    Shepard Fairey- OBEY War By Numbers VSE OG Colorway HPM Stencil Shepard Fairey x Ernesto Yerena Montejano x Hecho Con Ganas x Obey

    War By Numbers VSE- OG Colorway Variable Stencil Edition Acrylic Artwork on Hand Deckled Fine Art Paper by Street Artists Shepard Fairey x Ernesto Yerena Montejano x Hecho Con Ganas x Obey. 2022 War By Numbers VSE- OG Colorway 20x26.5 inches. Signed & Numbered Ultra Rare Edition of 14. Variable Stencil Edition (VSE) on Paper. Signed by Shepard Fairey, Hecho Con Ganas publishing chop in the lower-left corner. "Created during the Iraq war, but the quest for peace requires perpetual vigilance, and the current invasion of Ukraine is a reminder of the brutality of war. The “War By Numbers” image is a statement about not becoming desensitized by war to the extent that it becomes as banal as a paint-by-numbers image. The “Peace Elephant” is an appeal to our sense of Karma and harmony with the world around us." - Shepard Fairey A profound intersection of artistry and activism emerges in "War By Numbers VSE- OG Colorway," an emblematic piece presented by the collaborative brilliance of Shepard Fairey, Ernesto Yerena Montejano, Hecho Con Ganas, and Obey. Showcased on meticulously hand-deckled fine art paper, this 20x26.5 inch artwork not only exemplifies the prowess of its creators but also delves deeply into the social and political fabric of contemporary global scenarios. Dated 2022, this piece holds the distinction of being an ultra-rare Variable Stencil Edition (VSE) on paper, with only 14 such editions in existence, each one thoughtfully signed and numbered. Notably, the presence of the Hecho Con Ganas publishing chop in the lower-left corner augments its authenticity and intrinsic value. While the artwork itself is a marvel of color interplay and design, its underlying message is both timeless and urgent. Shepard Fairey's own words elucidate the motivation behind its creation, highlighting its inception during the Iraq war. Yet, its resonance extends beyond that particular conflict. The piece emerges as an enduring reminder of the costs of warfare, particularly with the poignant backdrop of the recent Ukraine invasion. Fairey astutely draws attention to the dangers of becoming inured to the horrors of conflict, suggesting that society must never allow war's devastation to become as commonplace and mundane as a paint-by-numbers image. This sentiment is further emphasized by the inclusion of the "Peace Elephant," symbolizing the universal aspiration for harmony and an appeal to humanity's collective conscience. In the vast realm of pop art, street art, and graffiti, "War By Numbers" stands as a testament to art's ability to transcend aesthetic appeal, challenging viewers to confront and engage with the world's most pressing issues.

  • Art in Action Lichtenstein Archival Print by Jeff Gillette

    Jeff Gillette Art in Action Lichtenstein Archival Print by Jeff Gillette

    Art in Action- Lichtenstein Archival Pigment Fine Art Limited Edition Print on 290gsm Moab Entrada Paper by Artist Jeff Gillette, Street Pop Art Graffiti Legend. 2022 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 100 Archival Pigment Print on 290gsm Moab Entrada Fine Art Paper Artwork Size 16x20 "Art in Action" is a stimulating archival pigment fine art limited edition print by the street pop art graffiti legend Jeff Gillette. Manifested on 290gsm Moab Entrada fine art paper, this captivating work of art, sized at 16x20 inches, encapsulates the dynamic intersection of pop art sensibility with the raw, energetic essence of street art. Signed and numbered in a limited edition of just 100 pieces in 2022, this print infuses Gillette's gritty, critical eye into the colorful, bold graphics reminiscent of Roy Lichtenstein's iconic style. Gillette's work is characterized by a juxtaposition of the whimsical and the frail, often contrasting Disney-like imagery with dystopian environments, thereby creating a thought-provoking dialogue on consumerism, culture, and the underlying narratives of society. His "Art in Action" piece is a perfect illustration of this theme. The visual pop art allusion in print, which reflects Lichtenstein's famed comic strip-inspired art, is cleverly subverted by Gillette's infusion of a street-wise attitude, adding a layer of satire and commentary to the vibrant explosions and comic book aesthetics that defined a generation's art. The explosive "WHAM!" in the backdrop directly nods to Lichtenstein's style. Yet, Gillette ensures his interpretation stands distinct, inviting contemplation on the implications of such imagery in a world far removed from the innocuous panels of mid-century comic books. This artwork's inclusion of the chaotic character figures provides a stark, reflective contrast to the clean, mechanized precision of Lichtenstein's work, suggesting a deeper narrative beneath the surface gloss of pop culture. By merging the techniques and finish of fine art prints with the visceral impact of street and graffiti art, Gillette bridges two worlds often seen in contrast. His work doesn't just hang on a gallery wall; it invokes the street-level engagement and societal critique that is the hallmark of the most impactful graffiti art. Collectors and enthusiasts of this genre will find "Art in Action" a thought-provoking addition to their collection, offering a piece that is as conversation-starting as it is aesthetically compelling.

The Influence of Airplane Imagery in Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork

Incorporating airplanes, jets, and plane imagery in street pop art and graffiti artwork is a fascinating aspect that reflects the intersection of technology, movement, and artistic expression. The representation of airplanes in these art forms is more than just a visual motif; it symbolizes freedom, innovation, and the human desire to transcend boundaries. Various artists have consistently explored this theme, each bringing a unique perspective to the canvas of urban landscapes. Airplane imagery in graffiti art first gained prominence during the late 20th century, coinciding with the rise of street art as a recognized form. These representations often served as metaphors for escape and transcendence, resonating with the underlying ethos of graffiti as a form of resistance and self-expression. Graffiti artists often used the symbol of an airplane to convey messages about the fast-paced changes in society, the advent of globalization, and the world's shrinking through advanced technology.

Stylistic Elements and Symbolism

Regarding style, airplanes in street art and graffiti often feature dynamic lines and vibrant colors, capturing the speed and energy of flight. Artists utilize various techniques to depict motion and perspective, making the images of jets and planes appear as if they are soaring off the wall. This dynamism is not only a technical achievement but also serves to draw the viewer's eye and engage them in the artwork's narrative. Symbolically, airplanes in Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork often represent the breaking down geographical and social barriers. They symbolize the new era of connectivity and the possibility of exploring new horizons, literally and metaphorically. For many artists, the image of an airplane can also be a commentary on the cultural and social impacts of travel and migration, reflecting on how these dynamics shape our modern world.

The Cultural and Social Resonance of Airplane Imagery

The cultural and social resonance of airplane imagery in street art is significant. It is not uncommon to see murals in urban settings that showcase airplanes as the centerpiece or as part of a larger narrative. These artworks often serve as conversation starters, inviting viewers to contemplate their experiences with travel, movement, and progress. In many cities, murals depicting airplanes have become landmarks in their own right, celebrated for their artistic merit and the stories they tell. Furthermore, airplane imagery in street art has extended beyond the walls to other mediums. It is frequently seen in prints, clothing designs, and digital art, demonstrating this motif's versatility and enduring appeal. This crossover into different mediums is a testament to the impact of airplane imagery on contemporary culture, resonating with people from diverse backgrounds and experiences.

The Future of Airplane Imagery in Street Art

Looking ahead, the future of airplane imagery in Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork seems poised to continue evolving. As technology advances and global connectivity increases, artists find new ways to interpret and represent the concept of flight.
