Yeezus Papyrus 2-Color Hand-Pulled Diamond Dust Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Egyptian Papyrus Paper by Marwan Shahin Rare Street Art Famous Pop Artwork Artist. "Yeezus” 2021 Signed, Numbered, Embossed and Branded Silkscreen, Diamond Dust on Egyptian Papyrus Paper Limited Edition of 40, Only 40 will ever be made. 35cm x 45cm Yeezus Papyrus print is handmade by Shahin Studios in Egypt, Marwan Shahin’s Kanye West Portrait, this edition of the artwork created in celebration of Marwan Shahin's new solo exhibition 'Pyramid Schemes' closing in Los Angeles at done galleries. Signed, numbered, branded by Marwan Shahin, and contains an NFC crypto-chip. Marwan Shahin – Yeezus Papyrus and the Symbolic Resurrection of Modern Icons Yeezus Papyrus by Marwan Shahin stands as a commanding collision of ancient legacy and modern mythology. Released in 2021 as a silkscreen print with diamond dust on authentic Egyptian papyrus, this limited edition piece reflects the provocative spirit of Shahin’s street pop art practice. Measuring 35 by 45 cm and limited to just 40 prints, Yeezus Papyrus was handcrafted in Egypt through Shahin Studios and bears the hallmarks of exclusivity: each print is signed, numbered, branded, and embedded with an NFC crypto-chip. At the center of this ornate and symbolic portrait is Kanye West, or Yeezus, depicted through a dense mosaic of motifs—each layered to blur the borders between street icon, cultural prophet, and constructed persona. Rendered in a rich palette of gold, black, and diamond-dusted accents, the portrait is more mask than face. Stars, chains, bolts, and architectural symbols swarm together to construct the visage. Hidden between the symbolism, Kanye’s eyes stare outward, commanding the viewer’s gaze while anchoring the composition in realism. The work was released as part of Shahin’s solo exhibition Pyramid Schemes, which itself was a conceptual exploration of modern pharaohs—artists, influencers, and icons who shape the cultural present much like dynasties shaped the past. Reviving Papyrus in Contemporary Graffiti-Influenced Art By printing on papyrus, Shahin connects his Egyptian heritage to a global street pop art dialogue. Papyrus was once the medium of scribes and scholars in ancient civilization, reserved for recording knowledge, law, and religious stories. In Yeezus Papyrus, this sacred material is recontextualized to carry a different kind of message—one that critiques fame, capitalism, and cultural idolization. The medium itself becomes a subversive choice, grounding a hyper-contemporary subject like Kanye West in a format reserved for pharaohs and gods. This paper choice also highlights Shahin’s signature fusion of traditional craft and modern street influence. His works often blur graffiti aesthetics with ancient symbology, creating a hybrid visual language that reflects the complexities of diasporic identity. Street pop art and graffiti artwork typically embrace impermanence and rebellion. By immortalizing a figure like Kanye in diamond dust on papyrus, Shahin questions what deserves to be preserved—and who has the power to define legacy. Marwan Shahin’s Voice in Contemporary Street Pop Art Shahin’s presence in the graffiti and pop art scene has always leaned toward political and cultural critique. From The Kiss 2, a piece that challenged censorship and oppression, to Yeezus Papyrus, which deconstructs the cult of celebrity, his art navigates danger zones with elegance and boldness. His style is intricate, loaded with geometric repetition and symbolism that invites repeated viewing. Whether you interpret Yeezus Papyrus as praise, critique, or layered commentary, it provokes questions about influence, worship, and the blurred lines between art and propaganda. His inclusion of the NFC crypto-chip only adds another layer of commentary, embedding modern technology into ancient material. In this way, the artwork is not just a visual statement but a meta-object—its physicality, materials, and embedded tech all acting as vessels of commentary on identity, permanence, and power in the age of digital worship. Yeezus as Icon and Artifact In Yeezus Papyrus, Kanye West becomes more than a musician or public figure—he becomes a living glyph, an artifact of influence. Marwan Shahin uses street pop art to expose the machinery of modern myth-making. Each bolt, chain, and symbol speaks to the construction of the icon. Unlike traditional portraits, this one reveals no flesh—just armor, layers, and meaning. It reflects a society obsessed with building personas out of spectacle, and it dares the viewer to question what lies beneath. On papyrus, Kanye becomes both artifact and oracle, entombed in the visual language of power and spectacle, awaiting reinterpretation by every new eye that dares to look.

