    Flower Power Red AP Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Artist Proof Hand-Pulled Screen Print on Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. AP Artist Proof 2021 Signed & AP Marked Original Run Limited Edition Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print of Red Lotus Flower & Electric Power Lines. "These Flower Power prints are a symbolic urge for a concerted effort to transition off of fossil fuels and to sustainable energy sources. Life, as we know it on Earth, will depend on this transition happening with the support of citizens, government, and corporations. Read "This Changes Everything" by Naomi Klein if you'd like a strong analysis of the severity of the climate crisis and the urgency to transition off of fossil fuels. Proceeds from these prints will benefit 350.org to support their work around the climate emergency. Thanks for caring." -Shepard Fairey Shepard Fairey, the mind behind the iconic OBEY imagery, once again channels his signature blend of street and pop art in the "Flower Power Red AP" silkscreen print. An emblem of countercultural movement, Fairey's piece presents a striking juxtaposition of the serene blue lotus flower against the industrial backdrop of electric power lines. Cast on Speckletone Fine Art Paper, this hand-pulled screen print not only exemplifies the artist's meticulous craftsmanship but also carries a poignant and timely message. The "Flower Power" series, which this print is a part of, stands as a clarion call for humanity's pivot from environmentally harmful fossil fuels to more sustainable energy sources. This transition, as Fairey suggests, is not just a matter of technological or economic feasibility; it is an imperative for the continuity of life as we understand it. The reference to Naomi Klein's "This Changes Everything" underscores the severity of the looming climate crisis, offering readers a comprehensive analysis of our current ecological predicament and the urgency with which we must act. Beyond its aesthetic appeal and socio-political commentary, the artwork demonstrates Fairey's commitment to environmental advocacy. Proceeds from the sale of these prints are directed to 350.org, an organization at the forefront of the global movement to address climate change. Such initiatives are emblematic of Fairey's approach to art — one that is not just visually stimulating but also deeply rooted in activism and the broader call to collective action. Through this masterful piece, Shepard Fairey once again reiterates the power of art in shaping conversations, influencing change, and fostering a more conscious global community.

  • Guard Your Grill Naughty by Nature AP Silkscreen Print by Mark Drew

    Mark Drew Guard Your Grill Naughty by Nature AP Silkscreen Print by Mark Drew

    Guard Your Grill Naughty by Nature A.P. Silkscreen Print by Mark Drew Artist Proof Hand-Pulled Screen Print on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Artwork & Graffiti. A.P. Artist Proof 2018 Signed & A.P. Marked Limited Edition Run Artwork Size 11.73.x16.5 Exploring Urban Narratives in Mark Drew's Screen Print "Guard Your Grill Naughty by Nature" is a compelling silkscreen print by artist Mark Drew, encapsulating street culture's raw energy and ethos. As an Artist Proof from 2018, this hand-pulled screen print on fine art paper signifies a limited edition run that captures the essence of the crossover between street art, graffiti, and pop culture. The artwork, sized 11.73 x 16.5 inches, is marked with the artist's signature and the distinctive A.P., asserting its status as a rare and valuable proof within the edition. This piece is a testament to Drew's mastery in combining textual and visual narratives to create a piece that is as evocative as it is aesthetically striking. The print's title, "Guard Your Grill," references a song by the hip-hop group Naughty by Nature, suggesting a theme of vigilance and resilience. Drew's work often delves into the lexicon of hip-hop, bringing its language into a visual format that resonates with a broad audience. Combining these lyrics with imagery reminiscent of classic comic strips indicates the artist's signature approach to Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork, where he bridges generational and cultural gaps to offer commentary on contemporary society. Mark Drew's Artistic Process and Cultural Impact Mark Drew's artistic process involves carefully balancing handcrafted techniques and thematic street and pop culture exploration. The screen printing process, a favorite among street and pop artists for its ability to produce vibrant, clean lines, allows Drew to create modern and timeless works. The Artist Proof designation of "Guard Your Grill" underscores the meticulous nature of Drew's practice; these proofs are typically pulled before the main edition to ensure the quality of the print, and often, they are kept by the artists themselves or sold as highly collectible items. Drew's integration of hip-hop lyricism into his work does more than pay homage to the genre; it serves as a medium for cultural commentary. By selecting phrases from hip-hop culture and integrating them into visual motifs from mid-20th-century comics, Drew fosters a dialogue between past and present, highbrow and lowbrow, and the mainstream and the marginal. This dialogue is a defining characteristic of Street Pop Art, where the interplay of different cultural elements can lead to a deeper understanding of the issues at hand. The cultural impact of Drew's work is significant. By immortalizing hip-hop's language within the framework of visual art, Drew preserves and honors the music genre's cultural significance while expanding the conversation around it. His pieces, including "Guard Your Grill," function as cultural artifacts that capture the spirit of their time while providing a lens through which future generations can understand the historical context of the 90s hip-hop movement. Drew continues to contribute to the rich tapestry of Street Pop Art and Graffiti through his art, ensuring its relevance and accessibility to a diverse and global audience.

