  • Revolution Is a Mother Who Eats Its Children Bone Tondo Silkscreen Print by Cleon Peterson

    Cleon Peterson Revolution Is a Mother Who Eats Its Children Bone Tondo Silkscreen Print by Cleon Peterson

    Revolution Is a Mother Who Eats Its Children Bone Tondo Silkscreen Print by Cleon Peterson on Hand Deckled Circle Cut 290gsm Coventry Rag Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork. 2024 Signed & Numbered Cleon Peterson Limited Edition of 100 Artwork Size 24x24 Circle Cut Silkscreen Print. Exploring the Circular Narrative: Cleon Peterson's 'Revolution Is a Mother' "Revolution Is a Mother Who Eats Its Children Bone Tondo," a silkscreen print by Cleon Peterson, encapsulates a poignant message through its unique circular format. The 2024 limited edition, with only 100 signed and numbered prints, dramatically portrays the revolution's cyclic and often self-destructive nature. This artwork, sized at 24x24 inches, is meticulously crafted on hand-deckled circle cut 290gsm Coventry Rag fine art paper, highlighting the contrast between the piece's delicate presentation and its powerful content. Symbolism in Cleon Peterson's Tondo The tondo, a round piece of art, has a rich history dating back to the Renaissance and is often used to symbolize perfection or the divine. Peterson's adaptation of this format into street pop art and graffiti artwork is an inventive means of capturing the perpetual motion of conflict and societal upheaval. The circular frame compels the viewer's eye to move continuously around the image, echoing the cyclical and repetitive nature of the struggles depicted within. While bearing the starkness of Peterson's characteristic black-and-white palette, the print gains a new dimension through its shape, emphasizing the never-ending cycle of revolution and its consequences. The figures within the tondo engage in acts of violence and dominance, with no clear beginning or end, a poignant metaphor for the often unending turmoil of societal change. The Cultural Resonance of Peterson's Work Cleon Peterson's work stands at the crossroads of cultural reflection and artistic expression. "Revolution Is a Mother Who Eats Its Children Bone Tondo" is an artistic creation and a commentary on the nature of social movements and the recurring patterns of history. Peterson confronts the viewer with the paradox of revolution: it is both necessary for evolution and destructive by nature. This tondo silkscreen print contributes to the ongoing dialogue about the role of street pop art in modern discourse. Much like the street artists and graffiti artists before him, Peterson utilizes public forms of expression to comment on private pains and societal dilemmas. The limited edition nature of this work, along with the artist's renown, ensures that this piece will hold its place in contemporary art conversation for years to come. Cleon Peterson's "Revolution Is a Mother Who Eats Its Children Bone Tondo" is a compelling portrayal of the perpetual nature of social upheaval. It serves as a stark reminder of revolution's transformative yet often destructive power. This limited edition silkscreen print encapsulates the essence of street pop art and graffiti artwork, melding historical, artistic formats with contemporary themes to provoke thought, encourage reflection, and challenge the viewer's perspective on the cycles of change.

Both artists, distinct in their style and impact on the urban art scene, decided to come together for a limited edition release that drew attention from collectors and enthusiasts alike. This exceptional partnership resulted in the creation of the " David with Machine Gun" silkscreen print, an artwork that expertly fuses their individual artistic sensibilities. Hand-pulled on fine art paper, the artwork's exclusivity is highlighted by its limited edition – a mere 100 prints, each meticulously signed and numbered by the artists themselves. The piece measures 18x24 inches, making it a substantial representation of their combined artistry. What makes this collaboration even more intriguing is its connection to Blek le Rat's solo exhibition at Subliminal Projects titled "Art is Not Peace." The print is a visual interpretation of Sybille Prou’s photographs of Blek Le Rat's iconic street art. These photographs served as an inspiration, capturing the raw energy and aesthetic of urban art that both artists have dedicated their careers to championing. The blending of Shepard Fairey's graphic style with the subtlety and nuance of Blek le Rat’s stencil work is a testament to the transformative power of collaborative art. It not only speaks volumes about the evolution of street and pop art but also stands as a significant memento of a pivotal moment in contemporary art history.

