Darien Birks Dax Archival Die Cut Print by Darien Birks
Dax Die-Cut Archival Pigment Fine Art Limited Edition Print on 290gsm Moab Fine Art Paper by Artist Darien Birks Urban Street Artwork. 2022 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 25 Artwork Size 16x16 "I think these images belong on a stamp because of their nostalgic value amongst those that grew up in a community similar to my own. The thought of what they represent make most people smile when they see the art. They bring back memories of when we wanted to look our best, how we wanted to present ourselves to the world at that particular time. When one pomade didn't give us the look that we were trying to achieve (primarily waves), we'd switch to another one—it would create debates about which was the best. The bold colors and interesting use of typography on the tin can packaging were other details of interest, they were iconic, and I wanted to recapture that." –Darien Birks

"I did this piece for a group show put together by Thinkspace Gallery titled LAX/SFO which took place in San Francisco at Hashimoto Contemporary Gallery this past October. I've always wanted to do a piece about the Dequindre Cut, but the images hadn't fit well with any of my larger bodies of work for past shows.I always get my ideas for pieces by wandering around cities and taking pictures. I sometimes start out with an idea or theme in mind, but the weather conditions or what I find will often dictate the direction of a piece or a body of work. I didn't head out that day, intending to explore this corridor, I just ended up there. It was an exciting day!" - Stephanie Buer

Cope2- Fernando Carlo Detroit Series 16 Original Spray Paint Acrylic Painting by Cope2- Fernando Carlo
Detroit Series 16 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 24x24 "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 evolution of style 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 Cope2's Detroit Series 16: An Emblem of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork Cope2, a name synonymous with the gritty vibrancy of street pop art and graffiti artwork, presents us with "Detroit Series 16", which encapsulates the essence of urban expression. This 2010 original painting is a vivid example of the fusion of spray paint, acrylic paint, and mixed media on cradled wood. At a sizeable 24x24 inches, this ready-to-hang piece is an authentic Cope2 creation, complete with his iconic bubble letters that burst with the energy and spontaneity characteristic of his work. 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. The Evolution of Style in Cope2's Work The journey that Cope2 describes in his transition to mixed media paintings is evident in "Detroit Series 16". The artwork serves as a visual narrative of his stylistic evolution, revealing the layers of growth and change that define his career. In his own words, the versatility of his art showcases the breadth of his experience, from the unbridled expressions of 'hardcore graffiti' to the complex, multidimensional pieces he crafts today. The piece tells the story of an artist who is not content with the status quo, continuously pushing the boundaries of his medium to explore new techniques and concepts. The essence of street art, emphasizing accessibility and community engagement, is preserved in this work, even as it embraces elements of pop art's focus on mass media and popular culture. Cope2's work, mainly "Detroit Series 16", is a testament to the transformative power of art to convey personal journeys and societal narratives. It is a visual representation of the artist's belief in change, the potential of graffiti to evolve, and his ability to reflect these shifts through his art. Impact and Legacy of Cope2's Detroit Series The impact of "Detroit Series 16" extends beyond the visual appeal of its vibrant colors and intricate forms. It represents a moment in time within the broader narrative of street art's assimilation into the fine art world. Cope2's work, with its signature aesthetic and commitment to graffiti's core values, has played a pivotal role in redefining the perceptions of street-inspired art. The series, particularly this piece, exemplifies the fluid nature of contemporary art, where genres intersect and new forms emerge. As street art continues to gain recognition and respect within the art community, works like "Detroit Series 16" stand as milestones along this path of cultural acceptance. They are reminders of the roots of this art form in the uncommissioned, often unsanctioned expressions found in urban environments worldwide. 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. The series offers a visual testimony to Cope2's enduring relevance in the art world, highlighting his role not just as an artist but as a chronicler of street art's dynamic and ever-evolving language. Through his creations, Cope2 continues contributing to the dialogue around what constitutes art, who can create it, and where it deserves to be seen.

Askew One Diaspora Ono Original Enamel Acrylic Painting by Askew One
Diaspora Ono Original Painting Enamel and Acrylic on Plexiglass by Askew One Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2015 Signed Original Painting Artwork Size 20x14 Custom Framed "Back in April/May of 2014, I spent around 6 weeks based in Los Angeles making these paintings for my solo show at Known Gallery. I was living and working above the TSL store, trying my best to make enough work to fill the space which was a pretty daunting task. The pieces themselves are a combination of head portraits painted in what I would say are my signature style and then also a series of smaller abstract works that signify the idea of migration through the Pacific, both in a historic and recent sense. The model for the portraits was my friend Sereima aka Stelly, who’s Sydney-based and of Fijian descent. To me, she really represents the changing face of the Pacific in many ways. Following on from a really successful show in Sydney, ‘The Evolving Face’ I wanted to move away from the mugshot poses of the previous body and bring more attitude and exuberance and Sereima was perfect because she is the absolute embodiment of those things." - Askew Diaspora Ono Original Painting by Askew One Diaspora Ono is a striking original painting created in 2015 by renowned graffiti and Street Pop Art artist Askew One.

