  • Passion Dans Le Rouge Lithograph Print by Enrique Peycere

    Enrique Peycere Passion Dans Le Rouge Lithograph Print by Enrique Peycere

    Passion Dans Le Rouge Lithograph Print by Enrique Peycere Hand-Pulled Print on Deckled Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Contemporary Modernism Vintage Pop Artwork. 1986 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 120 Artwork Size 28x31 Hand Deckled Paper Contemporary Modern Abstract Red Artwork Titled Passion Dans Le Rouge, or Passion In The Red. Silght Handling Crease to Lower Left Facing Edge. Enrique Peycere and "Passion Dans Le Rouge": A Study in Abstraction The 1986 lithograph "Passion Dans Le Rouge," created by Enrique Peycere, captures the intense emotion and dynamic energy that the title, translating to "Passion In The Red," suggests. As a limited edition hand-pulled print on fine art paper, this work stands out with its contemporary modern abstract expression and generous dimensions of 28x31 inches. With only 120 pieces, each signed and numbered by the artist, the artwork secures its place as a sought-after piece for collectors and art lovers alike. The Vitality of Red in Peycere's Abstract Vision Peycere's choice of red is deliberate and loaded with symbolism. In art, red is often associated with passion, strength, and vitality, and in "Passion Dans Le Rouge," the color takes center stage, pulsating with life and vibrancy. The abstract forms that dominate the composition are reminiscent of organic shapes, alluding to the natural world or the human form, allowing viewers to engage with the piece on multiple interpretive levels. This abstraction aligns with the principles of pop art and graffiti, where color and form elicit a visceral response from the viewer. Abstract Expressionism's Echo in Street and Pop Art While Enrique Peycere's work predates the explosion of street pop art and graffiti, "Passion Dans Le Rouge" resonates with the energy and spontaneity that characterize these later movements. The abstraction found in Peycere's lithograph can be seen as a precursor to the abstract tendencies of street and pop art, where the emotional impact and the aesthetic experience often take precedence over representational accuracy. The boldness and simplicity of the work, combined with its abstract nature, make it a piece that transcends time and style, engaging with the universal language of color and form. As such, Peycere's "Passion Dans Le Rouge" not only contributes to the narrative of abstract art but also complements the broader conversation about the influence of abstract expressionism on contemporary street and pop art. Enrique Peycere's "Passion Dans Le Rouge" lithograph remains a powerful expression of emotion and artistry. Its abstract forms and vibrant red hues continue to captivate and inspire, much like the vivid street art that colors the urban landscapes of cities around the world. Through his limited edition works, Peycere has left an indelible mark on the art world, which continues to echo through modern and contemporary art.

    J Demsky Untitled Simulator Interface III Blotter Paper Archival Print by J Demsky

    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

    Turk Street AP 01 Original Painting Spray Paint Aerosol on Coventry Rag Fine Art Paper by Apexer Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. "When I paint on the street I like to have fun. I'm always trying new ideas out that turn into more ideas. In this painting, I wanted to have two drastically different fill-in styles. So the top half is a classic fill of mine and in the bottom half, I play with the idea of different color chrome effects. It was a fun piece to paint in the heart of San Francisco. This piece is all part of my artistic vocabulary. This particular one says apex and I was painting in the super burner style, but I was really trying to push the ideas of color and style." - Apexer

"This piece was one of 1 of 9 paintings I produced for my last show, DISTANCIA, that took place in an abandoned building in Mexico City at the start of this year. Every piece in the show had a similar second piece that was slightly altered to create a visual rhythm, but this painting was the one wild card piece that stood proudly on its own. For me, this piece was the one piece that summed what the entire show was about — breaking away from the structure to give way to a new perspective and flow while finding peace in the process." - Erik Otto

Kwest was born and raised in Toronto, Canada starting his art career as a graffiti artist in the early 1990s. For over twenty years he has been active in developing a unique and complex style of lettering that he can call his own, a fluid and tight mechanical typography that appears to be born of the very structures he chose to paint them on. His primary canvas has been freight trains and he has painted well over 5000 individual works of art, relinquishing any hold on them as soon as they are completed, destined to travel the vast web of rails that crisscross North America. It is thru his solitary practice of working rapidly in an outdoor environment that Kwest has fine-tuned his visual language and similarly gained recognition and respect from his peers.

