    Cope2- Fernando Carlo Detroit Series 25 Original Spray Paint Acrylic Painting by Cope2- Fernando Carlo

    Detroit Series 25 Original Painting Spray Paint, Acrylic Paint, and Mixed Media on Cradled Wood by Cope2 Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2010 Signed & Titled Original Spray Paint Acrylic Paint Mixed Media Painting on Cradled Wood Panel Ready to Hang Graffiti Artwork Bubble Letter Size 24x16 "I've always wanted to do a show like this. Lately, I have transitioned mostly into mixed media paintings, but I've been doing hardcore graffiti, if you want to call it that, for thirty-plus years. It's what made me Cope2. But I like to change it up and show all my different styles. So, with this show, I can show my style evolution and how I've progressed. "Versatile" shows where I came from and what I'm doing now," Cope2 said from his studio in New York. -Cope2 The Evolution of Cope2 in Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork Within the pantheon of street pop art and graffiti artwork, Cope2 stands as a figure of significant importance, a name synonymous with the gritty roots and dynamic evolution of the genre. The "Detroit Series 25 Original Painting" is a testament to the artist's journey through the ever-changing landscape of urban art. This 2010 signed and titled original piece, measuring 24x16 inches, fuses spray paint, acrylic paint, and mixed media on a cradled wood panel, embodying the essence of what Cope2 has termed as 'hardcore graffiti.' Yet, it does more than that. It showcases a readiness to hang graffiti artwork that pulsates with the energy of bubble letters, a signature style that has made Cope2 a celebrated figure in modern pop art. This piece is not simply a static work of art; it narrates the story of Cope2's artistic evolution. Having spent over three decades dedicated to the craft of graffiti, Cope2 has earned recognition not just for his adherence to the raw foundations of graffiti but also for his adaptability and his embrace of mixed media approaches. The "Detroit Series 25" reflects this transition, showcasing how the artist has progressed from the streets to the studio, from the brief to the enduring. Cope2's Artistic Journey and Influence on Modern Art In the artist's words, Cope2 has described his artistic journey as one marked by versatility and evolution. The shift from exclusively employing spray paint to a multifaceted array of mediums signals a broader trend within street art's integration into the fine art world. The "Detroit Series 25" is emblematic of this shift, combining traditional graffiti techniques with the tactile nature of acrylics and the solidity of wood as a canvas. This fusion reflects a sophisticated approach to street-inspired art, blurring the boundaries between an underground subculture and the polished gallery scene. Cope2's work, particularly in the "Detroit Series," can be seen as a cultural chronicle, documenting the rise of street art from subversive beginnings to mainstream acclaim. His pieces are imbued with the spirit of New York's urban landscape, the birthplace of contemporary graffiti, yet they speak to audiences far beyond the city's confines. Through his work, Cope2 has captured the visceral thrill of graffiti, the bold colors, the daring contours, and the unapologetic self-expression, all while translating it into a format that commands respect within the contemporary art sphere. Reflecting Social Narratives through Graffiti Artwork Cope2's "Detroit Series 25" is more than an aesthetic endeavor; it is a social statement, capturing the zeitgeist of its era. His art does not exist in a vacuum but as a vibrant commentary on the environment from which it springs. The artwork tells the story of transition, not just for the artist but for the medium of graffiti itself. Once relegated to the fringes of the art world, considered an act of vandalism, graffiti has been recontextualized through works like those of Cope2. These pieces reflect the changing narratives around street art, elevating it to a form of street pop art that mirrors society's evolving attitudes towards public space, ownership, and artistic liberty. The legacy of Cope2's "Detroit Series 25" lies in its ability to capture the imagination of a diverse audience, bringing the raw, unfiltered voice of the streets into the sanctified spaces of art galleries. It embodies the spirit of resilience and adaptability, allowing graffiti to endure and flourish despite often hostile societal perceptions. The artwork stands as a vibrant testament to the power of street pop art and graffiti artwork to transcend their origins, influencing and reshaping the modern art scene in profound ways. In contemplating the impact of the "Detroit Series 25," it becomes clear that Cope2's influence extends beyond the visual. His work, with its vivid imagery and poignant use of mixed media, underscores the potential of graffiti to act as a catalyst for dialogue and reflection. It is a powerful demonstration of the artist's ability to evolve while remaining true to the core tenets of his craft, ensuring that his work remains relevant and resonant in the fast-paced world of modern art. Through his creations, Cope2 has shown where he came from and what he is doing now, marking his indelible imprint on the fabric of street pop art and graffiti artwork.

