David Molesky Breathe Right Original Oil Painting by David Molesky
Breathe Right Original Painting Oil On Linen w/ Custom Walnut Frame by David Molesky Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2014 Signed & Custom Framed Original Oil Painting Artwork Size 24x20 "This painting is from my series of paintings based on media images of the revolution in Kiev. Its the largest of the eight paintings so far and the one that I spent the most time on. I feel like the figure captures the energy that originally drew me into the subject matter. The paintings of this series are a departure from my earlier figurative painting. For the last decade or so I had tried to depict universal time and avoided man-made objects. I’ve dropped that dogma. I love that the subject is current, and also contains elements that seem from another era." - David Molesky

Shepard Fairey- OBEY Peoples Climate March- To Change Everything We Need Everyone Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY
Peoples Climate March- To Change Everything We Need Everyone Limited Edition 3-Color Hand-Pulled Silkscreen Print on Fine Art Paper by Shepard Fairey Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. People’s Climate March – To Change Everything We Need Everyone Screen Print 18 x 24 inches Edition of 300 September 18, 2014. 'Most of you know that I am very concerned about the dangers of climate change. Dick Cheney said “if there is even a 1% chance of a terrorist attack, we must do everything in our power to be prepared”. 95% or more of the scientific community agrees that climate change is happening, and is a dramatic threat to the planet, yet far less is being done to fight climate change than to fight terrorism. It’s a good thing the streets of New York will be flooded soon — with hundreds of thousands of people demanding solutions to our out-of-control climate crisis. It’s both an honor and a calling of my conscience for me to contribute a poster to the People’s Climate March effort and get something urgent across about one of the biggest threats facing present and future generations. Lady Liberty and all of us are in trouble if we don’t push our leaders to take bold action.' -Shepard Fairey

Dave Kinsey Riot & Reason Archival Print by Dave Kinsey
Riot & Reason Limited Edition Archival Pigment Print on 310gsm Fine Art Paper by Dave Kinsey Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. "This piece was created in 2011 using a mix of acrylic, spray enamel and collage on canvas. I created this piece for an art fair in Los Angeles. It wasn’t part of a series, but a lot of my work is based on political, social or environmental upheaval so it does fall into that context.I came up with the idea for this piece during the UK riots in 2011 that took place after the shooting death of Mark Duggan by police there. After looking at tons of images online, I noticed a commonality in the pictures; a linear perspective that was being cast from all the lines painted in the streets intended for pedestrians and traffic. I began to see these angles and lines as metaphors for control, which in this state of chaos became a contradicting element. I used this notion to create tension in Riot & Reason." - Dave Kinsey

Mear One False Profits Serigraph Print by Mear One
False Profits Limited Edition 10-Color Serigraph on Hand-Deckled 290gsm Coventry Rag Paper by Mear One Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2014 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 85 Artwork Size 20x27 Serigraph Fine Art Print False Profits Serigraph Print by Mear One stands as a significant piece within the realms of pop art, street art, and graffiti art. As the lines between street art and the traditional art world have become increasingly blurred, Mear One's creations, particularly the "False Profits" print, come to represent a powerful intersection of societal critique and artistic expression. This serigraph print, characterized by its intricate detailing and poignant imagery, provides viewers with a raw and unfiltered perspective on capitalism, materialism, and the broader implications of a profit-driven society. Delving deeper into the artwork, Mear One employs a distinct visual language that's drawn from his experiences in the bustling streets of Los Angeles, combined with his understanding of global events and issues. This serigraph print, in particular, leverages its rich color palette and stark contrasts to underscore the disparities and tensions inherent in contemporary society. The very nature of the piece, as a serigraph, involves a meticulous printing process, whereby individual layers of color are added one at a time to produce the final image. This technique is reflective of the depth and layers of meaning embedded within the piece itself. As with many street and graffiti artists, Mear One's work often transcends mere aesthetics, aiming to prompt discussions and challenge established norms. "False Profits" is no exception. By situating this artwork within the broader context of pop art, street art, and graffiti art, one appreciates not only its technical prowess but also its capacity to function as a mirror to society, reflecting its imperfections, challenges, and the pressing need for introspection and change. "This silkscreen is based on a 2012 mural I painted off Brick Lane in the Shoreditch community of East London. I originally titled this piece “Freedom For Humanity” and experienced loads of controversy over the subject matter at the time of its creation. The mural, done entirely in spray paint, depicted a group of fat, old, decrepit white men playing a game of Monopoly on the backs of the working class. My critique of the elite banking cartels brought a standard response from the conservative contingent in London who swiftly conspired to have the piece silenced, but not before the BBC was able to televise the developing controversy surrounding the mural. A heated debate went on for about 4 weeks until finally my mural was buffed by the local governing authorities, thus silencing the message and preventing the conversation from reaching any more viewers. The message was too strong for some to cope with, but I know it was timely and relevant and it needed to be said. With the global economic situation collapsing financial systems across the planet we need more critical thought that shows resistance to this blatant disregard for humanity." - Mear One