Denial- Daniel Bombardier Don't Listen To Them HPM Stencil Wood Print by Denial- Daniel Bombardier
Don't Listen To Them Original Hand-Painted Multiple (HPM) on Wood Cradled Panel ready to hang by Denial Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. Canadian artist Denial and Australian-born Ben Frost have joined forces in a bold exhibition of new work that explores the boundaries of appropriation, in confronting re-imaginings of our current dystopian society. Self-confessed ‘visual thieves’, both artists have had a long history of stealing and subverting the cultural icons that the advertising and consumerist world has thrust upon us, to create new and pertinent interpretations that are as confronting as they are humorous. Denial’s art is strongly political and social since the artist takes specific positions against issues, such as capitalism, consumer culture, and advertisements. More importantly, the artist is aware of his choices and motivations: “I like to think of myself as activist pop art. How I relate with cartoons and graphics is a lot easier than I do with photo-realistic stuff" Another aspect of Denial's work is humor. His work is satirical, which, by definition, means that it uses humor as a confronting mechanism.

Shepard Fairey- OBEY Downward Trajectory Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY
Downward Trajectory Hand-Pulled 4-Color Silkscreen Print on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper by Artist Shepard Fairey Limited Edition Pop Art Artwork. 2019 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 500 Artwork Size 24x24 “Downward Trajectory is one of the many new works featured in my 30th-anniversary show in Los Angeles, “Facing the Giant: Three Decades of Dissent and New Works,” -Shepard Fairey Shepard Fairey's work is highly political and social, not only because he is incorporating politicians and slogans in it but more importantly because the artist is primarily interested in approaching as many people as possible, exhibiting his work in the covers of the books, which we read, in the music albums, to which we listen, and on the walls of the streets, where we walk. “If I put art in a daring spot, it’s more moving to the viewer and demonstrates my conviction.”, he says. After all, Fairey, in many cases, directly expresses his views on politics and society, whenever he is given the chance. For example, in the aftermath of the “Hope” poster, he commented the following: “Obama has had a really tough time, but there have been a lot of things that he's compromised on that I never would have expected. I mean, drones and domestic spying are the last things I would have thought [he'd support]”. The political aspect of his work can, also, be seen under the spectrum of Fairey’s activism and humanitarian activity. Many of his works have been created as part of activism campaigns or were sold to support causes relevant to the Arts, animal rights, poverty, medical research, the environment, etc. The artist, however, doesn’t identify himself as an activist: “People ask me if I’m an activist, and my answer is no. I’m an artist with a point of view, but I want to do my part to supplement activist causes I believe in. I feel fortunate to connect with people who find my imagery useful and help spread it.”

Rip N Dip DropX Nerm Nermal Art Toy Figure by Rip N Dip
DropX Nerm Nermal Limited Edition Anatomy Vinyl Art Toy Collectible Artwork by Street Brand Artists Rip N Dip. 2022 Limited Edition of 150 Size 14-inch Nerm Nermal Vinyl Figure Terminator Dissected Art Toy. New In Box The DropX Nerm Nermal vinyl figure is an intriguing embodiment of contemporary pop art's intersection with street culture, produced in a limited edition by the renowned streetwear brand Rip N Dip. This 2022 collectible stands 14 inches tall, capturing the playful yet provocative spirit of the brand's aesthetic. Limited to just 150 pieces, the vinyl art toy offers a unique twist on the character of Nermal, the brand's iconic cat mascot. Here, Nermal is reimagined through an "anatomical dissection," a design approach that lays bare the inner skeletal structure of the figure on one side while maintaining the smooth, playful exterior on the other. This juxtaposition creates a striking visual narrative, reflecting themes of duality and transparency that resonate deeply in street art and pop culture. This artwork, still in its original packaging, is as much a piece of art as a commentary on the modern collectibles market, where items are often valued more for their mint condition than for the artistic statement they make. The dissected aesthetic of the figure, a style popularized in the art toy community, aligns with a fascination with what lies beneath the surface—in terms of the figure's design and, metaphorically, regarding the persona and culture it represents. The exclusive nature of this limited edition release underscores the intersection of art and commerce, a theme prevalent in street art's evolution into gallery spaces and consumer markets. In this context, the Nerm Nermal vinyl figure is not merely a collectible but a tangible slice of the ethos that drives the street art scene, immortalizing the irreverent and often satirical spirit that has long defined both Rip N Dip and street art as a whole.