    Shepard Fairey- OBEY War By Numbers VSE OG Colorway HPM Stencil Shepard Fairey x Ernesto Yerena Montejano x Hecho Con Ganas x Obey

    War By Numbers VSE- OG Colorway Variable Stencil Edition Acrylic Artwork on Hand Deckled Fine Art Paper by Street Artists Shepard Fairey x Ernesto Yerena Montejano x Hecho Con Ganas x Obey. 2022 War By Numbers VSE- OG Colorway 20x26.5 inches. Signed & Numbered Ultra Rare Edition of 14. Variable Stencil Edition (VSE) on Paper. Signed by Shepard Fairey, Hecho Con Ganas publishing chop in the lower-left corner. "Created during the Iraq war, but the quest for peace requires perpetual vigilance, and the current invasion of Ukraine is a reminder of the brutality of war. The “War By Numbers” image is a statement about not becoming desensitized by war to the extent that it becomes as banal as a paint-by-numbers image. The “Peace Elephant” is an appeal to our sense of Karma and harmony with the world around us." - Shepard Fairey A profound intersection of artistry and activism emerges in "War By Numbers VSE- OG Colorway," an emblematic piece presented by the collaborative brilliance of Shepard Fairey, Ernesto Yerena Montejano, Hecho Con Ganas, and Obey. Showcased on meticulously hand-deckled fine art paper, this 20x26.5 inch artwork not only exemplifies the prowess of its creators but also delves deeply into the social and political fabric of contemporary global scenarios. Dated 2022, this piece holds the distinction of being an ultra-rare Variable Stencil Edition (VSE) on paper, with only 14 such editions in existence, each one thoughtfully signed and numbered. Notably, the presence of the Hecho Con Ganas publishing chop in the lower-left corner augments its authenticity and intrinsic value. While the artwork itself is a marvel of color interplay and design, its underlying message is both timeless and urgent. Shepard Fairey's own words elucidate the motivation behind its creation, highlighting its inception during the Iraq war. Yet, its resonance extends beyond that particular conflict. The piece emerges as an enduring reminder of the costs of warfare, particularly with the poignant backdrop of the recent Ukraine invasion. Fairey astutely draws attention to the dangers of becoming inured to the horrors of conflict, suggesting that society must never allow war's devastation to become as commonplace and mundane as a paint-by-numbers image. This sentiment is further emphasized by the inclusion of the "Peace Elephant," symbolizing the universal aspiration for harmony and an appeal to humanity's collective conscience. In the vast realm of pop art, street art, and graffiti, "War By Numbers" stands as a testament to art's ability to transcend aesthetic appeal, challenging viewers to confront and engage with the world's most pressing issues.

    Cleon Peterson Promised Land Day Silkscreen Print by Cleon Peterson

    Promised Land Day Silkscreen Print by Cleon Peterson Hand-Pulled 2-Color Screen Print on 290gsm Coventry Rag Paper Hand DeckledLimited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. 2023 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 75 Artwork Size 24x24 Renowned for his striking and confrontational style, Cleon Peterson is an artist whose work brings to life the undercurrents of societal strife and conflict. Known for his vivid depictions of brutal scenes that reflect a world in chaos, Peterson is widely recognized as a significant figure in the realms of pop art, street art, and graffiti art. His work often provides a haunting mirror to societal tensions, rendering them visually captivating through the stark contrast between light and dark, order and chaos, violence and peace. One piece that exemplifies this distinctive style is his "Promised Land Night" silkscreen print. True to Peterson's style, the work explores the darker facets of human nature in a dichromatic palette - typically a stark contrast of black and white or, in this case, dark navy blue and white. It showcases figures engaged in what appears to be a chaotic, violent struggle, as a symbol of the perpetual conflict and power dynamics within societies. Despite its seemingly bleak narrative, the composition carries an undeniable magnetism, skillfully drawing the viewer in. The silkscreen print method, known for its bold, crisp lines and the ability to create vibrant, flat areas of color, serves Peterson's style perfectly. It underscores the harsh narrative of his work while simultaneously highlighting the meticulous detail of his composition. Each figure, while entangled in the wider chaos, holds its narrative, rendering the piece a compelling visual exploration of societal unrest. The "Promised Land Night" speaks volumes of Peterson's vision of the world – not shying away from harsh realities, but rather confronting and examining them through his artwork. With the ever-present contrast between the stark visual style and the dark themes, Peterson positions himself firmly in the continuum of pop and street art, challenging viewers to consider the depths of human nature and societal structures. It is through such bold pieces that Cleon Peterson cements his place in contemporary art, forever pushing boundaries and igniting necessary conversations about society and its structures.

