    Pink Nature Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints on Museum Fine Art Paper by DAIM Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2016 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 100 Artwork Size 20x13 "In 1989 I wrote my writer’s name for the first time. After all those years I still see this lettering as a self-portrait. By concentrating on a certain idea, the technique or a style, by working on a certain piece for a long time frame, by totally engaging in this process, you get to know a lot about yourself and your personality. And this of course can be seen again in the works, that I create.I wanted to realize something special: The series of these three prints is chosen so that you can reproduce the entire spectrum of my work. My use of the name DAIM is becoming more and more complex in them. My development as a human being strongly corresponds with this process. It has something to do with personal maturing, the general situation of aging." - Daim Pink Nature Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints by DAIM Pink Nature by DAIM is a striking example of street pop art & graffiti artwork, demonstrating the artist’s mastery of three-dimensional lettering and depth-driven compositions. The limited edition archival pigment print on museum fine art paper represents a continuation of DAIM’s exploration of form, structure, and identity within the world of graffiti. The use of bold shading, explosive movement, and fragmented angles transforms traditional graffiti into a sculptural, almost architectural composition that pushes the boundaries of visual perception. DAIM’s Signature 3D Graffiti Technique As one of the pioneers of three-dimensional graffiti, DAIM, whose real name is Mirko Reisser, has built an unmistakable style that blends mathematical precision with organic motion. His graffiti lettering breaks free from flat surfaces, giving the illusion of objects bursting into reality. In Pink Nature, the carefully arranged sharp edges, shadowing, and light play create an almost tangible depth and texture, reinforcing his reputation as one of the most technically skilled graffiti artists in the world. His influence spans murals, street art installations, and fine art prints, all of which demonstrate his dedication to letter-based abstraction. Every line and color gradient in his work is meticulously calculated, yet the result feels spontaneous and explosive. The dynamic splashes of paint and carefully placed highlights in this print further enhance the raw energy that graffiti is known for, while maintaining a refined, futuristic aesthetic. The Concept of Self-Portrait Through Graffiti DAIM has often spoken about his graffiti name as a form of self-portrait, evolving alongside his personal and artistic growth. His focus on lettering reflects not only his technical skill but also his philosophical approach to the graffiti movement. He believes that by continuously refining and reinventing the way he presents his name, he is also capturing his own personal transformation over time. Pink Nature belongs to a series of works that encapsulate DAIM’s evolving artistic vision, emphasizing how his approach to graffiti art has matured over the years. The interplay of pink, green, and earth tones in the piece conveys a sense of organic growth and destruction, mirroring the cycle of creativity itself. The bold angular letter fragments appear to explode and reconstruct simultaneously, offering a visual representation of the tension between creation and decay that exists in street art culture. DAIM’s Impact on Modern Street Pop Art DAIM has been instrumental in pushing graffiti into the realm of contemporary art, gaining recognition not only on city walls and abandoned buildings but also in galleries and museums worldwide. His scientific approach to graffiti design, combined with his dedication to realism and depth, sets him apart in the movement. Pink Nature, with its meticulous execution and controlled chaos, embodies the fusion of graffiti and fine art, demonstrating how street pop art & graffiti artwork can be both raw and refined, explosive yet controlled. By transferring his iconic street techniques onto archival fine art prints, DAIM ensures that his work remains preserved, appreciated, and celebrated in multiple artistic spaces. His ability to translate the energy of graffiti into high-art formats continues to inspire new generations of street artists and pop art enthusiasts alike.

    Shadow Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints on Museum Fine Art Paper by DAIM Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2016 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 100 Artwork Size 20x13 "In 1989 I wrote my writer’s name for the first time.