    Psychedelic Spiral- 01 Original Hand-Painted Multiple Spray Paint, Ink Mixed Media on Laser Cut Wood Panel ready to hang by Tavar Zawacki (Above) Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. "The Psychedelic series were made in conjunction with my recent solo exhibition Remix. All of the Psychedelic series was designed with an emphasis on a sharp visual contrast. 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

  • The Empresses- H10-4 Suiko Aluminum Giclee by Damien Hirst The Empresses- H10-4 Suiko Aluminum Giclee by Damien Hirst

    Damien Hirst The Empresses- H10-4 Suiko Aluminum Giclee by Damien Hirst

    The Empresses- H10-4 Suiko Pop Street Artwork Limited Edition Giclee & Giltter Screenprint Print on Aluminum Sheet by Urban Graffiti Modern Artist Damien Hirst. 2022 Signed & Numbered In Verso on Label Limited Edition of 3310 Artwork Size 39.37x39.37 Giclee & Giltter Screenprint Print on Aluminum Sheet Empress Suiko's Legacy Through Damien Hirst's Vision Suiko, a captivating composition, embodies the essence of life in numerous ways and is named after Japan's first documented empress. Although folklore suggests that several women had ruled before Empress Suiko (554-628 CE), her ascension to power following the assassination of her brother Sushun in 592 CE challenged the tradition of male rulership. Suiko is recognized for the Chinese and Korean influences she introduced to Japan, such as the adoption of the Chinese calendar, the arrival of Chinese and Korean artisans, and, most notably, the establishment of Buddhism. In the artwork, variously sized paired wings radiate from the center, forming a symmetrical, concentric circle that mirrors Buddhist symbolism and life cycle. This circular pattern is strikingly accentuated by shimmering diagonal red lines that extend from the center to each corner. Set against a red backdrop, these lines intersect the pairs of detached wings, seemingly passing through where the bodies once resided. As with every piece in this series, Suiko presents a continuous metamorphosis, with the butterflies appearing to move and evolve the longer one observes the work. While the details are best appreciated up close, the composition assumes a new vitality from a distance. From this perspective, Suiko unveils a swelling configuration of wings, organized around the central concentric circles and enhanced by additional external wing arrangements. This composition resembles biological or molecular structures reminiscent of the living organisms it portrays. 'The Empresses - H10-4 Suiko' is a profound piece of street pop art by Damien Hirst, a renowned British artist whose works often delve into themes of life, death, and beyond. This artwork is a giclee and glitter screenprint on an aluminum sheet, encapsulating the historical significance and spiritual depth of Empress Suiko, Japan's first documented empress. The piece, signed and numbered by Hirst, embodies Empress Suiko's transformative impact on Japanese society by integrating Chinese and Korean cultural elements and establishing Buddhism as a foundational spiritual practice. Spiritual Symbolism in 'The Empresses - H10-4 Suiko' The artwork mesmerizes with concentric circles of butterfly wings, evoking Buddhist symbolism and the concept of life's cyclical nature. Each pair of precisely placed wings creates a sense of harmony and balance, reflecting the orderly universe Suiko sought to establish through her reforms. The shimmering diagonal lines traversing the composition echo the Buddhist paths of enlightenment, leading from the tumultuous human experience to the serenity of Nirvana. Hirst uses these lines to draw connections between the spiritual journey and the temporal power wielded by Empress Suiko, who navigated the intricacies of court politics with a vision of peace and progress. Set against a vibrant red backdrop, the wings' arrangement transcends mere aesthetic appeal, inviting contemplation of life's transient beauty and the spirit's enduring nature. This duality aligns with the principles of Buddhism, which Suiko championed. This faith acknowledges the fleeting beauty of the physical world while urging the pursuit of more profound, lasting truths. A Metamorphosis of Art and History Observing 'The Empresses - H10-4 Suiko', one experiences a metamorphosis that mirrors the transformative era of Suiko's reign. The continuous evolution of the artwork, where butterflies symbolize change and rebirth, speaks to the empress's role in reshaping Japan's cultural and religious landscape. From a distance, the composition pulses with life, the concentric circles expanding outward, reminiscent of Suiko's policies' rippling effect across her empire and through time. The biological and molecular resemblances in the arrangement of the wings suggest the interconnectedness of all living things, a concept at the heart of Buddhist teaching. Hirst's masterful integration of historical narrative with contemporary art challenges the viewer to consider how the past informs the present and how figures like Empress Suiko continue to influence modern thought and art. In 'The Empresses - H10-4 Suiko', Damien Hirst offers more than just a visual spectacle; he presents a philosophical inquiry wrapped in street pop art and graffiti artwork. This piece is a testament to Hirst's ability to weave together the threads of history, spirituality, and contemporary art into a tapestry that captures the imagination and prompts introspection. Empress Suiko's legacy, as interpreted through Hirst's artistic vision, becomes a bridge connecting the ancient to the modern, the spiritual to the secular, and the individual to the universal.

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

"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

"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

This 2010 original painting is a vivid example of the fusion of spray paint, acrylic paint, and mixed media on cradled wood.

This particular piece of the Detroit Series is a rich tapestry of color, texture, and form. Using cradled wood as a substrate represents a departure from the temporary walls and subway cars that traditionally serve as canvases for graffiti artists. Cope2's choice of material marks a conscious step towards the permanence and longevity of his art, aligning with his desire to evolve and adapt over his thirty-plus years of creating. By employing a mixed media approach, Cope2 bridges the gap between graffiti's raw, street-level artistry and the refined, deliberate nature of studio-created works.

Yet, they also signify the possibility of transcendence, of art that can rise from the streets to hang on the walls of collectors and enthusiasts who value the authenticity and raw power that graffiti embodies. In assessing Cope2's "Detroit Series 16" legacy, one cannot help but recognize the artist's influence on the trajectory of street pop art and graffiti artwork. His ability to navigate the transition from street to studio without losing the essence of graffiti's spirit is remarkable.

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.
