    Silver Moon Limited Edition 3-Color Hand-Pulled Silkscreen Print on 290gsm Coventry Rag Vellum by Erik Otto Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. "Where my mother grew up in Texas, one of the largest employers was NASA, and she was fortunate enough to be present during the Apollo 11 mission that resulted in man's first step on the moon. Through this influence and my early discovery of Carl Sagan, I developed a curiosity for the solar system, the elements that connect us all, and the many symbols different cultures apply to the cosmos. The silver moon concept combines the self-reflective qualities of silver and the healing powers of the moon. Separated marks carefully arranged and suspended within the composition each depict natural elements while producing a suggestive horizon with the moons sitting still in its fullness on a seemingly endless black surface. This piece was created during a time of reinvention within the studio as I committed to producing an all-new body of work exploring the symbolic characteristics of waves and water. " - Erik Otto

That's stemmed from working in the public realm for the majority of my artist career. How the public interact and engage with my large outdoor murals, led me onto building interactive installations so people can engage with the '3d paintings' Over the past few years this idea of relationships and the environment has found me looking at botanics and their role and effect on us. Primarily out of interest but it has lead me to understand the importance of certain plants, in regards to our health, mental health, sleep, anxiety etc. It has naturally brought me to the National Botanical Gardens Dublin Ireland to sketch and take photos of the plants I've found of interest. From those sketches and photographs I've integrated their loose forms into my 'hard lined' art and applied the new compositions to my print works." - Maser Habitats II, a remarkable work by Al Maser, exemplifies the fusion of graffiti, street, and pop art elements, capturing the essence of urban contemporary expression.

Abstract Abstraction Graffiti Street Pop Artwork

Abstract Abstraction in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork

Abstract abstraction, a concept often perceived as redundant, is a significant and vibrant facet of street pop art and graffiti artwork. This artistic approach transcends the conventional boundaries of abstract art by pushing the limits of form, color, and composition to create pieces that defy easy categorization or interpretation. In street pop art and graffiti, abstract abstraction becomes a tool for artists to communicate complex ideas and emotions, often rooted in social, political, or personal contexts. Abstract street graffiti art is a form of urban art typically featuring bold and expressive designs, shapes, and colors intended to convey emotion, movement, and energy. Unlike traditional graffiti, which often consists of simple tags or stylized lettering, abstract street graffiti art is typically characterized by its emphasis on abstract shapes and patterns and its use of color and texture to create a dynamic and visually engaging composition. One of the defining features of abstract street graffiti art is its ability to transform an otherwise mundane urban landscape into a vibrant and exciting space. By using the walls, buildings, and other city surfaces as their canvas, graffiti artists can create large-scale works of art that can be viewed and appreciated by anyone who passes by.
In some cases, these works of art can even become landmarks or cultural touchstones within the communities where they are located. Another important aspect of abstract street graffiti art is its ability to convey powerful messages or ideas through visual imagery. Whether it's a statement about social justice, a celebration of diversity and inclusivity, or simply an expression of personal creativity and self-expression, abstract street graffiti art has the power to communicate complex ideas and emotions in a way that is accessible and engaging to a wide range of audiences. Despite its many virtues, abstract street graffiti art is still often viewed with suspicion or even outright hostility by some members of the general public.
In many cases, this is due to a perceived association with vandalism and criminal activity or simply a lack of understanding or appreciation for the cultural and artistic value of this unique and dynamic urban art form. Despite these challenges, abstract street graffiti art continues to thrive and evolve as artists worldwide push the boundaries of what is possible with this exciting and dynamic medium. Whether you see it as a bold act of rebellion or a powerful form of artistic expression, there is no denying the impact that abstract street graffiti art has had on our cities and our culture, and its influence is sure to be felt for many years.

Evolution and Characteristics in Street Art

A gradual shift from the traditional graffiti styles of the 1970s and 1980s marks the evolution of abstract abstraction in street pop art and graffiti artwork. Early graffiti, predominantly in New York and other urban centers, focused on lettering and figurative elements. However, as the art form matured and spread globally, artists began experimenting with abstract forms, color palettes, and spatial arrangements. Pioneers in this movement, like Futura (real name: Leonard Hilton McGurr, United States), transcended conventional graffiti styles, employing spray cans to create sprawling, abstract compositions that were groundbreaking at the time. These artists challenged the norms of both street art and the broader art world. They rejected the idea that graffiti must be about words or recognizable images, instead emphasizing emotional expression and individual creativity. The result was a dynamic and unpredictable form of art that could adapt to any surface or environment and spoke to a diverse, urban audience.

Notable Contributions and Artists

In discussing abstract abstraction in street art and graffiti, it's essential to highlight key figures who have shaped its trajectory. One such artist is Jean-Michel Basquiat (real name: Jean-Michel Basquiat, United States, 1960–1988). Although primarily known for his work in the neo-expressionist movement, Basquiat ventured into abstract graffiti under SAMO. His work in the streets of New York blended text and imagery in a way that blurred the lines between figurative and abstract art, setting a precedent for future generations of graffiti artists. Artists like Banksy (real name unknown, United Kingdom) have also contributed significantly to the field in Europe. While Banksy's work is more symbolic and political, the abstract elements in his compositions – the play with shadows and the distortion of forms – align with the principles of abstract abstraction. Banksy's art, often riddled with irony and dark humor, utilizes abstraction as an aesthetic choice and a means of commenting on societal issues.

Impact and Future Directions

The impact of abstract abstraction in street pop art and graffiti artwork extends beyond the art world. It has influenced graphic design, fashion, and advertising, demonstrating its vast reach and versatility.
