    Covid No 19- Orange Limited Edition Archival Pigment Print on 290gsm MOAB Fine Art Paper by Graffiti Pop Art and Street Artist Denial. Orange Covid19 Chanel Hand Sanitizer Virus Variant. Numbered, Signed, Stamped on Reverse. Edition of 19 Archival Pigment Print on MOAB Fine Art Paper 290 GSM Size 18" x 24" 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.

  • Pandemonium Silkscreen Print by TOMO77 x Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Shepard Fairey- OBEY Pandemonium Silkscreen Print by TOMO77 x Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Pandemonium Silkscreen Print by TOMO77 x Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork Obey Pop Culture Artist. 2021 Signed by TOMO77 & Shepard Fairey & Numbered Limited Edition of 300 Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print "TOMO77 has documented a period marked by isolation and confusion, from the earliest anxious days of the pandemic through more than a year of political and social unrest. Amid this graphic testimony of uncertainty, uproar, and division, TOMO77 leaves us with one question: Where do we want to go from here?" -Shepard Fairey- OBEY. The collaborative work of TOMO77 and Shepard Fairey in the "Pandemonium" silkscreen print profoundly represents the tumultuous period that marked the early 2020s. This limited edition piece, hand-pulled with four colors on cream speckletone fine art paper, stands as a cultural artifact, encapsulating the essence of street pop art and graffiti artwork. Signed by both TOMO77 and Shepard Fairey, the artwork is part of a limited run of 300, each piece numbered, indicating its value and scarcity. The artwork's dimensions, 18x24 inches, provide a substantial canvas for the intricate designs and stark contrasts that have become hallmarks of both artists. TOMO77's contribution to this piece is particularly poignant, as his work often grapples with themes of human behavior, social upheaval, and the influence of capitalism, especially within the context of an immigrant lens. The "Pandemonium" print reflects these themes, addressing the global disarray and introspection during significant societal and political unrest. Shepard Fairey's partnership with TOMO77 on this project enhances the narrative potency of the piece, as Fairey's legacy in street art and activism art adds depth to the print's conceptual framework. Through their combined efforts, "Pandemonium" becomes more than just an artwork; it is a visual question posed to the audience, challenging them to consider the direction of human progress in times of crisis. The print represents the artist's technical prowess and commitment to using art for reflection and potential change.

  • Just Future Rising Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Shepard Fairey- OBEY Just Future Rising Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Just Future Rising 4-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Fine Speckletone Art Paper by Shepard Fairey Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist. 2021 Signed & Numbered, Just Future Rising 18 inches by 24 inches Edition of 450 June 23, 2021 "I created for the Time “VOTE” cover just before the 2020 election. At the time, I wanted to address the very unique situation we were in as a country as we faced the Covid-19 pandemic, unrest around police brutality and racial discrimination, voter suppression, and intense political division. We are still facing all of those things, though the development of Covid vaccines has significantly improved public safety and benefitted the fight to end the pandemic. In this illustration, the usually clear-cut rebel symbol of a bandana covering a face takes on a different meaning during Covid, becoming an emblem of safety, respect for one’s fellow citizens, and a sign that the wearer believes in science." -Shepard Fairey The "Just Future Rising" is a striking silkscreen print by Shepard Fairey, an artist renowned for his profound impact on street and pop art through the OBEY series. This limited edition artwork, measuring 18 by 24 inches, was released on June 23, 2021, in a numbered series of 450 pieces. Each print is hand-pulled, utilizing four colors on fine speckle tone paper, highlighting Fairey's signature style that merges art with social commentary. This piece is an extension of his engagement with contemporary issues, as it initially accompanied the Time magazine “VOTE” cover crafted in the lead-up to the 2020 election. Fairey's work consistently echoes themes of political activism and cultural critique, and "Just Future Rising" is a vivid representation of that ethos. The image reflects the turbulent climate of its creation: a nation grappling with the COVID-19 pandemic, societal upheaval stemming from racial injustice, the challenges to democracy through voter suppression, and deep-seated political polarization. In this print, the image of a woman with a bandana covering her face symbolizes a multifaceted narrative—transforming a traditional sign of rebellion into a symbol of safety and solidarity in the face of a public health crisis. The bandana, adorned with intricate patterns, carries a badge that reads "The Future is Unwritten," reinforcing the message that change is possible and the future is in the hands of the people. Fairey's choice to depict the bandana, a classic rebel icon, as a protective mask denotes a profound shift in cultural symbols due to the pandemic. It reflects a respect for science and an acknowledgment of the collective effort required to navigate the crisis. The artwork transcends mere aesthetics, embodying the message that caring for one's community and being considerate of public health are now acts of rebellion in their own right. This resonates deeply with the artist's long-standing commitment to using his craft to support social and political change. In the portfolio of Shepard Fairey's creations, "Just Future Rising" is not just a piece of pop artwork; it is a cultural artifact born out of an era defined by upheaval and a call to action. It stands as a reminder of the power of art to influence discourse, inspire action, and reflect the complexities of the human experience in times of adversity.