It has something to do with personal maturing, the general situation of aging." - Daim Shadow Limited Edition Archival Pigment Print by DAIM Shadow by DAIM is a striking three-dimensional graffiti composition that explores the contrast between depth, structure, and abstraction. This archival pigment print on museum fine art paper presents the artist’s trademark illusion of sculptural lettering, where sharp, angular forms appear to emerge from and recede into the background. The play of light and shadow in this work enhances its monumental presence, making it a prime example of modern graffiti transformed into fine art. Three-Dimensional Lettering and Architectural Influence DAIM, born Mirko Reisser, is internationally recognized for his pioneering role in three-dimensional graffiti lettering. His approach integrates architectural precision with abstract movement, resulting in compositions that seem to break free from the two-dimensional plane. Shadow embodies this mastery by using layered depth, shading, and an interplay of light and darkness to create the illusion of floating structures. This piece utilizes a muted palette of grays, blacks, whites, and hints of blue, creating a stark, industrial aesthetic. The shadows cast by each fragment of the lettering give the impression that the composition exists within an atmospheric void, emphasizing the dynamic energy of destruction and reconstruction within the piece. The letterforms remain highly stylized yet nearly deconstructed, symbolizing the fluidity of identity and artistic evolution. Personal Evolution and Graffiti as Self-Reflection For DAIM, graffiti is more than a visual statement—it is a self-portrait. His approach to lettering has evolved over the decades, becoming increasingly complex and introspective. He has described his work as a reflection of personal growth, with each composition marking a distinct phase in his artistic and personal journey. Shadow represents a refinement of his three-dimensional technique, stripping down elements to their most essential yet impactful forms. The controlled chaos of the composition reflects a balance between movement and stillness, showcasing DAIM’s ability to create a harmonious tension within his work. The controlled drips along the edges of the piece allude to the organic roots of graffiti, reminding viewers of the raw, urban origins of the art form. The Impact of DAIM on Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork DAIM’s contributions to street pop art & graffiti artwork have established him as a leading figure in three-dimensional urban lettering. His work blurs the lines between graffiti, architecture, and contemporary abstraction, challenging traditional notions of what street art can achieve. Shadow stands as a testament to the depth and sophistication of graffiti as an art form, pushing the boundaries of lettering into the realm of fine art and modern design. By mastering light, perspective, and structure, DAIM has elevated graffiti into a fully immersive visual experience, leaving an indelible mark on the art world. His ability to transform simple letters into multidimensional sculptures continues to inspire the next generation of urban artists.

  • Offering Standard Archival Print by Taylor White

    Taylor White Offering Standard Archival Print by Taylor White

    Offering- Standard Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints on 310gsm Fine Art Paper by Taylor White Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. "This is one of a few springboard pieces into my visual exploration of bodies in motion. It evolved from the idea of the phenomenal impact of the human body in space, the dance of the soul, and the flow of forms colliding. When using the body as a tool of explosive expression, one dares to take the journey into a territory that requires immense trust, the sacrifice of oneself on the altar of vulnerability. Dance, if done fully and authentically, renders the soul completely raw. I started studying a form of modern dance called Contact Improvisation, and that study has opened me up to a new set of curiosities which I’ve been able to explore both physically in space, and visually on the page. It became about the point of surrender, of the sacrifice of the ego and all its trappings. To 'dance' on paper has been entirely mind-opening and I’ve tackled it with a renewed spirit." - Taylor White

Archival Pigment Prints Graffiti Street Pop Artwork

Archival Pigment Prints: Revolutionizing Fine Art Preservation in Street Pop and Graffiti Art

Archival pigment printmaking has emerged as a prominent method in producing fine art prints, particularly in pop art, street art, and graffiti artwork. This process is revered for its high quality, durability, and color accuracy, making it an ideal choice for artists and collectors who seek to preserve the vibrancy and detail of original artworks in the context of street pop art and graffiti, where the art is often transient or exposed to harsh outdoor elements, archival pigment printing offers a means to immortalize these ephemeral works. Archival pigment print technology has become a cornerstone in preserving and disseminating pop art, street art, and graffiti artwork. These prints are known for their superior quality and longevity, essential for maintaining the fidelity of artwork over time. By utilizing high-end inkjet printers with archival quality inks on acid-free papers, archival pigment prints offer artists and collectors the opportunity to hold onto a piece of history with the assurance that it will resist fading and degradation for generations. The technical process of creating an archival pigment print involves spraying microscopic droplets of pigment-based ink onto high-quality paper or canvas. This method allows for an impressive range of color and detail, capturing the nuances of the original artwork with remarkable precision. The archival inks used are designed to be stable over time, resisting the environmental factors that typically degrade prints, such as light exposure and humidity. As a result, these prints can retain their color and detail for up to and beyond 100 years under proper conditions.

