Untitled From Crossroads Giclee Print by Alice Pasquini Artwork Limited Edition Print on 300gsm Baryta Fine Art Paper Graffiti Pop Street Artist. 2019 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 100 Artwork Size 13x17.83 The Artistic Essence of "Untitled From Crossroads" Alice Pasquini's "Untitled From Crossroads" is a giclée print that captures the essence of contemporary street pop art and graffiti artwork. As an acclaimed artist, Pasquini brings forward a piece that exemplifies her distinctive approach to art that has been honing the edges of street art and muralism. This limited edition print, with its vibrant figures and abstract forms, is a testament to her ability to communicate compelling narratives through her art. The artwork, a limited edition giclée print on 300gsm Baryta fine art paper, stands out for its textured appearance and depth of color, hallmarks of high-quality prints. The dimensions of the piece, 13x17.83 inches, offer a generous canvas for Pasquini to convey her vision. A limited run of 100 signed and numbered prints indicates this piece's exclusivity and collectible nature. The portrait centers on a female figure, a recurring subject in Pasquini's work, exuding a sense of contemplation and depth. Her gaze is piercing and tender, inviting viewers to ponder the thoughts behind those eyes. Visual Language and Symbolism Pasquini's use of vibrant and contrasting colors against the stark backdrop of the Baryta paper creates a captivating visual dichotomy. The fluidity and apparent spontaneity of the brushstrokes juxtapose with the deliberate intensity of the subject's eyes, creating a powerful focal point. This "Crossroads" collection piece symbolizes the intersection of lives and stories within the urban landscape, a crossroads of human experience. The artist's choice of a graffiti pop style infuses the work with an urban grittiness that is both raw and beautiful. Technical Proficiency and Medium The technique of producing a giclée print of this caliber is a modern marvel, bridging the gap between traditional printmaking and digital technology. The term "giclée," derived from the French verb "gicler," meaning "to spray," refers to the process of making fine art prints from a digital source using inkjet printing. This method reproduces colors and textures with remarkable fidelity to the original artwork. It's a fitting medium for street pop art, where the accessibility of art is a crucial value, enabling the work to reach a wider audience without sacrificing quality. Cultural Impact and Placement in Modern Art "Untitled From Crossroads" is not merely a decorative piece; it is a cultural artifact that encapsulates the mood and ethos of contemporary society. The work's release in 2019 places it within a period of art where boundaries are increasingly blurred between high art and street art and where the voice of the street is as powerful and significant as that of the gallery. Alice Pasquini's contribution to this movement is profound, as she continually challenges and expands the narrative of what street pop art can be. Collectibility and Value The value of a limited edition print like "Untitled From Crossroads" goes beyond its aesthetic appeal. For collectors, the allure lies in the scarcity and the artist's personal touch—each print is signed and numbered, making it unique. Collecting works such as this is not just an investment in art; it is an investment in the legacy of street pop art and graffiti artwork. It represents a chance to own a piece of the movement, a snapshot of the artist's journey, and a fragment of cultural history. Alice Pasquini's "Untitled From Crossroads" giclée print profoundly expresses street pop art and graffiti artwork. Through her signature use of color, expressive portraiture, and the innovative giclée printing technique, Pasquini continues to forge a deep connection with her audience. The limited edition nature of this print, coupled with its evocative portrayal of urban life, underscores the artist's stature as a significant figure in the landscape of contemporary art.

Signal Flare Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints on 310gsm Museum Natural Fine Art Paper by Adam Caldwell Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. "This is a painting of one of my favorite models, Victoria. I painted her in front of a vintage photo of a railway signalman swinging a lantern at night. He’s sending information to the conductor of the train by moving the light in different patterns. There are also elements from an architectural model, a receding yellow fire hose, and some backward 1950’s ad copy. This piece was part of a recent show with Ekundayo and Joram Roukes "New Generation" at Thinkspace gallery in July 2013. I used ad copy, historical photos, and female figures as elements in most of the pieces. It’s a bit simpler than most of my compositions. The figure is really centered as well, I usually push for a more asymmetrical placement, but I like how it came out." - Adam Caldwell

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.

