The collaboration between these two stalwarts of the street art scene synthesizes their distinct artistic voices into a unified visual statement that resonates with the energy and ethos of the urban landscape from which it draws inspiration. OG Slick, whose roots are firmly planted in the street culture of Los Angeles, brings his iconic imagery to the collaboration. His contributions to the C/S I print are characterized by the cartoon-like gloves that gesture towards the viewer, a direct and impactful use of imagery that has become a signature of his work. This graphical element starkly contrasts the intricate background, inviting a dialogue about the interaction between pop culture and the subversive nature of graffiti art. Signature Elements and Cultural Commentary in C/S I Chaz Bojorquez's influence within the C/S I print is unmistakable.

Bojorquez's artistry with letters goes beyond mere aesthetics, delving into the identity politics and social narratives that have always been at the heart of his work. The distressed pearl white finish on the print adds a dimension of age and texture, suggesting a weathered quality often found in street art exposed to the elements.

The Stonehenge White Fine Art Paper, known for its quality and durability, reinforces the intention to preserve the fleeting beauty of street art in a form that stands the test of time. The Limited Edition Nature of C/S I and Its Collectibility The limited edition nature of the C/S I print underscores its value within street pop art and graffiti artwork. The fact that only 150 of these prints exist, each signed by the artists OG Slick and Chaz Bojorquez, elevates the work from mere reproduction to a coveted art piece. Collectors and enthusiasts of street art are drawn to the visual appeal of the work and the cultural capital that such a limited series represents. Owning a piece of this series is akin to holding a fragment of street art history, a snapshot of the moment when two renowned artists converged to leave an indelible mark on the art world. Impact of C/S I on the Perception of Street Art The impact of C/S I goes beyond the boundaries of traditional graffiti and street art. By situating the work within the context of pop art, OG Slick and Chaz Bojorquez challenge the viewer to reconsider the distinctions between high art and urban art forms. The collaboration speaks to the versatility and adaptability of street art, its ability to comment on and absorb influences from various artistic movements, and its persistent quest to gain legitimacy and respect within the art hierarchy. The print's visual elements reflect a sophisticated understanding of cultural symbols, iconography, and the power of the written word, all staples in street pop art and graffiti artwork. The collaboration between OG Slick and Chaz Bojorquez on C/S I is symbolic of a movement that refuses to be categorized simplistically, instead insisting on a complex identity as fluid and vibrant as the streets from which it originates.

    C/S II 9-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Distressed Pearl White Finish Silkscreen Print on 250gsm Stonehenge White Fine Art Paper by OG Slick x Chaz Bojorquez Rare Street Art Famous Pop Artwork Artist. 2016 Signed by OG Slick x Chaz Bojorquez & Numbered Limited Edition of 150 P2 The Fusion of Styles in C/S II by OG Slick and Chaz Bojorquez The collaboration between OG Slick and Chaz Bojorquez on the C/S II silkscreen print represents a significant moment in street pop art and graffiti artwork. This piece, created in 2016, is a fine example of how two artists can merge their distinctive styles to create a unique work that reflects their individual artistic identities. The 9-color hand-pulled limited edition distressed pearl white finish silkscreen print on 250gsm Stonehenge White Fine Art Paper is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship and artistic vision shared by the two legends of the street art scene. OG Slick, an artist with a background deeply rooted in the Los Angeles graffiti movement, brings his iconic imagery and urban sensibilities to the piece. Known for his bold and often subversive visual language, Slick’s contribution to C/S II is immediately apparent in the stylized cartoon hands and contemporary iconography that speaks to street culture's commercial and gritty aspects. His work has often been characterized by a playfulness that belies a more profound commentary on social and cultural issues. This is evident in how he manipulates familiar symbols and characters to challenge viewers’ perceptions. Chaz Bojorquez's Signature Style in C/S II Chaz Bojorquez’s influence in the piece is equally profound. His signature style, which draws from the Cholo graffiti tradition and his sophisticated understanding of typography, complements Slick’s more whimsical elements with a sense of gravity and history. The calligraphic strokes and the intricate lettering in the background of C/S II are unmistakably Bojorquez’s, showcasing his mastery over form and ability to convey a rich cultural narrative through his art. His work captures the essence of a subculture that has often been marginalized, elevating it to a level of fine art that demands recognition and respect. The collaboration between these two artists on C/S II is a dialogue between different eras and styles within the street art genre. While OG Slick’s work is often seen as a bridge between the early days of street art and the modern aesthetic, Bojorquez represents the soulful, enduring aspects of graffiti art woven into the cultural fabric of urban life. Together, their work on this print creates a complex interplay of color, form, and symbolism that celebrates street art’s past and a bold statement about its future. Cultural Significance of the Limited Edition C/S II Print The cultural significance of the C/S II print lies in its embodiment of the spirit of street pop art and graffiti artwork. Limited to an edition of 150, each print is signed by OG Slick and Chaz Bojorquez, making it a rare and collectible piece that holds great value for street art lovers. The decision to limit the edition not only underscores the value of the artwork but also speaks to the ethos of street art, where the fleeting nature of the medium often means that works can be temporary and transient. By capturing this transient essence in a tangible form, OG Slick and Bojorquez have created a lasting artifact of street culture. The piece is particularly notable for its distressed pearl white finish, which adds texture and depth to the print. This finish gives the artwork a tactile quality that invites closer inspection and suggests a history behind the image as if it has been weathered by time and the elements – a nod to the real-world conditions of street art. The use of Stonehenge White Fine Art Paper further elevates the piece, marrying the raw energy of graffiti with the refinement of fine art printing techniques. Impact and Legacy of C/S II in Street Art and Pop Culture The impact and legacy of C/S II in street art and pop culture are significant. By bringing together two influential artists from different generations, the print bridges the early days of Los Angeles graffiti and the contemporary street art scene. It reflects the genre's evolution, showing how it can be a personal means of expression and a sophisticated art form. The print’s aesthetic, marked by the interplay of Bojorquez’s calligraphic skill and Slick’s graphic sensibility, exemplifies the potential of street art to engage with broader artistic movements and to be recognized in the wider context of pop art.