Limited edition of 125 The visuality of Cleon Peterson's work is based on a variety of influences, from ancient Greek pottery to comics, resulting in monochromacy and strong color symbolism. In more detail, the figures exist on multiple straight lines, something that, subsequently, creates the illusion that the artwork is divided in levels. The perspective and the impression of depth do moderately exist in the art of Peterson and, just like in Greek vases, the background space is usually left empty or slightly embellished.

    Jeff Gillette Art in Action Lichtenstein Archival Print by Jeff Gillette

    Art in Action- Lichtenstein Archival Pigment Fine Art Limited Edition Print on 290gsm Moab Entrada Paper by Artist Jeff Gillette, Street Pop Art Graffiti Legend. 2022 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 100 Archival Pigment Print on 290gsm Moab Entrada Fine Art Paper Artwork Size 16x20 "Art in Action" is a stimulating archival pigment fine art limited edition print by the street pop art graffiti legend Jeff Gillette. Manifested on 290gsm Moab Entrada fine art paper, this captivating work of art, sized at 16x20 inches, encapsulates the dynamic intersection of pop art sensibility with the raw, energetic essence of street art. Signed and numbered in a limited edition of just 100 pieces in 2022, this print infuses Gillette's gritty, critical eye into the colorful, bold graphics reminiscent of Roy Lichtenstein's iconic style. Gillette's work is characterized by a juxtaposition of the whimsical and the frail, often contrasting Disney-like imagery with dystopian environments, thereby creating a thought-provoking dialogue on consumerism, culture, and the underlying narratives of society. His "Art in Action" piece is a perfect illustration of this theme. The visual pop art allusion in print, which reflects Lichtenstein's famed comic strip-inspired art, is cleverly subverted by Gillette's infusion of a street-wise attitude, adding a layer of satire and commentary to the vibrant explosions and comic book aesthetics that defined a generation's art. The explosive "WHAM!" in the backdrop directly nods to Lichtenstein's style. Yet, Gillette ensures his interpretation stands distinct, inviting contemplation on the implications of such imagery in a world far removed from the innocuous panels of mid-century comic books. This artwork's inclusion of the chaotic character figures provides a stark, reflective contrast to the clean, mechanized precision of Lichtenstein's work, suggesting a deeper narrative beneath the surface gloss of pop culture. By merging the techniques and finish of fine art prints with the visceral impact of street and graffiti art, Gillette bridges two worlds often seen in contrast. His work doesn't just hang on a gallery wall; it invokes the street-level engagement and societal critique that is the hallmark of the most impactful graffiti art. Collectors and enthusiasts of this genre will find "Art in Action" a thought-provoking addition to their collection, offering a piece that is as conversation-starting as it is aesthetically compelling.

    Pattern of Corruption Black Gold AP Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY x Cleon Peterson Artist Proof Hand-Pulled 2-Color Screen Print on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Graffiti Pop Street Artwork. AP Artist Proof 2015 Signed & AP Marked Original Run Limited Edition of 150 Artwork Size 18x24 Repeating Image of Tribal Man With Bloody Knife and Lotus Flower Vine Pattern Silkscreen "Cleon Peterson and I recently collaborated on a mural in Miami’s Wynwood district and were happy enough with the end result to decide to make some limited edition screen prints inspired by the mural. Cleon and I both deal with the persistent themes of the fragility of society, human savagery, and corruption in our work. The image has a dichotomy in its hypnotic classical floral pattern with sinister elements woven into it, which caution the viewer to look deeper than an appealing surface presentation." - SHepard Fairey "Pattern of Corruption Black Gold" is a striking representation of the collaboration between two giants of the street art world, Shepard Fairey, best known for his OBEY campaign, and Cleon Peterson. As an AP Silkscreen print, this piece emphasizes the hand-crafted nature of their work, a detail that resonates deeply with enthusiasts of street and pop art. Shepard Fairey's iconic art has always challenged societal norms, provoking viewers to consider underlying complexities and contradictions present in contemporary society. Cleon Peterson, with his depictions of chaotic human interactions, similarly forces viewers to grapple with the darker underbelly of humanity. The inspiration behind this piece emerged from the mural the duo worked on together in Miami’s Wynwood district, a place renowned for its vibrant street art scene. It's evident in the AP Silkscreen print how their artistic styles and messages seamlessly intertwine. The meticulous detail of a tribal man brandishing a bloody knife juxtaposed with the lotus flower vine pattern invites introspection on the duality of human nature. The combination of tribal motifs with classical floral patterns not only alludes to a blending of the traditional with the contemporary but also serves as a cautionary tale. The surface beauty of the design may lure the viewer in, but as Fairey himself mentioned, the sinister undertones remind us to delve deeper and question the allure. A limited-edition release, with only 150 prints available, the artwork has achieved heightened significance among collectors and enthusiasts. The hand-pulled, two-color screen print on fine art paper stands as a testament to the dedication of the artists to their craft. The "Pattern of Corruption Black Gold" is not merely an artwork; it's a poignant commentary on society's fragility and the ever-present themes of corruption and human savagery, themes that both Fairey and Peterson have consistently explored in their works.