Jeremy VanCleef Duality Fox Mulder X FIles Silkscreen Print by Jeremy VanCleef
Duality Fox Mulder X FIles Silkscreen Print by Jeremy VanCleef Hand-Pulled on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Screenprint Artwork. 2013 Signed & Numbered on Back Limited Edition of 25 Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print of Fox Mulder X FIles. Duality Fox Mulder X-Files Silkscreen Print by Jeremy VanCleef Duality Fox Mulder is a limited edition silkscreen print created by Jeremy VanCleef in 2013, featuring a haunting interpretation of the iconic character from The X-Files. This hand-pulled screenprint, measuring 18x24 inches, was produced in a signed and numbered edition of only 25, making it a rare and highly collectible piece. The artwork captures the psychological complexity of Fox Mulder, using a bold, minimalist composition combined with high-contrast halftone textures and neon green accents. The print reflects VanCleef’s signature fusion of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, where pop culture subjects are reimagined through an urban, contemporary lens. Concept and Visual Symbolism The composition of Duality Fox Mulder plays with the themes of truth, paranoia, and perception, central to The X-Files narrative. Mulder’s portrait is partially fragmented, with sections of his face missing, replaced by stark, negative space. This deconstruction reinforces the character’s struggle between belief and skepticism, reality and illusion. The hollowed-out eyes add a ghostly effect, suggesting his relentless search for answers has made him both enlightened and consumed by obsession. The surrounding typography includes phrases like Trust No One and The Truth Is Out There, iconic to the series, enhancing the sense of mystery and intrigue. The grainy, distressed background texture mimics photocopied conspiracy files, further reinforcing the idea of secrecy and government cover-ups. The limited color palette, dominated by green and black, directly references the eerie glow often associated with extraterrestrial themes in science fiction, making the print feel both vintage and futuristic. Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Influence Jeremy VanCleef’s work often draws from the aesthetics of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, and this print is no exception. The use of halftone printing techniques, stencil-inspired portraiture, and distressed text elements are reminiscent of the wheatpaste posters seen in urban environments. The neon green accents give the piece a cyberpunk, underground zine quality, reinforcing the DIY ethos of street art culture. The layering of text and imagery, as well as the calculated use of negative space, allows for an interplay between structured design and raw, unfiltered expression. This technique mirrors how graffiti artists use walls as their canvas, layering different visual elements to create an evolving narrative. The deliberate imperfections in the ink application further connect the piece to the handcrafted, analog processes that define the screenprinting movement within street art. Collectibility and Cultural Impact With only 25 prints in existence, Duality Fox Mulder stands as an exclusive collectible within the world of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Jeremy VanCleef’s ability to reinterpret pop culture figures through a subversive, street-inspired approach makes this print highly sought after by collectors of both contemporary printmaking and science fiction memorabilia. The X-Files continues to be a cultural touchstone, with themes of government secrecy, alien life, and truth-seeking remaining relevant in modern discourse. This print captures that ongoing relevance, using street art techniques to elevate Mulder’s character into an iconic visual statement. The meticulous craftsmanship of the hand-pulled silkscreen process ensures that each print retains a unique quality, reinforcing its place as a significant piece in the fusion of urban art and cult television mythology.