Understanding the Archival Pigment Print Process

The process of creating an archival pigment print begins with the selection of high-quality, acid-free paper or canvas. This choice is crucial as it ensures the longevity of the print. The archival quality of the paper or canvas prevents yellowing and degradation over time, preserving the integrity of the artwork. The artwork is digitized once the substrate is selected, typically through high-resolution scanning or photography. This digitization captures every detail of the original work, including texture, color gradients, and fine lines. The archival pigment print process's core uses pigment-based inks. Unlike dye-based inks, pigment inks consist of tiny, encapsulated particles that sit on top of the paper rather than being absorbed into it. This quality contributes to the superior color vibrancy and sharpness of the prints. Moreover, pigment inks are known for their excellent lightfastness and water resistance, which means the prints are less likely to fade or be damaged over time than those made with dye-based inks. Technological advancements in inkjet printers have been integral to developing archival pigment printmaking. Modern inkjet printers used in this process can produce a wide color gamut, allowing for the accurate reproduction of the complex and often vibrant colors typical in street pop art and graffiti. These printers spray microscopic droplets of ink onto the paper or canvas, allowing for precision and consistency in print quality. The high detail achievable with archival pigment printing is particularly beneficial for street pop art and graffiti artists. This detail ensures that even the subtlest nuances of spray paint, brushstrokes, or marker lines are captured and faithfully reproduced. For artists who work with mixed media or have a detailed style, this method of printmaking can replicate the textures and layers of their original artwork with remarkable fidelity.

Importance to Street Pop Art and Graffiti

For street pop art and graffiti, which are inherently temporary and subject to the unpredictable elements of the urban environment, archival pigment prints serve as a bridge between fleeting street art and enduring art collectibles. The ability to reproduce artwork that may otherwise be lost to time is invaluable for the artists who wish to preserve their work and the enthusiasts who seek to collect and protect these cultural artifacts. The translation of street art into archival pigment prints allows for a seamless transition from wall to gallery, ensuring the longevity and accessibility of the art form. Within the art collecting world, archival pigment prints hold a special place due to their high quality and durability. Collectors who invest in these prints can do so with confidence, knowing that they are acquiring a piece that represents the intersection of technological advancement and artistic expression. These prints are often indistinguishable from traditional photographs or lithographs, providing a modern alternative that upholds the aesthetic qualities of the original work. Archival pigment prints have played a significant role in democratizing art. They enable more comprehensive access to works that might otherwise be unattainable due to their original size, location, or the artist's fame. By offering a high-quality reproduction, artists can share their work with a broader audience, extending the reach of street pop art and graffiti beyond the streets and into homes and institutions. Archival pigment prints embody the convergence of art and technology, serving as a testament to the evolving nature of art preservation and sharing. As the interest in street pop art and graffiti artwork continues to grow, so does the value of archival pigment printing in ensuring that the vibrancy and spirit of these art forms are maintained for future enjoyment and study. Through this medium, the dynamic visuals of the street are granted a life beyond the brief, celebrated, and preserved in the annals of art history.

Archival Pigment Prints in Art Preservation and Collecting

From an art preservation standpoint, archival pigment prints offer a sustainable way to conserve and share street art and graffiti. Given the often-illegal nature of graffiti and the fleeting existence of many street art pieces, these prints provide a legal and permanent artwork form. They allow artists to document and sell their work without risking it being painted over or deteriorated. In art collecting, archival pigment prints have gained popularity due to their museum-quality reproduction and longevity. Collectors appreciate these prints for their ability to retain the look and feel of the original artwork for decades. This longevity is particularly appealing in the context of street pop art and graffiti, recognized for their vibrant colors and bold imagery – characteristics well-preserved in archival pigment prints. The future of archival pigment printmaking in the context of street pop art and graffiti looks promising. As technology advances, there is potential for even greater accuracy in color reproduction and detail. Environmental concerns lead to innovations in eco-friendly inks and sustainable printing practices, aligning with the socially conscious themes often present in street art and graffiti. Archival pigment printmaking has become a vital tool in documenting, preserving, and disseminating street pop art and graffiti artwork. Its ability to produce high-quality, durable, and accurate reproductions has made it a favored choice among artists and collectors. As the street art and graffiti movements continue to evolve, archival pigment prints will undoubtedly play a significant role in ensuring that these vibrant and expressive art forms are recovered to time.