  • AK-47 Lotus- Large Format Serigraph Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Shepard Fairey- OBEY AK-47 Lotus- Large Format Serigraph Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    AK-47 Lotus- Large Format Limited Edition Hand Pulled 4-Color Serigraph Print on Custom Cotton Coventry Rag Paper by Graffiti Street Artist Shepard Fairey. 2022 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 100 Artwork Size 30x41 In the rich tapestry of modern art, the AR-15 Lily serigraph by Shepard Fairey holds a distinct place. A contemporary masterpiece, this large-format print, sized at an impressive 30x41, is a testament to Fairey's impeccable craftsmanship and profound insight into social issues. A product of the year 2022, the AR-15 Lily, alongside its counterpart, the AK-47 Lotus, reflects Fairey's inspiration from the iconic Vietnam War protesters. These brave souls, in a symbolic gesture of peace, would insert flowers into the gun barrels of the National Guard, who were present to curtail their passionate calls for peace. Shepard Fairey, a renowned graffiti street artist, is known for intertwining pop culture, street art, and pressing social issues in his works, and this piece is no exception. His choice of a 4-color serigraph technique for this limited edition of 100 pieces exudes exclusivity and class. The print, meticulously crafted on Custom Cotton Coventry Rag Paper, evokes feelings of nostalgia and the age-old conflict between violence and peace. Fairey’s perspective, as he expresses, is deeply pacifistic. His work is not just an artistic expression but a call for diplomacy and harmony, both on international terrains and domestic fronts. While he does not challenge the Second Amendment, his emphasis is on reducing unnecessary deaths due to gun violence. In a world where the lines between art and activism often blur, Fairey's commitment to supporting causes shines through. A portion of the proceeds from this artwork, for instance, aids Brady United, an organization dedicated to preventing gun violence. The AR-15 Lily is not just a piece of art; it's a bold statement, a call for reflection, and a testament to Fairey’s unwavering commitment to promoting peace. "The AK-47 Lotus and AR-15 Lily large format serigraphs are inspired by Vietnam War protesters who would put flowers in the gun barrels of the National Guard who were brought in to suppress their protests for peace. I’m a pacifist, whether that means finding diplomatic solutions to prevent and avoid war internationally or finding diplomatic solutions to prevent and avoid gun violence at home. I’m not anti- Second Amendment, so trolls can calm down… I’m not interested in macho blathering, I just want fewer people to die unnecessarily. Brady United is doing good work preventing gun violence so they will receive a portion of proceeds from these two prints. Thanks for caring.⁠" -Shepard Fairey

Jacob Borshard's "The Fire Swamp" is a remarkable representation of modern Pop Art, deeply rooted in the narrative-driven ethos of street art and graffiti. This limited edition silkscreen print, produced in 2012, brings to life the iconic scene from the cult classic film "The Princess Bride," featuring the characters Westley and Buttercup in the perilous Fire Swamp. It's a visually striking piece, utilizing a 5-color hand-pulled process on fine art paper, emphasizing the vivid storytelling and dramatic hues of the original scene. The artwork measures 16x24 inches, an intimate and commanding size, allowing the intricate details and layers of color to be fully appreciated. Limited to only 100 signed and numbered editions, "The Fire Swamp" presents a unique collectible for film, pop culture, and fine art enthusiasts. Borshard's creation is not just a mere reproduction; it is a creative interpretation that bridges the worlds of cinema and visual art through the lens of street-inspired aesthetics. Borshard, although not traditionally known as a graffiti artist, channels the spirit of graffiti's immediacy and its role as a public communicator through this piece. The characters are rendered with a stylized realism that nods to the roots of Pop Art, while the surrounding swamp is imbued with the complex, layered textures one might find in a mural painted on a city wall. This blending of styles and mediums is characteristic of contemporary Street Pop Art, which often seeks to dismantle boundaries between 'high' and 'low' art forms, making art accessible and resonant for a wider audience. The print's narrative quality, a defining feature of Borshard's work, is heightened by the strategic use of color and form, creating depth and movement that draw the viewer into the scene. The art captures a moment of tension and adventure, encapsulating the essence of the film's story while inviting personal interpretation and connection. Collectors of "The Fire Swamp" acquire a piece of art and a fragment of cinematic history reimagined through the artistic process. Each print, with its certificate of authenticity, becomes a testament to the lasting impact of film on visual culture and the power of art to reinterpret and revitalize stories from our collective consciousness. This limited edition print is a vibrant example of how modern Pop Art, like street art that shares its roots, can encapsulate moments of shared cultural memory in visually stunning and emotionally compelling ways.