Shadow Boxer Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints on 310gsm Museum Natural Fine Art Paper by Sarah Joncas Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. "I had a reference image I took of myself many years ago. I had lost my sketchbook that day and had nothing to paint on, so I started using myself as a model in some kitschy noir-like photo shoot. I always liked the photo and wanted to paint it up, but it wasn't until this show came around that I found a proper place for the image. Though I'm not at all as dramatic, violent, or angry as the painting displays (quite the opposite), it was a lot of fun to roleplay that kind of revengeful character! I've always said painting is kind of my quiet/shy way of acting... I like to paint narratives and covey them in a way that touches emotions and stirs up thought, kind of like a film might." - Sarah Joncas

Red Hot Chili Peppers Primus 1989 Fillmore Silkscreen San Francisco CA Print by Frank Kozik Hand-Pulled on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. 1989 Kozik Artwork Size 13x19 Silkscreen Print Band Gig Poster by Frank Kozik. Bill Graham San Francisco The Fillmore Poster F115 Red Hot Chili Peppers Mary's Danish Primus September 15 16, 1989 In concert poster art, few names are as synonymous with the medium as Frank Kozik. His creation for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Primus, and Mary's Danish gig at The Fillmore in San Francisco on September 15 and 16, 1989, is a vivid example of his dynamic contribution to the genre. The print, marked as F115 in the catalog of Bill Graham's legendary venue posters, represents an era when rock music and visual art found a harmonious and often rebellious coexistence. This hand-pulled silkscreen print, with dimensions of 13x19 inches, is more than a mere announcement of an event; it's a piece of art that captures the raw vigor of the late 1980s music scene in San Francisco. Featuring a striking illustration that embodies the psychedelic and funky vibes of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the eccentricity of Primus, Kozik's work is a nod to the era's graphic sensibilities, mixing pop art influences with street art's accessibility and edge. Limited editions of such prints are sought after not just for their scarcity but also for their representation of a specific cultural moment. Kozik's prints are known for their bold lines, eye-catching color palettes, and unique interpretation of band personas, and this piece is no exception. The blending of vibrant pinks and purples with the striking image of a cartoonish skeleton figure reflects the energy and boundary-pushing styles of the featured bands. This particular print is a testament to the enduring legacy of a time when The Fillmore was as much a hub for visual innovation as it was for musical performances. Kozik's artwork for this show stands as an iconic piece of pop and street art, bridging fans with the memorable experience of live music and the tactile quality of fine art paper. It encapsulates a period when posters were not only promotional tools but also collectible works of art that fans and art lovers would cherish for decades.

Obey Black Widows AP Dance Floor Riot Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Artist Proof Hand-Pulled 1-Color Screen Print on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Graffiti Pop Street Artwork. AP Artist Proof 2011 Signed & AP Marked Limited Edition Artwork Size 13x13 "Long before I knew about art galleries or even street art, I was excited about album cover art, if only because it was the visual counterpart to the music on the records I loved. Album covers conjured a euphoric association with the listening experience. Most of my earliest home-made tee shirts were stencils based on punk album covers… No matter how much I love art, or try to convince myself of its relevance in society, the fact remains that music is a lot cooler and way more able to reach people’s hearts and minds… but I’m a populist and I look at it this way: I may not play an instrument, but I’m gonna rock it hard as nails anyway. With my art I try to capture the same energy and spirit that makes music so powerful and democratic. REVOLUTIONS is a celebration of all the great music and accompanying art that has inspired me over the years." -Shepard Fairey Pop art, street art, and graffiti have always been mediums that offer a raw and unfiltered reflection of society, culture, and the artist's personal feelings. Among the luminaries in this realm, Shepard Fairey stands tall, his unique creations resonating with both art aficionados and the masses alike. The "Obey Black Widows AP Dance Floor Riot" silkscreen print is a testament to his profound admiration for music and its intertwined relationship with visual arts. Crafted meticulously in 2011, this artist proof, hand-pulled, 1-color screen print on fine art paper, is not just an artwork but a fragment of Fairey’s soul, reverberating his passion for music. Shepard Fairey's initiation into the art world was not through the conventional means of art galleries but through album covers that acted as the visual symphony to the music he revered. Just as album art inspired emotions, memories, and an innate connection to the music, Fairey's street art endeavored to forge a similar connection with its audience. The silkscreen in question, sized at 13x13, embodies Fairey's attempt to harness the immense power and universal reach of music. His statement captures this sentiment eloquently, emphasizing how, despite art's intrinsic value, music has a superior prowess in touching human souls. His use of the term "REVOLUTIONS" is twofold, alluding to both the revolutions of a vinyl record and the socio-cultural revolutions music often incites. A deep dive into "Obey Black Widows AP Dance Floor Riot" offers viewers a chance to journey through Fairey’s inspirations. The fusion of punk's rebellious nature, the invigorating energy of music, and the democratizing force of street art crystallizes in this piece. For those who see art not just as an aesthetic expression but as a pulsating representation of society and individual emotion, this silkscreen print is both a tribute and an inspiration. Through such creations, Shepard Fairey champions the ethos that one needn't play an instrument to rock the world – sometimes, a canvas and a vision are all it takes.