Created in 2018, this artwork is part of a limited edition of 50, each piece signed and numbered by Listfield, emphasizing the value of exclusivity in art collecting. Dissecting the Pop Art and Street Art Influences The astronaut in "Yoshinoya" is an avatar for exploration, not of space, but of the contemporary world, reflecting the genre's thematic exploration of alienation and the search for meaning amidst a landscape crowded with commercial messages. The juxtaposition of the otherworldly figure against the backdrop of a modernist building and a branded blimp subtly critiques the pervasive influence of consumerism. This imagery resonates with the essence of street pop art and graffiti artwork, where the public is confronted with bold statements woven into the fabric of everyday environments. Technique and Medium: Elevating Street Art Listfield's choice of medium, the archival pigment print, represents a bridge between the transient nature of street art and the permanence sought by fine art collectors. Moab fine art paper, a medium celebrated for its durability and color fidelity, ensures that the vivid hues and intricate details of "Yoshinoya" are preserved, capturing the fleeting beauty of street art in a form that withstands the test of time. The 14x18 inch size of the artwork makes it an intimate yet impactful piece, suitable for diverse spaces from private collections to public exhibitions. In summary, Scott Listfield's "Yoshinoya" is a thought-provoking piece that reflects the artist's critical eye on society's cultural landscapes, melding the immediacy of street pop art with the lasting impact of acceptable art practices. The limited edition print is a testament to the evolving nature of pop art, embracing new techniques and mediums to continue the tradition of challenging viewers and inspiring dialogue through visual art.

Yoshinoya PP Printer Proof Archival Pigment Fine Art Limited Edition Archival Pigment Print on 290gsm Moab Fine Art Paper by Pop Artist Scott Listfield. PP Printers Proof 2018 Signed & Marked PP Limited Edition Artwork Size 14x18 Release: November 09 Scott Listfield's "Yoshinoya" and Its Place in Contemporary Art Scott Listfield's "Yoshinoya" PP (Printer's Proof) archival pigment print is a profound statement in the landscape of contemporary pop art, street art, and graffiti artwork. The print, released on November 9, 2018, is part of a limited edition, distinctly marked as a Printer's Proof and signed by the artist himself. This signifies an edition that is typically kept aside from the main production run and is often used to verify the quality before the final edition is printed. Collectors and enthusiasts of pop art see PP editions as highly desirable due to their rarity and the intimate involvement of the artist in their creation. Symbolism in "Yoshinoya" by Scott Listfield The artwork, measuring 14x18 inches, is printed on 290gsm Moab fine art paper, known for its premium quality and ability to showcase sharp, saturated colors and fine details. "Yoshinoya" features an astronaut, a recurring character in Listfield's work, symbolizing exploration and isolation in the modern world. The astronaut stands before a contemporary home with a floating advertisement blimp for Yoshinoya in the background against a twilight sky. This image is laden with symbolism, the astronaut seemingly contemplating the juxtaposition between the vastness of space and the commercialized urban environment. Exploration of Pop Art Themes in Listfield's Work The print embodies several themes prevalent in street pop art and graffiti artwork: an exploration of the human condition, a critique of consumer culture, and using familiar imagery to provoke thought. Listfield's astronaut is more than a character; it is an avatar for the viewer, navigating a world where corporate branding reaches as far as the stars. The serene residential setting contrasts with the bold commercial symbol overhead, prompting reflections on the intrusion of marketing into every facet of life. Technique and Cultural Commentary In creating "Yoshinoya," Listfield employs the technique of archival pigment printing, a method that ensures long-lasting image stability and color accuracy. This technique is particularly well-suited to capturing the nuanced tones of the twilight sky and the reflective surfaces of the astronaut's suit. By using fine art paper, Listfield elevates the print, traditionally associated with street art's ephemeral nature, to a level of enduring fine art. Scott Listfield's "Yoshinoya" PP archival pigment print is a critical piece of street pop and graffiti artwork. It encapsulates the essence of pop art through its engagement with commercial and cultural symbols while offering a unique perspective on the role and impact of advertising in modern society. The limited edition nature of the print, alongside its quality and thematic depth, positions it as a significant work for collectors and enthusiasts of contemporary art.