"I started the piece in the beginning of May 2012 for an exhibition in Lisbon, named ‘Shapes for All’. The Stroke Art Fair was a great experience. I made some other pieces for the same exhibition, all a bit different but very similar. The materials are my usual materials: acrylics and spray cans.I used to like to mixed some colors in particular with some specifics forms and that’s what I have made here. I have created an environment for the Mickey Mouse, where we can find some abstract layers. On this piece there is a bit of extra appreciation for the clean line. The grey paint that I used was one of the most spectacular greys that I have ever worked with." - Helio Bray

    Peeta Tell Your Bumps Archival Print by Peeta

    Tell Your Bumps Limited Edition Archival Pigment Print on 310gsm Fine Art Paper by Peeta Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. "This piece is part of a 2011 production. Most of the works I have painted during the last part of that year follow the same trend: the painting of fictional brush strokes over the 3d piece on canvas. The practice inspired me to create new volumetric and dynamic effects.Each time I paint a new canvas, I aim to discover the most optimal way to use colors, light and shade to reach a three-dimensional result. Layering splashes of color over the letters brings into keen focus their three-dimensionality, transforming them into real objects that not only cast shadows but also receive or obscure the subsequent blottings and swipes of paint." - Peeta

    Punching A Hole In The Night Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints on 310gsm Museum Natural Fine Art Paper by Eric Inkala Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. "I started the backgrounds of these paintings when I broke my right hand and I am right-handed, couldn’t really paint and it was driving me crazy so I just said fuck it and started painting really abstract backgrounds with my left hand. Then they sat to the side for a while and came back to them a while later when my hand was completely healed and started building up the layers. These paintings are very unique within my body of work. The only two from that time period were I was really exploring meshing different aspects of my painting and sketchbook elements. My work is usually very flat. I would say each painting has at least 10 layers with just a little bit of each poking through to the final product." - Eric Inkala

This piece was made after returning from a trip to Paris in late October. It is the product of a few all night drawing sessions in my NYC studio. The work aims to orchestrate weight, repetition and color. The elements were improvised and placed atop an abstract starting point. Intersecting strokes and confident squiggles got played with." - Rime

"The print is based of an original artwork that was produced a few years back for a group show at our old gallery PerSquareMetre. I was exploring degradation and layering and also painting on found objects. The original piece belongs to my wife and she won't give it up! The original piece was created using a combination of acrylic paint and spray enamel. The artwork is painted on an old print that belonged to my Mother. I really liked the texture and weathering of the timber on the back so that’s the side I chose to paint. The cheesy 50’s print is still on the other side. At the time I was working with a lot of found objects and customizing my letter style to suit them. I have always used layering in my work to create depth and reference to the gritty street walls that were my original canvas."- Dvate

It beguiles my imagination and disturbs my sleep. It introduces a dissonance into my perception of reality. The worst thing about perfection is that it is unattainable and that I will never achieve it. The best you can do is trying to approach it. For that reason beyond perfection is an attempt at escaping it; taking a look beyond it and immersing yourself in the space other than this possessed by the unattainable. This is where I was trying to find the matter and inspiration for the series. I employed color and space. My aim was to help the recipients find depth because depth allows escaping perfection." - Nawer

It's similar to 'Op-art' (Optical Art) which makes your eyes trip out. It's an effect that alters your perception as if you were on Psychedelic drugs. Some of the Psychedelic designs I made were featured in Remix, and some of them I created specifically for this series. This particular 'Sunset Strip' design I made with more complexity for my solo exhibition Remix. The Remix exhibition was about interchanging and swapping different cut patterns of the same design, in different colors to achieve the final piece. The Psychedelic series achieves a similar effect but in a more basic style of blocking out colors and allowing the negative space to reveal itself." - Above

    Consistency- 5 Original Painting Spray Paint, Acrylic, Mixed Media on Cradled Wood Panel by Cope2 Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. In recent years Cope2 has been commissioned by Time Magazine, Converse, Adidas among others. His work has even crossed into the virtual realm with appearances in video games such as Mark Eckos: Getting up and Rockstar Games: Grand Theft Auto IV. During the mid-1990s Cope2 started slowly transitioning from the streets to the art scene of the galleries. At that time, street art was not as popular as it is in our days and the general public’s idea of it was still inextricably connected to ghettos, drug dealing, etc. The artist has never hidden his troubling past and avoids idealizing it, as a way to enhance his career and artistic persona. On the contrary, he mentions the following: “Oh man, there’s nothing to be proud of in hustling, but I had my first child at the age of 16, my son. So I had to make money to support him and his mother.

This one was no exception. Everything I create moves along an improvised stream of consciousness. The title describes the mood I was in when I painted it and is also the title of a song that I had playing while in my studio. The composition is what makes it unique from the rest of my work.

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.
