African American culture and identity. In graffiti art, African Americans are often depicted as powerful and heroic figures, while in pop art they are portrayed in a more humorous and ironic way. In graffiti art, African American culture is often celebrated through the use of bold colors and imagery. Graffiti artists have used their art to promote social justice and racial equality, often depicting African American leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X as symbols of strength and resilience. Additionally, graffiti art has been used to highlight the challenges faced by African Americans, such as police brutality and systemic racism. Many graffiti artists use their art to draw attention to these issues and call for change. In pop art, African Americans are often portrayed in a more satirical and humorous way. Pop artists like Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein used African American cultural references, such as images of black athletes and musicians, as a way to comment on popular culture and consumerism. However, some pop artists also used their art to critique the ways in which African Americans were portrayed in mainstream media, challenging negative stereotypes and promoting positive images of black culture. In addition to celebrating African American culture and identity, graffiti art has also been used to address social issues that disproportionately affect the black community. For example, some graffiti artists have used their art to call attention to the school-to-prison pipeline, which refers to the practice of funneling students, particularly students of color, out of the public school system and into the criminal justice system. Graffiti art has also been used to address issues such as gentrification, poverty, and access to healthcare. Pop art has also been used to address social issues affecting the black community. Pop artists like Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat used their art to critique the racial inequality and social injustice they saw around them. Basquiat, in particular, used his art to highlight the ways in which black culture had been appropriated by white artists and popular culture. Both graffiti art and pop art have also been used as a way for African American artists to claim their place in the art world. Historically, black artists have faced barriers to entry in the art world, with many struggling to find representation and recognition for their work. Graffiti art and pop art have provided alternative avenues for African American artists to express themselves and gain visibility. In recent years, African American artists have continued to use graffiti art and pop art as a way to explore and express their identities and experiences. This has led to a vibrant and diverse body of work that continues to challenge and inspire audiences around the world.

Omniscient Blotter Paper Archival Print by Tara McPherson Limited Edition Fine Art Archival Pigment Print Art on Perforated Blotter Paper. 2023 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 50 Archival Pigment Print on Perforated Blotter Paper Size: 7.5 x 7.5 Inches Release: April 19, 2023 Limited blotter editions are hand-perforated by Zane Kesey. Blotter paper artwork prints are a unique form of art that involves transferring ink onto specially treated blotter paper. The resulting prints are often abstract and colorful, and can be used for a variety of decorative and artistic purposes. To create a blotter paper artwork print, the artist first prepares the blotter paper by treating it with chemicals that will enhance its absorbency and ability to hold ink or dye. Then, ink or dye is applied to the paper using various techniques, such as dripping, pouring, or spraying. The paper is left to dry, and the resulting print is then carefully removed from the blotter paper. Archival printing techniques are used to produce high-quality prints of the original artwork. This involves using high-quality inks and paper that are designed to last for a long time without fading or deteriorating. Archival prints are also resistant to moisture and sunlight, which helps to preserve the artwork for years to come. Blotter paper artwork prints can be a great addition to any home or office decor, and they are often used as a unique form of wall art. They are also popular among collectors and art enthusiasts, as each print is one-of-a-kind and can never be replicated exactly.

Lister's print, a homage to the iconic musician Prince, is imbued with the spirit of the legendary pop star. The 8-bit art style for which Lister is renowned has revolutionized the contemporary art scene, turning classic figures into intricate pixel-like compositions. His unique style is inspired by the early graphic aesthetics of computer and video game culture, thus tapping into an element of nostalgia for viewers. A remarkable facet of the Prince Giclee Print lies in its multi-dimensionality that captures the essence of graffiti and street art. The piece retains the spontaneity and vibrancy inherent to these art forms. Even though his work is meticulously planned and executed, the final output mirrors the raw energy and liveliness found on the streets. Lister's usage of watercolor to execute his geometric representations introduces an element of unpredictability, something graffiti art shares. The watercolor bleeds and diffuses, its organic unpredictability contrasting the sharp, calculated angles of his 8-bit renditions, adding depth to the otherwise flat digital aesthetic. Adam Lister's Prince Giclee Print is therefore a visual melting pot of pop, street, and graffiti art. It showcases an amalgamation of pop culture icons, nostalgic pixelated imagery, and elements of street art, ultimately contributing a unique dimension to the contemporary art scene.

