    Saber Health Hazards Slap-Up Label Sticker Original Tag Art by Saber

    Health Hazards Slap-Up Label Sticker Original Tag Art by Saber Original Permanent Marker Art Drawing on Mailing Glossy Warning Sticker by Graffiti Artist Modern Street Artwork. 2020 Signed Original Slap Up Graffiti Art Tag 4x4 Marker Tagged on Health Flammability Special Instability Hazard  Warning Label Uline S-724 Sticker.  Slap Up In Perfect Condition. Artistic Alchemy on Hazardous Grounds The transformation of ordinary objects into visual spectacles is a hallmark of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork. In this vein, the "Health Hazards Slap-Up Label Sticker" by Saber, real name Ryan Weston Shook, from the United States, stands out as a captivating fusion of warning label iconography and graffiti artistry. Created in 2020, these pieces symbolize how graffiti artists repurpose everyday items, such as health flammability and particular instability hazard warning label stickers, to make bold statements through art. Saber's original permanent marker art drawings on these glossy arrow stickers testify to the genre's ingenuity and ability to imbue commonplace materials with new life and meaning. Symbolism and Significance in Saber's Work Saber's art on hazard warning stickers is particularly poignant. The stickers' inherent message of caution and danger is juxtaposed with Saber's tags' freeform and expressive nature. This contrast is not merely aesthetic but symbolic, alluding perhaps to the inherent risks and hazards of graffiti creation. In the urban jungle, the graffiti artist is both a creator and a transgressor, and Saber's work captures this duality perfectly. The use of bright, contrasting colors over the hazard symbols does not obscure the warning but instead invites the viewer to reflect on the layers of meaning within the piece. Reflections of 2020 in Street Pop Art 2020 was not just another year in the annals of history but a turning point for societies worldwide. The original slap-up graffiti art tags on these health and hazard stickers by Saber reflect a year marked by global upheaval and a reevaluation of what is considered safe and dangerous. In his 4x4 marker-tagged creations, Saber captures the spirit of an era where the world grappled with health crises and societal instability. By signing each piece, Saber not only claims authorship but also anchors the artwork in time and place, offering a permanent marker — literally and figuratively — of a moment in time through the lens of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork.

  • Cacophony Laser Cut Acrylic Archival Print by Eddie Colla

    Eddie Colla Cacophony Laser Cut Acrylic Archival Print by Eddie Colla

    Cacophony Hand-Painted Multiple Archival Pigment Print on 3 Tiers of Laser-Cut Acrylic Panel ready to hang by Eddie Colla Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2020 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 25 Laser Cut Acrylic Artwork Size 18x18 "The Goldfish Girl was created almost a decade ago. I often revisit it, and she has been the longest continuing character I've created. I often write backstories for these characters to help me create the pieces, but they are generally never shared with the viewer. The Goldfish Girl was born in mainland China and raised mostly by a single father. Her mother passed away when she was 18 months old from cancer. She was often very ill as a child and was eventually diagnosed with a compromised immune system disorder, although a precise diagnosis was never given. This is the reason for always wearing the mask and gloves. Her father bred Goldfish for a living and taught her that trade as a kid. They worked side by side and rarely had visitors because of her condition. Often being extremely ill and also losing her mother made her childhood difficult. As most children do, she tried to find a reason for her misfortune, a reason for why all this had happened to her and her father. Eventually, she believed that her illness and her mother's cancer were punishment by nature. A curse for toying with nature by breeding goldfish. Eventually, her father passed away as well. Needing to make a living and also to taunt fate she illegally immigrated to Hong Kong. There is a famous goldfish market in Mong Kok on Tung Choi street, but it's commonly called goldfish street. With a compromised immune system the most dangerous thing to her was other people. As a challenge to fate, she moved to one of the most densely populated cities in the world. She got a stall on Tung Choi Street. This is her challenge, to taunt fate and win, becoming the master of her own fate. These images are vignettes of her life in Hong Kong. I've never given the character a name. Sometimes she is pictured with a boombox because music becomes a central companion to her mostly solitary life. In the piece Cacophony I wanted her to literally be surrounded by the city. In some way, I think I tried to create a character that embodied a lot of traits I aspire to. To remind me.” - Eddie Colla

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.
