfulness can be corrupted by societal control and violence. Crafting Commentary on Canvas and Metal The choice of a metal street sign as the canvas for "Snoopy Bad INC" is particularly resonant, suggesting a subversion of authority and a claim to the public space typically dictated by such signs. Sonic Bad's adaptation of the sign, a symbol designed to regulate and warn, into a piece of art underscores a reclaiming of agency, turning a tool of control into a medium for free expression. The use of mixed media in "Snoopy Bad INC" highlights Sonic Bad's versatility as an artist. Spray paint, a staple in graffiti art, brings an urban feel to the work. At the same time, incorporating other media adds texture and depth, creating a piece that is visually arresting and thought-provoking. The artwork stands as a testament to the power of street art to transform everyday objects and icons into profound statements.

TV Television Graffiti Street Pop Art

Television's Imprint on Street Pop Art & Graffiti

Since its inception, television has been a dominant cultural force, its screen a mirror reflecting, shaping, and sometimes distorting the society that tunes into its daily broadcasts. In the realm of street pop art and graffiti artwork, TV has carved its niche not merely as a medium for entertainment but as a rich source of inspiration and a canvas for commentary. Artists have co-opted the imagery and iconography of television, using it to critique our media-saturated environment. The TV set itself, with its classic box shape and antenna, has become a symbolic feature in many street artworks, symbolizing the pervasive influence of mass media on public consciousness.

Cultural Commentary Through Urban Mediums

The portrayal of television in street art often carries with it a duality; on the one hand, it represents the collective memories and shared experiences of generations raised in front of its glow. On the other hand, it is depicted as a tool of propaganda, a peddler of consumerism, and a shaper of reality that can lead to a passive, controlled society. Street artists utilize the television motif to discuss issues such as the loss of individuality, the manipulation of news, and the passivity of modern-day viewership. The medium of street art, known for its provocative and rebellious undertones, becomes an ironic choice for depicting television, as it traditionally serves as a counter-narrative to mainstream channels.

The Evolution of Television in Street Art

As television technology has evolved from the bulky cathode-ray tubes to the sleek flat screens of today, so has its representation in street pop art. The older television sets evoke nostalgia, a longing for simpler times. At the same time, modern screens can be seen as symbols of rapid technological changes and the continuous consumption of digital content. Graffiti artists and muralists alike have painted televisions with reverence and criticism, underscoring the device's role as a central fixture in daily life and as a mediator of the information flowing into the public sphere. The fusion of television themes with street art aesthetics also speaks to the power of visual communication. Just as television has been used to convey messages to a broad audience, street art captures the gaze of passersby, offering an unfiltered, often unsanctioned expression that might otherwise be censored on mainstream media. This makes the street wall a public television that broadcasts the community's diverse voices and talents. Street pop art and graffiti artwork that incorporate television challenge viewers to reconsider their relationship with the media they consume. By bringing the indoors out and plastering private consumption onto public walls, artists remind us of the communal roots of storytelling and the shared experiences that television can facilitate. Yet, they also ask us to be critical of the content that shapes our perceptions and to seek out our narratives in a world where reality and fiction are often intertwined on the small screen. Through this lens, television-themed street art connects to a common cultural thread and a disruption, encouraging individual thought and engagement in the urban landscape.
