    Untitled Simulator Interface III Blotter Paper Limited Edition Archival Pigment Print Art on Perforated Blotter Paper by J Demsky pop culture LSD artwork. "My first experience with the Lsd was if I remember correctly about 95-96. It was a small dose, probably a quarter of a "Lucas Duck" that were quite soft, the second was the same dose with a “Bicycle" and the experience was also smooth.Until one day the "Simpson double drop" appeared and it was different. We took half to be sure of the trip and we did not notice anything after almost an hour (at that time people also sold them fake) so we decided to take the other half, imagine what happened.We lost control and my friend ran away, I supposed to go his house and I did the same. But I remember it took me a while to open all three doors since the key was bent as if it were a magic trick.The first thing I did was turn on the TV and there was the movie "The Shining", I was only able to see some scenes but I remember the second time I watch it I thought they had deleted some scenes, you can imagine...Until dawn it was very intense. I think this was the last use I did LSD in a very long time.Now I can say that I have never dedicated myself to selling drugs, but I was very good at faking things and spent a while making "replicas" of sheets of some that were very soft (like “Marilyn Monroe’s" or "Strawberries”) I even used my own designs of things that he painted at that time.In these strange days I feel with a smile remembering those experiences and adding a double drop to these new sheets. :)" - J Demsky

  • No Cure Original Acrylic Spray Paint Painting by Cope2- Fernando Carlo

    Cope2- Fernando Carlo No Cure Original Acrylic Spray Paint Painting by Cope2- Fernando Carlo

    No Cure Original Acrylic Spray Paint Painting by Cope2- Fernando Carlo One of a Kind Artwork on Canvas by Street Art Pop Artist. 2020 Signed Mixed Media Spray Paint & Acrylic Painting Original Artwork Size 43x53 on Unstretched Canvas Explosion of Color: Fernando Carlo's "No Cure" Fernando Carlo, known in the street pop art and graffiti art world as Cope2, is a Bronx-born artist whose work vibrates with the pulse of urban life. His piece titled "No Cure Original Acrylic Spray Paint Painting" is a spectacular canvas that showcases the raw energy and colorful chaos that defines street art. Created in 2020, this one-of-a-kind artwork is an amalgam of acrylic and spray paint, reflecting Cope2's dexterity with mixed media and his deep roots in graffiti culture. Spanning an impressive 43x53 inches on unstretched canvas, "No Cure" stands as a testament to Cope2's enduring influence in the realm of contemporary street art. In the canvas, we see a riot of colors and shapes, clashing and blending in an almost musical harmony. The artwork is signed by the artist, which not only ascertains its authenticity but also marks it as a significant piece within his extensive body of work. Cope2's signature is recognized worldwide, a symbol of credibility in the constantly evolving graffiti scene. With "No Cure," Cope2 demonstrates his versatility and his commitment to the craft, delivering a visual feast that is both a nod to the past and a step into the future of street art. The Bold Artistry of Cope2 Fernando Carlo's journey as Cope2 is a story etched onto the very streets of New York. Since the 1980s, he has been a figure synonymous with the graffiti scene, often regarded as one of the godfathers of New York City subway graffiti. His style has evolved over the decades, yet it retains the essence of the movement — bold, confrontational, and unapologetically public. "No Cure" captures this evolution, its canvas a dynamic collision of traditional graffiti elements with experimental pop art aesthetics. The title "No Cure" itself evokes a sense of raw, uncontained expression. It suggests an ailment for which there is no remedy, perhaps a reference to the addictive nature of artistic creation, especially within the context of street art where the act of painting can be as compelling as the art itself. This painting does not seek to cure but to capture and convey the complex layers of city life, the artist's inner narrative, and the vibrant cultural dialogue of the streets. The unapologetic presence of text, abstract motifs, and splattered paint illustrates Cope2's fearless approach to art and life. Contextualizing "No Cure" in Street Pop Art "No Cure" is not just an artwork but a visual representation of the culture from which it emanates. To understand this piece is to delve into the history of street art and its transition into the gallery space. Street pop art, with its roots in the countercultural movements of the 20th century, seeks to bring the vitality of street culture into the often sterile world of fine art. Cope2 does this masterfully, drawing on his experiences as a Bronx native to infuse his work with an authenticity that cannot be manufactured. The year 2020, when "No Cure" was created, marked an era where street art had firmly established itself as a genre that could command the walls of high-end art spaces while retaining its street cred. In this light, Fernando Carlo's work is a bridge, connecting the gritty sidewalks lined with aerosol to the white walls of art collectors seeking a piece of the street for themselves. "No Cure" embodies the zeitgeist of contemporary urban art, a beacon of the enduring spirit and evolving nature of street pop art and graffiti artwork. In the broader discourse of street pop art, Cope2's "No Cure" is a vibrant chapter that speaks to the diversity and complexity of graffiti art. It stands as a colorful testament to the artistic force of Fernando Carlo and the indelible mark he has left on the cultural fabric of the urban landscape. As the lines between street art and fine art continue to blur, pieces like "No Cure" remind us that at the heart of this movement is the power of raw, unedited expression — a power that indeed has no cure.