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

Weapon Graffiti Street Pop Art

Weaponry in the Crosshairs of Street Pop Art and Graffiti

The presence of weapons in street pop art and graffiti carries a hefty load of symbolism and controversy. The very image of a weapon – be it a gun, a knife, or any implement associated with violence – is fraught with socio-political connotations that street artists often leverage to provoke, comment, and sometimes shock their audience. These artists have taken the powerful imagery of weapons and infused it with layers of meaning, transforming them from mere objects of destruction into potent symbols of critique and reflection. Weapons have been a common motif in both graffiti art and pop art. In both graffiti art and pop art, using weapons can be a powerful way to convey a message and provoke a reaction from the viewer. However, it's important to note that the use of violent imagery can also be controversial and can raise questions about the role of art in society. Graffiti artists often use guns, knives, and grenades to convey a sense of danger or rebellion. For example, a spray-painted image of a weapon might be used to represent the power or aggression of a particular person or group. Some graffiti artists have also used weapons to convey a political message. For instance, a mural featuring an AK-47 rifle might be used to criticize the proliferation of guns in society or to express solidarity with a particular political cause. In some cases, graffiti artists have used weapons as a form of commentary on the violence and conflict in the world. For example, a mural featuring a grenade might be used to critique the destructive nature of war or to advocate for peace. Pop artists have also incorporated weapons into their artwork. For instance, Andy Warhol's "Gun" series features images of various firearms, including revolvers and pistols. Roy Lichtenstein's painting "Whaam!" depicts a fighter jet firing a missile, emphasizing the violence and chaos of war. Some pop artists have used weapons to satirize consumer culture or to comment on the commodification of violence. For example, Claes Oldenburg's "Giant BLT (Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato Sandwich)" features a knife skewering a sandwich, highlighting the absurdity of weaponizing everyday objects.

The Symbolic Arsenal of Street Art

Street artists have long employed the iconography of weapons to convey messages about power, conflict, and resistance. In their hands, weapons become a visual shorthand for a range of issues – from war and peace to crime and justice. Sometimes, the gun is depicted with stark realism, forcing those who encounter the piece to confront the realities of violence head-on. Other times, the weapon is abstracted or juxtaposed with unpredictable elements to create a sense of irony or to challenge the viewer's preconceptions. The use of firearms in graffiti art can directly reflect the artist's environment, where violence may be a daily reality. In cities plagued by crime and unrest, the appearance of weapon imagery in street art can mirror the community's experiences, a raw expression of the turmoil that residents may face. Conversely, in more peaceful or politically stable contexts, weapons in street art can serve as a jarring reminder of global conflicts, a call to action, or a protest against militarism and warfare.

Artists and the Weapon Motif

Some street artists have become particularly associated with the weapon motif, using it as a central theme to explore and challenge societal norms. These artists wield the weapon imagery with intention, repurposing it to critique the issues of aggression and oppression that such objects typically symbolize. The weapon becomes a tool not for violence but for its opposite – a plea for peace, a commentary on the human cost of conflict, or an ironic take on the glamorization of violence in media and culture. The weapon motif in street pop art and graffiti also confronts the viewer with questions about the role of force in justice and the dichotomy between societal order and personal liberty. Through these works, artists can spark discussions on topics that are often uncomfortable but necessary, such as gun control, police brutality, and the arms race. The art acts as a catalyst for dialogue and, at times, as a means to inspire change. The depiction of weapons in street pop art and graffiti transcends the mere representation of violence. These images serve as a vehicle for artists to engage with their audience on complex issues, question, condemn, and inspire. The weapon, with its inherent power and danger, becomes a paradoxical symbol of hope and transformation in the hands of street artists. As long as there are discussions to be had about power, conflict, and violence, weapons will undoubtedly continue to be a compelling and provocative element in the vocabulary of street pop art and graffiti.
