Wood Panel Laser Cut & Cradled

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

In This Together Woodblock Print by Ravi Amar Zupa Hand-Pulled on Reclaimed Wood Panel Limited Edition Artwork. 2020 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 40 Artwork Size 4x5.75 Woodblock Print on Ready To Hang Slightly Distressed Wood Panel Depicting a Jolly Roger Skull and Cross Bones with Crown. Artwork Says: Social Distancing With Love 2020 In This Together. "In This Together" is a profound woodblock print by Ravi Amar Zupa, an artist known for his intricate hand-pulled prints on reclaimed wood panels. This limited edition artwork, part of a collection of only 40, reflects a moment defined by the global pandemic and encapsulates the ethos of solidarity and resilience. Measuring 4x5.75 inches, the piece is a compact yet powerful statement, ready to hang and slightly distressed, which adds to its raw appeal. The print features the iconic Jolly Roger skull and crossbones, crowned, a symbol historically associated with piracy but recontextualized here to signify unity in adversity. Symbolism and Technique in Zupa's Work Ravi Amar Zupa's choice of imagery and text in "In This Together" is evocative and timely. Paired with a crown, the skull and crossbones traditionally symbolize death and power. However, in the context of this artwork, they take on a new meaning, representing the collective struggle and the need to 'reign' over the crisis with compassion, as suggested by the phrase "Social Distancing With Love." The woodblock print technique, a traditional form of printmaking, lends a sense of timelessness and connects the work to a long history of artistic expression. At the same time, the reclaimed wood panel serves as a reminder of sustainability and resourcefulness. Cultural Resonance of the Artwork The cultural resonance of "In This Together" within the street pop art and graffiti artwork scene is significant. It captures a shared sentiment that transcended borders during the pandemic—solidarity. Zupa's work often explores themes of social and political significance, and this piece is no exception. It speaks to the heart of street art's social role: to comment, unite, and inspire. This artwork is not just a reflection of the times but also a rallying cry, a statement of support and empathy that resonated deeply during a time of global uncertainty. Collectability and Impact on Contemporary Art The collectability of "In This Together" lies in its limited edition status, signed and numbered by Zupa, which adds an element of exclusivity. The work's size makes it accessible, while its message and craftsmanship make it a significant addition to any collection of contemporary street pop art and graffiti artwork. The piece's impact is further enhanced by its medium—woodblock printing on wood panel—which bridges traditional art-making techniques with modern themes, thus appealing to a wide range of art enthusiasts and collectors. "In This Together" by Ravi Amar Zupa is a compelling piece of contemporary art that resonates with the communal spirit of street pop art and graffiti artwork. Through traditional woodblock printing on reclaimed wood, Zupa creates an artwork that is both a testament to the times and a timeless piece of artistry. It stands as a symbol of unity and love in a year marked by separation and uncertainty, offering a message of hope and togetherness that is as universal as it is powerful.

And Then Things Got Better- Mini, Part of the True Facts Mini Multiple Series Original Hand-Painted Multiple (HPM) on Wood Cradled Panel ready to hang by Denial Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. "My work speaks of impending doom and a lot of crass sinister themes, but that should not mean I desire this to happen at all. I hope my work would suggest only the opposite: to show the ridiculousness of it all and how we may find better solutions for the future." -Denial Denial’s art is strongly political and social since the artist takes specific positions against issues, such as capitalism, consumer culture, and advertisements. More importantly, the artist is aware of his choices and motivations: “I like to think of myself as activist pop art. How I relate with cartoons and graphics is a lot easier than I do with photo-realistic stuff" Another aspect of Denial's work is humor. His work is satirical, which, by definition, means that it uses humor as a confronting mechanism.

Each "Happy 3D" series piece is carefully crafted, featuring hand-painted sides that add a personal touch, blurring the lines between mass-produced prints and one-of-a-kind art. The laser-cut wood provides a three-dimensional quality that brings the melting figures to life, allowing them to leap off the wall in a way that flat canvas cannot capture. This depth and texture are a nod to graffiti art's tactile nature, which invites visual and physical interaction. Buff Monster's work is deeply rooted in the pop culture lexicon, drawing inspiration from a variety of sources, including Japanese kawaii culture, which he melds with his vibrant aesthetic to comment on the nature of happiness, the fluidity of time and the fleeting beauty of life. The "Happy 3D" series epitomizes this blend, offering collectors and enthusiasts a piece of the jubilant and often irreverent world Buff Monster creates.