    Saber Abstract Cardboard Tagged Untitled Original Spray Paint Painting by Saber

    Abstract Tagged Untitled Original One of a Kind Spray Paint & Marker Painting Artwork on Folded Cardboard by Popular Street Graffiti Artist Saber. 2020 Spray Paint & Marker Original 16.5x13 Mixed Media Graffiti Painting by Saber. In the vibrant sphere of contemporary art, "Abstract Tagged Untitled" emerges as a profound expression of the street graffiti genre. Saber, the artist behind this captivating piece, utilizes a dynamic combination of spray paint and marker on folded cardboard to construct a narrative that speaks volumes through its abstraction. Crafted in 2020, the artwork's dimensions span 16.5x13 inches, a size that allows for an intimate yet impactful interaction with the viewer. The painting presents a raw and gritty texture, a signature of Saber's work, encapsulating the spontaneity and energy synonymous with street art. The bold black lines slashed across the canvas are reminiscent of tags seen on urban landscapes, symbols of identity and existence within the din of the city. Contrasted with the electric blue spray paint that seems to dance around the stark strokes, there is an almost musical rhythm to the composition. The choice of cardboard as the substrate adds an ephemeral element, highlighting the often temporary nature of graffiti art as it battles the elements and the changing cityscape. This particular piece by Saber does not just portray an aesthetic appeal but also embodies the essence of graffiti culture. It's a form that has been historically misunderstood and yet remains one of the most powerful means of self-expression for artists who operate on the fringes of the traditional art world. Saber, through his work, captures the voice of the street, translating it into a universal language, transcending the boundaries that often confine art to galleries and museums. The painting stands as a testament to the genre's evolution and its acceptance into the broader art community. It reflects a journey from the walls of defiance to the walls of collectors and connoisseurs. "Abstract Tagged Untitled" is not only an original and one-of-a-kind piece of street art by Saber but also a compelling slice of the narrative that street and graffiti art continues to write in the history of modern artistic expression. It's a declaration that the power of art lies not just in representation but also in the raw, unfiltered emotion that it can evoke, something Saber has masterfully captured.

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. This art style challenges viewers to engage with the work more intuitively and emotionally, often leaving interpretation open to the individual's experience and perspective. As for the future, the trajectory of abstract abstraction in street art and graffiti seems poised for continual evolution. With digital technology and new mediums, artists have more tools to explore and express their visions. The rise of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) offers new platforms for street artists to experiment with space and form in previously unimaginable ways.
Moreover, the growing acceptance of street art and graffiti in the mainstream world suggests that abstract abstraction will continue gaining prominence and respect. Museums and galleries increasingly showcase street art, acknowledging its cultural significance and artistic merit. This recognition paves the way for new artists to explore abstract abstraction, pushing the boundaries of street art and how it can communicate with a global audience. Abstract abstraction in street pop art and graffiti artwork represents a dynamic and evolving field that defies easy categorization and continues to challenge and inspire artists and audiences alike. Its significance lies in its aesthetic appeal and its ability to communicate complex ideas and emotions, making it a vital component of contemporary art.
