Fish Original Hand Drawn Art Drawing on Framed Hand Deckled Aged Art Paper by Surreal Artist Naoto Hattori. 2012 Signed Original One-of-a-Kind Pencil/Graphite Drawing Framed Artwork Frame Size 8.5x8.5 Image Size 3x5 Custom Framed & Matted By Artist, Slight Scuffing To Frame Consistent to Age. The Artistic Journey of Naoto Hattori's Fish Original Drawing Naoto Hattori's unique contribution to the art world often finds a comfortable residence at the intersection of surrealism and street art. The 'Fish Original' hand-drawn art piece on framed hand-deckled aged art paper is a distinct representation of this artistic blend. Crafted in 2012, this original pencil/graphite drawing is a testament to Hattori's intricate style and ability to create depth and narrative within the confines of minimalist subject matter. The artwork, housed within a custom 8.5x8.5 inch frame, showcases an image size of 3x5 inches, offering a glimpse into the artist's surreal perspective through the lens of street pop art and graffiti artwork. This singular piece by Hattori is a signed, original, one-of-a-kind drawing showcasing monochromatic art's subtle yet powerful impact. The decision to create this work on hand-deckled aged art paper indicates Hattori's reverence for the textural qualities that the paper brings to the artwork. The deckled edges add an element of antiquity and an organic feel to the piece, enhancing the visual experience and complementing the simplicity of the subject—a single fish. The drawing, while straightforward in its representation, is imbued with a sense of motion and life, capturing the subject's essence with a delicate realism often associated with Hattori's work. Exploring the Nuances of Hattori's Surrealism in a Street Art Context The 'Fish Original' piece by Naoto Hattori is a subtle nod to the fluidity of street pop art and the evocative nature of graffiti artwork. While Hattori's work is primarily rooted in surrealism, the influences of street art are evident in the way he approaches his subjects. This drawing has a certain rawness and directness, qualities frequently celebrated in street art. The pencil work is precise, yet there is an undercurrent of freedom and spontaneity that aligns with the spirit of graffiti art. Custom framed and matted by the artist, the 'Fish Original' drawing reflects Hattori's hands-on approach to his art from inception to presentation. The slight scuffing on the frame, consistent with its age, adds character to the piece, suggesting a history beyond its visual content. This kind of patina often draws admirers of street art to such pieces, as it provides a rich and personal narrative. The scuffs are not flaws but marks of a journey, much like the weathered walls that serve as canvases in street art.  Street Pop Art, Graffiti Artwork, and the Intimacy of Small-Scale Works The world of street pop art and graffiti artwork is known for its boldness and large-scale visibility. However, pieces like Hattori's 'Fish Original' challenge this convention by bringing the intimacy of small-scale artwork into focus. Through this drawing, Hattori communicates that the essence of street pop art is not confined to size but is found in the authenticity and expressive power of the piece. Hattori's choice of framing and matting further personalizes the artwork, making it a complete piece that offers a narrative, much like street art, which often tells stories in the public domain. The 'Fish Original' by Naoto Hattori bridges the often disparate worlds of fine art and street art, marrying the intricacy of pencil drawing with the accessible, emotive drawing of street pop art. It exemplifies how art can transcend boundaries and speak to a diverse audience. This drawing, with its meticulous craftsmanship and the textured backdrop of aged paper, is a cherished piece in contemporary art, offering a moment of contemplation and connection in the bustling dialogue of street pop art and graffiti artwork. It stands as a beacon of the potential that lies in the fusion of different artistic disciplines, as seen through the visionary eyes of Naoto Hattori.

The Windbeast Artwork Giclee Limited Edition Fine Art Print on 100% Cotton Hahnemühle Museum Etching Paper by Pop Culture Graffiti Artist Victo Ngai. 2014 Signed & Numbered Limited edition of 100 Artwork Size 13x19. Due to how this artwork was made and stored by the artist, many of Ngai's older prints contain slight yellowing to the extreme upper and lower white margin that extends about 1mm. This does not effect the image at all and the prints are perfect besides this. Victo Ngai's "The Windbeast" - A Confluence of Myth and Modernity "The Windbeast" by Victo Ngai, a striking piece of modern pop culture art, is a limited edition giclée print that is a vibrant testament to the fusion of traditional mythological themes with contemporary art styles. Created on 100% cotton Hahnemühle Museum Etching Paper, this artwork offers a lush texture that fits the rich narrative and visual complexity it presents. Victo Ngai, a renowned illustrator based in the United States, originally from Hong Kong, is celebrated for her intricate and thought-provoking illustrations that often incorporate elements of fantastical realism. Visual Symphony on Cotton Canvas In "The Windbeast," Ngai weaves an intricate tableau rich with cultural references and brimming with movement. The artwork, a cornucopia of vivid colors and whimsical imagery, features a central figure that could be interpreted as a mythical beast or a dragon — a nod to traditional Asian folklore. Swirling around this central figure are more miniature scenes and elements that seem to be at once a part of the creature and a separate narrative altogether. The use of 100% cotton Hahnemühle Museum Etching Paper heightens the piece's visual impact, as its fine grain and texture add depth and richness to the print that might be absent in other mediums. Ngai's choice of material is notable not only for its quality but also for its historical connection to the art world. Hahnemühle is one of the oldest papermakers in Europe, known for its high-quality art papers, and their Museum Etching Paper is designed specifically for artists who wish to reproduce their work with the same depth and detail as the original. By selecting such a distinguished canvas for her work, Ngai bridges the gap between digital illustration and traditional printmaking, underscoring the artistry in creating her work. "The Windbeast" in the Context of Street Pop Art and Graffiti While "The Windbeast" might be considered a departure from the raw, uncurated nature of street art and graffiti, its essence captures the spirit of these art forms. Street pop art and graffiti are characterized by their vibrancy, accessibility, and the way they often draw from various influences to make relevant statements to contemporary culture. Ngai's work aligns with these principles through its dynamic composition, engagement with folklore, and relevance to modern narratives of identity and globalization. The vivid, swirling colors and fantastical elements in "The Windbeast" resonate with street art's boldness and improvisational energy. The intricate details and narrative complexity parallel the layers of meaning often found in graffiti artwork, where each piece serves as a palimpsest of ideas and expressions. Ngai's print could easily be imagined as a large mural on the side of a building, engaging passersby with its otherworldly beauty and intricate storytelling. Conclusion: Victo Ngai's Artistic Fusion In sum, "The Windbeast" is a fine example of how traditional and modern elements can be synthesized to create timeless and contemporary art. Through her artwork, Victo Ngai contributes to the cultural dialogue, blending the mythical with the modern and the Eastern with the Western, creating pieces that reflect our multifaceted world. The limited edition nature of this print — with only 100 copies signed and numbered by the artist — adds an element of exclusivity that is often sought after in both the worlds of fine art and street art collectibles. This exclusivity, coupled with the artwork's rich narrative and visual appeal, makes "The Windbeast" a coveted piece for collectors and enthusiasts of modern pop culture, street pop, and graffiti artwork. It is a testament to Victo Ngai's prowess as an artist capable of capturing viewers' imagination, transporting them to worlds where myth and reality merge.

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