Directed by Aaron Rose and co-directed by Joshua Leonard, this film was a product of Sidetrack Films and BlackLake Productions, featuring artists like Harmony Korine and Steve "ESPO" Powers. The film explores the "do-it-yourself" ethos of these artists, whose work is steeped in the aesthetics of skateboarding, graffiti, and underground music genres such as punk rock and hip-hop. It casts a light on the journey of these artists from obscure street culture to becoming celebrated figures within the mainstream art world, detailing their personal feelings and convictions as they transitioned from creating for themselves to working on high-profile commercial projects. "Beautiful Losers" is more than a film; it is part of a more significant cultural phenomenon that includes a published art book of the same name, edited by Christian Strike and Aaron Rose, and a traveling museum exhibition that features the artists and their works. This exhibition serves both as a backdrop and a focus in the documentary, emphasizing the expansive influence of these artists and their continued relevance in contemporary art discourse.

It charts the journey of American artists, many freshly stepping into adulthood, who were propelled not by market demands but by pure passion and creativity. Without formal training or insider knowledge, they drew inspiration from the streets, influenced by the raw vitality of skateboarding, graffiti, street fashion, and independent music. Names like Shepard Fairey, Mark Gonzales, and Spike Jonze are among the many who channeled their lived experiences into their craft, learning through doing and revolutionizing their mediums. Beautiful Losers serves as both a tribute and a historical account, tracing the cultural threads from Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring to newer proponents such as Ryan McGinniss and KAWS. It features various artistic expressions across mediums, alongside reproductions of ephemera that encapsulate the era's spirit. The book is further enriched by essays from writers who have fervently supported these artists from their inception. It's not just an art book; it's an archive of a movement that left indelible marks on the art world and fashion, music, literature, film, and even athletics. The independent ethos these creators embodied may have evolved, yet their foundational spirit—a spirit of rebellion, innovation, and authenticity—remains unshaken. Beautiful Losers is a celebration of that enduring spirit, an invitation to witness the beauty in the raw, the unrefined, and the real.

Bias by Numbers- Large Format 30X42 4-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Fine Speckletone Art Paper by Shepard Fairey Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist. Signed & Numbered, Bias by Numbers 30 inches by 42 inches Edition of 89 June 3, 2019 “Bias by Numbers” addresses racial bias in policing, criminal justice, and media culture. Racial bias in policing and criminal justice has a long history, including stats like – black people being five times more likely to be stopped and searched than white people, and four times more likely to be subjected to unnecessary use of force, or four times more likely to be killed by the police when unarmed. The statistics revealing racial bias in prosecution and sentencing are compelling as well. Though recreational drug use is equally common in both predominantly black communities and predominantly white communities, convictions for drug possession are almost six times higher for blacks. Blacks frequently receive longer prison sentences than whites contributing to African Americans being incarcerated at more than five times the rate of whites.