Dave Pollot Duck Hunter Dog Archival Canvas Print by Dave Pollot
On the Duck Hunter Dog Limited Edition Archival Pigment Fine Art Prints on Canvas by Graffiti Street Art and Pop Culture Artist Dave Pollot. 2022 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 100 Artwork Size 24x20 Ducker Hunter 8-Bit Stylized Nintendo NES Dog & Flying Realistic Lake Ducks. On the Duck Hunter Dog: Limited Edition Archival Pigment Print by Dave Pollot On the Duck Hunter Dog is a 2022 limited edition archival pigment fine art print by graffiti street art and pop culture artist Dave Pollot. Signed and numbered as part of an edition of 100, this artwork measures 24x20 inches and features an iconic 8-bit dog from the Nintendo NES classic video game Duck Hunt. The dog, rendered in its nostalgic, pixelated form, is juxtaposed against a meticulously painted, realistic landscape where ducks soar above a peaceful lake. Pollot’s ability to merge the whimsical, digital world with the tranquility of traditional art highlights his mastery in combining pop culture references with classical aesthetics, making this piece a standout example of street pop art. The Blending of Pop Culture and Fine Art Dave Pollot has gained recognition for his seamless blending of pop culture icons into classical or traditional settings. On the Duck, Hunter Dog exemplifies this approach by taking an 8-bit, low-resolution character from a beloved 1980s video game and placing it within a beautifully painted pastoral scene. The artwork captures the essence of both worlds—digitally pixelated nostalgia from the gaming era and the serenity of fine landscape painting. The dog from Duck Hunt is one of the most recognizable video game characters for a generation of gamers. Famous for its mocking laughter whenever players miss shooting a duck, this character holds a mix of fondness and frustration for those who grew up playing the Nintendo game. Pollot’s decision to incorporate the dog into a realistic setting adds a layer of humor and transforms the dog from a mere game character into a piece of fine art. The transition from the 8-bit pixelated world into the traditional environment becomes a commentary on how modern culture, particularly digital and gaming culture, has left an indelible mark on society. Street Pop Art and Graffiti Influence in Pollot’s Work Pollot’s work often reflects the bold, accessible elements of street pop art, which incorporates widely recognized symbols from popular culture and everyday life. On the Duck Hunter Dog takes advantage of this approach by using the instantly familiar imagery of the Duck Hunt dog, a playful nod to the audience’s shared memories of the game. Street pop art, like graffiti, relies on the universal nature of its imagery, making art available and understandable to a broad audience, and Pollot’s inclusion of an iconic video game figure achieves precisely that. While Duck Hunt might not have roots in street art, the dog and ducks, when placed within this delicate art setting, mimic the disruptive nature of graffiti. Just as graffiti challenges the traditional norms of where and what art should be, Pollot’s piece similarly challenges the viewer to question the boundaries between high art and low art. By inserting a symbol of mass entertainment into an idyllic landscape painting, Pollot brings the street art philosophy into the gallery space, showing that art can come from anywhere and can evoke emotion or nostalgia regardless of its origins. The pixelated style of the dog further reinforces this connection to street art and graffiti. The clean lines and sharp edges of the 8-bit design stand in stark contrast to the softness of the painted landscape, creating a visual and conceptual tension between the two styles. The juxtaposition of digital and analog art forms is central to Pollot’s work, and in On the Duck Hunter Dog, it mirrors the way graffiti often disrupts and challenges its environment. The Influence of Nostalgia and Playfulness Pollot’s choice of subject matter taps into a powerful sense of nostalgia, particularly for those who grew up playing Duck Hunt on the original NES console. The game was a staple of early home gaming, and its simple yet addictive gameplay left a lasting impression on generations of gamers. By bringing the Duck Hunt dog into a delicate art setting, Pollot captures not only the visual aesthetic of the game but also the emotions it evokes—fond memories of childhood, early experiences with video games, and the frustrating hilarity of the dog’s iconic laugh. The playful nature of this artwork extends beyond its nostalgic appeal. Pollot frequently uses humor in his work, and On the Duck Hunter Dog is no exception. Seeing a pixelated video game character interacting with a realistic landscape is inherently amusing, and it invites viewers to reconsider the boundaries of art and entertainment. The absurdity of the 8-bit dog standing by the water, eagerly watching the ducks in their hyper-realistic form, evokes a sense of playfulness that is central to Pollot’s artistic style. This blending of humor, nostalgia, and fine art creates a unique viewing experience, where the familiar and the unexpected collide. Pollot’s ability to combine these elements in a single piece speaks to his talent for bridging cultural gaps and making art accessible to a wide audience. Archival Pigment Printing and Craftsmanship On the Duck Hunter Dog is created using archival pigment printing, a method known for its high-quality reproduction of colors and details. This process ensures that the artwork retains its vibrancy and precision over time, with minimal risk of fading. The use of a fine art canvas further enhances the richness of the piece, providing a textured surface that contrasts beautifully with the flat, pixelated nature of the 8-bit dog. Pollot’s attention to detail is evident in the crispness of the pixel art and the smooth gradations of the landscape painting, which together create a visually dynamic composition. The limited edition nature of this print, with only 100 copies made, adds to its exclusivity and collectibility. Each print is signed and numbered by Pollot, ensuring that no two pieces are exactly alike. This level of craftsmanship is essential to Pollot’s work, as it reinforces the idea that even though the artwork incorporates mass culture, it remains a unique, handmade object in its own right. On the Duck Hunter Dog by Dave Pollot is a masterful blend of street pop art, graffiti influences, and classical painting. By juxtaposing the iconic 8-bit dog from Duck Hunt with a realistic, serene landscape, Pollot challenges the viewer’s expectations of both art and pop culture. The piece is playful, nostalgic, and expertly crafted, making it a valuable addition to any collection of contemporary art. Through humor, craftsmanship, and cultural references, Pollot continues redefining the boundaries of what art can be.
