Dangerous When Wet Slap-Up Label Sticker Original Tag Art by Saber Original Permanent Marker Art Drawing on Glossy Flame Sticker by Graffiti Artist Modern Street Artwork. 2020 Signed Original Slap Up Graffiti Art Tag 4x4 Marker Tagged on Dangerous When Wet Label Uline S-176 Sticker. Slap Up In Perfect Condition. Challenging Conventions with Street Pop Art The "Dangerous When Wet Label Uline S-176 Sticker" series, created by the renowned graffiti artist Saber, whose birth name is Ryan Weston Shook, stands as a compelling intersection of street art innovation and cautionary messaging. Saber's 2020 collection of 4x4 marker-tagged artworks embodies the essence of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork, repurposing warning labels meant to signify potential danger into canvases that question and provoke thought about the inherent risks in our daily lives and the nature of perceived threats. Fluidity and Permanence in Saber's Art The warning labels Saber selects are traditionally designed to alert individuals of the immediate physical dangers of substances that react with water. However, by incorporating his signature tag into these labels, Saber invites a dialogue on the fluidity of art and its ability to leave a permanent mark on both the physical and cultural landscapes. Through tagging, these stickers, which once served a single helpful purpose, are now transformed into a statement on the juxtaposition of danger and beauty, impermanence and endurance. This speaks to the heart of graffiti's ethos – creating art that can withstand the elements, much like the substances the original labels warn against. Saber and the Assertion of Artistic Presence Each signed original slap-up graffiti art tag is a declaration of presence, asserting the artist's voice in a reserved space for warnings and prohibitions. The choice of the 'Dangerous When Wet' sticker is especially resonant in the year it was created, a year fraught with global challenges where the metaphorical concept of being 'dangerous when wet' could be extended to the idea of ideas, movements, and expressions that gain momentum and power when combined with the elements of social and political change. In exploring this theme, Saber utilizes the language of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork to navigate the complexities of communication in public spaces. His work demands recognition for its aesthetic appeal and its ability to engage with and transform the messages embedded within our environments. As a respected figure in street art, Saber continues to push the boundaries of how art can interact with and alter the fabric of society. Each piece he creates is not just an artwork; it is a challenge, a question, and a statement rolled into one, symbolic of the power and potential of street art to recontextualize and redefine the symbols surrounding us.