Dred66- Tyree Davis Red Carpet Imperial Original Oil Painting by Dred66- Tyree Davis
Red Carpet Imperial Original Oil Painting by Dred66- Tyree Davis of a Kind of Artwork on Foam Core Mounted to Acrylic Sheet From Street Art Pop Artist. 2001 Signed Acrylic Painting Original Artwork Size 32x12 Depicting 2 People Sharing a Meal at a Table with Wine Over a Massive Red Carpet. Tagged, Signed, Dated, and titled on the Back. Imperial / Red Carpet / Dred66 / March 2001 Essence of "Red Carpet Imperial" by Tyree Davis "Red Carpet Imperial" stands as a remarkable testament to the artistic prowess of Tyree Davis, known in the street pop art and graffiti artwork community as Dred66. This original oil painting, a one-of-a-kind artwork on foam core mounted to an acrylic sheet, exemplifies the fusion of street art aesthetics with the traditional oil painting medium. Created in 2001, this signed acrylic painting stretches across a sizeable 32x12 canvas, depicting a scene that is both intimate and grandiose — two people sharing a meal at a table with a wine bottle over a massive red carpet. Davis's "Red Carpet Imperial" encapsulates the ethos of street pop art by bringing the personal into the public sphere. The subjects of the painting — two individuals engaged in the simple act of sharing a meal — are universal in their relatability. Yet, they are set against a backdrop that speaks to grandeur and excess. This contrast sketched out in the earthy yet bold tones of the oil paints, evokes a narrative that is both a celebration and a critique of cultural and social dynamics. It's a snapshot of life that is as much about the environment as it is about the individuals within it. Signature Style of Dred66 and Artistic Influence Tyree Davis's signature style is evident in how "Red Carpet Imperial" harmonizes street art's raw energy with a gallery piece's sophistication. The painting carries the hallmarks of graffiti in its background — tagged, signed, and dated by the artist, which is a nod to the graffiti tradition of artists marking their territory and claiming space. This element of the artwork connects the practice of street art with the established conventions of fine art, creating a dialogue between two worlds often seen as disparate. The tactile quality of the foam core gives the painting a three-dimensional feel. At the same time, the mounting on an acrylic sheet provides a modern twist, suggesting the protective glazing found in street art installations. These material choices by Davis reflect a thoughtful consideration of medium and message, ensuring that "Red Carpet Imperial" resonates with the authenticity of street art even as it occupies a different physical and conceptual space. In "Red Carpet Imperial," Davis offers a cultural commentary that is as relevant today as it was at the beginning of the millennium. The work's title, 'Imperial,' hints at a critique of societal structures and the seduction of luxury, a theme deep in street pop art's veins. The painting invites viewers to reflect on the disparities and contradictions that pervade modern life by placing an everyday scene in a context that implies wealth and luxury. Moreover, the painting's year of creation, 2001, situates it at a time when street art began gaining widespread recognition as a legitimate art form. Tyree Davis contributed to this burgeoning recognition through his work, bridging the gap between the street and the gallery and challenging preconceived notions about the value and place of graffiti and street pop art in the art historical canon. Legacy and Continuing Influence Tyree Davis's "Red Carpet Imperial" legacy continues influencing the street art community and the broader art world. It stands as a powerful example of how the aesthetics and themes of street pop art can be translated into different mediums and settings, maintaining their impact and resonance. Davis's work invites ongoing discourse about the intersections between art, culture, and society through its bold visual language and underlying social commentary. This conversation is as vital now as it was two decades ago. "Red Carpet Imperial" is more than just a painting; it is a piece of social fabric, a historical document, and a beacon of street pop art's enduring power to communicate, challenge, and captivate. Tyree Davis, as Dred66, has crafted an artwork that is both a reflection and a critique of the world it inhabits, securing his place in the annals of street pop art history.

Custom Ornate Gold Frame Size 57x45 Evolution and Impact of Mr. Brainwash's Street Pop and Graffiti Artwork The vibrant and irreverent energy of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork has radically transformed the visual landscape of urban culture. These forms of artistic expression, which have their roots deeply embedded in the subversive countercultures of the past, have now ascended to the pantheon of high art, thanks to the works of visionaries like Thierry Guetta, also known as Mr. Brainwash. His unique approach to art, which combines elements of both street art and pop art, has resulted in creations that are not only visually stunning but also rich in cultural commentary. Mr. Brainwash burst onto the art scene with his innovative blend of street art sensibilities and pop art aesthetics. His work often incorporates iconic figures and familiar motifs, recontextualizing them within street art's urban grit and spontaneous energy. His 2017 "Absolute Ali" piece is a powerful testament to this style. By using silkscreen printing and hand embellishments with spray and acrylic paints, Mr. Brainwash creates a multi-layered texture that echoes the complexity of the cultural icon it depicts: the legendary boxer Muhammad Ali. "Absolute Ali" - A Masterpiece of Mixed Media "Absolute Ali" stands as a stunning example of Mr. Brainwash's artistry. This piece showcases a limited edition, mixed media screen print on fine art paper featuring the heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali. The artwork captures the triumphant moment of Ali raising his hands in victory, immortalizing the emotion and power of the sports legend. Through the application of vibrant and chaotic splashes of color, the artwork is infused with a sense of movement and dynamism characteristic of both Ali's boxing style and Mr. Brainwash's artistic approach. This work is not just a mere portrait but a celebration of triumph, diversity, and the indomitable spirit of the human will, as embodied by Ali. The backdrop of the composition is a veritable collage of imagery and color, with each layer of paint and each silkscreened element building upon the last to create a rich tapestry of visual stimuli. The piece is a feast for the senses, with the hand-embellished splatters of paint not only adding texture but also creating an almost palpable energy that radiates from the canvas. The Role of Street Pop and Graffiti Artwork in Contemporary Art Artworks like "Absolute Ali" are pivotal examples of how Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork have shifted the boundaries of traditional art. They reflect the cultural zeitgeist, encapsulating the streets' voices, struggles, and victories. By bringing such work into galleries and the realm of fine art, artists like Mr. Brainwash challenge preconceived notions of what art can be and who it is for. This democratization of art has led to a more inclusive and diverse art world where the line between high art and street culture is increasingly blurred. The limited edition nature of "Absolute Ali," coupled with its hand-embellished features, ensures that each piece is a unique treasure, representing Mr. Brainwash's vision. The artwork's custom ornate gold frame further enhances its allure, juxtaposing the traditionally luxurious connotations of gold and the raw, unrefined essence of street art. For collectors, owning a piece like "Absolute Ali" is not just an investment in art; it is an investment in cultural history, a snapshot of when street art rose to prominence and reshaped the art world. "Absolute Ali" is more than just a work of art. It is a cultural artifact that embodies the essence of Street Pop and Graffiti Artwork.