Virus Covid 19 Graffiti Street Pop Artwork

Viral Imagery in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork

When the topic of viruses infiltrates the realm of street pop art and graffiti artwork, it often carries a weight that transcends biological implications, embedding itself into society's cultural and social fabric. Street artists have, for decades, utilized the symbol of the virus to represent ideas of contagion beyond the literal, spreading messages as swiftly and potently as any pathogen. In the hands of a street artist, the image of a virus becomes a metaphor for spreading ideas, a tool for social commentary, or a critique of how information, trends, and even fear can increase in a society. This is especially palpable in urban environments where the high visibility of street art ensures the rapid dissemination of its intended message, akin to the infectious spread of a biological virus. As a subject in street pop art, the virus often takes on a stylized aesthetic, sometimes with vibrant colors and bold outlines, other times with a more sinister edge, alluding to its ominous implications.

Sociopolitical Commentary through Viral Street Art

The integration of viral motifs in street pop art frequently surfaces during sociopolitical unrest or health crises, as artists take to the streets to reflect the populace's mood. The artistic representations can vary from literal depictions of viruses to more abstract interpretations, symbolizing the pervasive nature of particular ideologies or social phenomena. In this context, a virus becomes a powerful symbol of the moment, capturing the unease, the uncertainty, and sometimes the resilience of the human spirit in the face of widespread challenges. Graffiti artists like Banksy have incorporated viral elements to underscore issues such as consumerism, surveillance, and inequality. The viral aspect often symbolizes how quickly these societal issues can spread and affect populations, suggesting a need for awareness and a call to action. The anonymity and speed with which graffiti art appears to mirror the stealth and swiftness of a viral outbreak, making the medium a metaphor for viral spread.

Street Art as a Cultural Virus

Beyond serving as a symbol for commentary, street pop art and graffiti act as cultural viruses, utilizing the strategies of replication and mutation to evolve and adapt to new environments. As a biological virus attaches to a host cell, street art latches onto public spaces, replicates through the sharing of images, and mutates as it is interpreted and reinterpreted by diverse audiences. This viral nature of street art is amplified in the digital age, where millions can instantly share and see a single piece of artwork, its impact magnified, and its lifespan extended far beyond that of its physical existence. Street art can go 'viral' online in hours, its message increasing through social media platforms, reaching an audience vast in size and scope. The artists behind such works, from Keith Haring's iconic figures to Shepard Fairey's Obey Giant campaign, understand the power of this virality. They craft their images to hook the viewer's attention and deliver a message that sticks, replicating how a virus implants itself into a host. Whether commenting on political issues, human rights, environmental concerns, or the art world, these artists ensure their work is infectious metaphorically, engaging the public consciousness and spreading their vision far and wide. To discuss street pop art and graffiti artwork in terms of viruses is to recognize the potent potential of visual art to affect minds and hearts, to spread from one person to another, carrying with it ideas that challenge, inspire, and provoke. Whether through a stenciled image hastily sprayed onto an alleyway wall or a meticulously planned mural covering the side of a building, the artist's plant seeds can flourish into movements, changing the landscape of our physical and mental environments. The art becomes a carrier of messages, a catalyst for change, and a beacon for collective experience, embodying the very characteristics of the viral entities it often depicts.