    Estevan Oriol Estevan Oriol LA Fingers Black Spray Paint Can Artwork by Montana MTN

    Estevan Oriol- LA Fingers Black Limited Edition Rare Spray Paint Can Artwork Crossover by famous graffiti paint maker Montana MTN. Estevan Oriol LA FINGERS, 2021 Limited Edition of 500 Montana Spray Paint Can Color: Black Estevan Oriol is an internationally celebrated professional photographer, director and entrepreneur. Beginning his career as a club bouncer turned tour manager for popular Los Angeles–based rap groups Cypress Hill and House of Pain, Oriol developed his passion for photography while traveling the world. He began documenting life on the road and established a name for himself amid the emerging hip-hop scene. In 1995, Chicano street photographer Estevan Oriol held a now-famous photo session in which he asked a Latina model with a fierce set of claws to arrange her bling-gilded fingers in the shape of two letters: L and A. Her black, pillowy lips pouting in the background, the image presented a mesmerizing, defiant symbol of West Coast pride. It reclaimed the typography of the Hollywood sign and it reimagined the Dodgers’ interlocking L.A. symbol. Not since the palm tree, the smoggy freeway or the lonely Hockney swimming pool had one image so succinctly captured the essence of Los Angeles — inaccessible and forbidden until Oriol (with its full blessing) delivered it to us.

Arm Hand & Fist
Graffiti and street art have long been a powerful medium of expression, breaking the boundaries of traditional art forms by allowing artists to showcase their talent in urban landscapes. A popular motif seen in graffiti and street art prints is the human hand, fist, and arm. These artistic representations can evoke a myriad of emotions, spark conversations, and be visually captivating. The hand, fist, and arm are often used as symbols of unity, resistance, and empowerment. In graffiti and street art prints, they represent the collective power of the people, defying the forces that seek to oppress and silence them. The clenched fist, in particular, has become an iconic symbol of solidarity, transcending racial, cultural, and geographical boundaries. Artists often incorporate these elements into their work, sometimes in the form of stencils, murals, or wheatpaste prints. One notable example of such representation is the world-famous mural "The Power of a United Fist" painted in the 1980s in a historically significant district of San Francisco. The piece features an enormous fist made up of multiple hands, illustrating the strength of unity in the face of adversity. This mural has since inspired countless other works of street art and has become an integral part of the global movement for social justice. In addition to their symbolic nature, hands, fists, and arms can also bring a sense of dynamism and movement to street art prints. The inherent intricacies of these body parts offer artists a unique opportunity to showcase their skills, as well as to convey emotions, thoughts, or stories. For instance, an outstretched arm reaching for the sky can symbolize aspiration or defiance, while hands touching or interlocking can signify connection and support. Moreover, the art of handstyle, or the technique of creating stylized lettering using one's hands, is a fundamental component of graffiti culture. Derived from calligraphy and sign painting, handstyles are often characterized by fluid lines, varying thicknesses, and elaborate flourishes. In this context, the hand itself becomes an essential tool for creating unique and captivating graffiti prints, often distinguishing one artist from another based on the distinctiveness of their individual style. An interesting aspect of hand, fist, and arm depictions in graffiti art is the fusion of different styles and mediums. Artists may incorporate elements of pop culture, political imagery, or personal experiences to add depth and context to their work. In doing so, they not only capture the essence of a specific moment in time but also invite viewers to explore and interpret the art based on their perspectives. Some notable graffiti artists who have expertly utilized the hand, fist, and arm motif in their work include Shepard Fairey, known for his "Obey Giant" series, and the mysterious British street artist Banksy, who has incorporated these symbols in several of his thought-provoking pieces. Both artists have successfully used these elements to make their work resonate with audiences around the world, while still retaining a sense of authenticity and cultural relevance. The hand, fist, and arm serve as powerful motifs in graffiti and street art prints, symbolizing resistance, unity, and empowerment. The versatility of these elements enables artists to create striking visuals that spark conversations, challenge societal norms, and offer a glimpse into the minds of the creators. As graffiti and street art continue to evolve and expand their reach, we can anticipate that these symbols will remain an integral part of the genre, captivating audiences and inspiring future generations of artists.