Eyes On The King Verdict 4-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Fine Speckletone Art Paper by Shepard Fairey x Ted Soqui Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist. 2022 Signed by Shepard Fairey & Ted Soqui, Numbered 18x24 inches. Screenprint on thick cream Speckletone paper. Numbered edition of 600. "I based this “Eyes on the King Verdict” print on photos taken by Ted Soqui during the LA riots of spring 1992. Ted has a long history of photographing activists and protests, which began after the “not guilty” verdicts on April 29, 1992, for the four officers who severely beat Rodney King. I especially love the central pic of a young woman protester in a Malcolm X hat contemplating the scene. I think it is important to consider the symbolic weight of the Rodney King verdict and the emotional impact on communities of color seeking justice and accountability. At the time, 30 years ago, I remember feeling enraged that such a blatant act of police brutality was going unpunished when it was captured on video. It is heartbreaking how frequently similar acts of violence and abuse of power by law enforcement have gone unpunished, even when caught on camera. I don’t ever condone violence or looting, but I understand why LA erupted in riots and protests after the King verdict. When people feel that the American system has failed them repeatedly, things can reach a boiling point. The urge to protest injustice and the right to do so are legitimate, even if looting is not legitimate. The LA riots were a tragic mixture. However, beware of those who try to conflate protest with “criminal agitation” or “inciting a riot.” When the system fails the people, it is nothing short of patriotic for the people to protest for a solution. Ted Soqui and I both signed the “Eyes on the King Verdict” print.” – Shepard

Marley Mcfly, a notable figure in the contemporary street art scene, uses 308gsm Hahnemühle cotton rag paper for this series, a medium known for its fine texture and durability. This choice underscores the importance of materiality in graffiti and street art, which often relies on the quality and character of surfaces to communicate messages. The "Zooka Pac" print stands out for its subject matter and meticulous attention to the craft of printmaking. Creative Expression in Archival Pigment Prints Creating an archival pigment print like "Zooka Pac" requires a balance of technical precision and creative flair. The archival nature of the pigment inks ensures that the artwork resists fading over time, preserving the vividness of Mcfly's color palette and the sharpness of his imagery. The 308gsm Hahnemühle paper, with its delicate yet robust composition, provides the perfect backdrop for the artist's dynamic interplay of color and form. In "Zooka Pac," Mcfly uses the visual language of graffiti art to pay homage to iconic figures, weaving together street art's spontaneity with pop art's focus on popular culture icons. The artwork features a graphic that captures the viewer's attention, a testament to McFly's skillful hand and ability to convey depth and personality within the confines of a two-dimensional space.

The release of "Zooka Pac" as a limited edition also plays into the exclusivity and community aspects of street art culture, where owning a piece of the edition can feel like belonging to an underground society of art connoisseurs. McFly's ability to create art that is accessible yet profound has cemented his reputation in the street art world as an artist who pushes boundaries and challenges perceptions. "Zooka Pac," as the inaugural piece of its series, marks the beginning of a journey into Marley Mcfly's exploration of pop culture through street art. The piece is not merely a representation of an iconic figure but a reflection of the era and a statement on the enduring influence of such figures in the collective memory. Through this work, Mcfly continues to foster a dialogue between street art's rebellious origins and its increasingly recognized status within the canon of contemporary art.

Each piece is unique and colors, painting, spray paintings made by hand by the artist are random, vary, and you may not receive the exact pictured item! "I use photographic images as the basis for the art, but I would sometimes draw directly on the acetate before I burn the screens to bring out parts of the images I felt were important. Each piece for this run was individually screen printed and hand-painted using a variety of acrylic and other mediums. Take notice of the colors rather than the image, even though that might be difficult to do sometimes. The colors represent what's going on in my life at any given moment." - Bobby Hill