  • Interdimensional Test Print Unique Acrylic Silkscreen Print by Dalek- James Marshall

    Dalek- James Marshall Interdimensional Test Print Unique Acrylic Silkscreen Print by Dalek- James Marshall

    Interdimensional Test Print Unique Hand Painted Acrylic Silkscreen Print by Dalek- James Marshall Color Screen Print on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. TP Test Print 2023 Signed & Tagged Hand Painted Silkscreen Test Print Acrylic HPM Embellished One-of-a-Kind Artwork Size 20x26 Exploring the Layers of 'Interdimensional Test Print' by Dalek - James Marshall James Marshall, known in the art world as Dalek presents 'Interdimensional Test Print,' a unique hand-painted acrylic silkscreen print that captures the vibrant essence of pop street art. The 2023 artwork, sized at 20x26 inches, is not just a visual spectacle but also an embodiment of the experimental nature inherent in creating screen prints as a TP (test print); it bears the marks of an artist at work, the trial stage where colors and compositions are explored before the final edition is run. This test print is tagged and signed by Dalek, bearing the hallmarks of his distinctive style - bold colors, geometric shapes, and a unique sense of depth. The term 'HPM' denotes 'Hand Painted Multiple,' indicating that while the print may be part of a series, each piece is uniquely embellished by the artist, making it one-of-a-kind. The combination of silkscreen printing and hand painting blurs the lines between mass-produced art and unique creations, a hallmark of street pop art and graffiti artwork that often plays with such dichotomies. Dalek's Artistic Process and the Significance of Test Prints Dalek's 'Interdimensional Test Print' provides insight into the artist's process. The test print serves as a creative playground for the artist, a space to experiment with color overlays, composition adjustments, and new techniques. This stage is crucial as it allows the artist to see how different colors interact on the chosen paper, how the overlays create new hues, and how the various elements of the design come together. It's a behind-the-scenes look at the meticulous process involved in screen printing, where each layer must be carefully considered and executed. Using acrylic paint to embellish the print adds a textured, handcrafted dimension to the work, distinguishing it from the more uniform, mechanical process of screen printing. This interplay of precision and spontaneity often characterizes street pop art and graffiti artwork, where the raw, immediate energy of street art meets the calculated design of pop art. 'Interdimensional Test Print' in the Context of Street Pop Art and Graffiti In the broader context of street pop art and graffiti, Dalek's 'Interdimensional Test Print' stands out for its vivid exploration of form and color. Street pop art often takes cues from the bustling urban environment and its cacophony of signs, symbols, and colors. In this piece, Dalek synthesizes these elements into a cohesive whole that is both chaotic and controlled, a reflection of the complex urban landscapes from which street art emerges. The print showcases Dalek's evolution from his earlier graffiti-based work towards a style that incorporates street art and fine art elements. His work has always been characterized by an engagement with the visual lexicon of graffiti—its bold lines, vivid colors, and recurring motifs. Yet, in 'Interdimensional Test Print,' there is a noticeable shift towards a more abstract and complex composition that suggests a deeper engagement with the formal qualities of art-making. This piece not only represents Dalek's artistic journey but also the journey of street pop art itself. The genre has moved from the fringes of the art world to occupy a more central position, where it is recognized for its innovation, technical skill, and capacity to communicate complex themes. 'Interdimensional Test Print,' with its hand-painted layers and meticulous silkscreen technique, is emblematic of this shift, encapsulating the essence of street pop art as a continually evolving form and defying easy categorization. Collectors and admirers of Dalek's work recognize the intrinsic value of a piece like 'Interdimensional Test Print.' As a one-of-a-kind artwork, it holds aesthetic appeal and an intimate connection to the artist's hand and creative spirit. It embodies the dynamism of street pop art and graffiti artwork, a field that continues to push boundaries and challenge our perceptions of art and creativity.

TP AP Artist Test Proof Print 2006 Unsigned. Testing Out The Process From Shepard Faireys Then Workshop. Black Mono Print, Unsigned, No Markings. Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print. TearsBending & Creasing throughout The Margins, Working Artist Copy. Crease Across Lower Right Facing Side. Shepard Fairey's "Chinese Soldier 2 TP Test Print" is a compelling piece that exemplifies the intersection of street art and political commentary, hallmarks of Fairey's work. As an iconic figure in pop and graffiti art, Fairey has long been recognized for his ability to provoke thought and stir public discourse through his art. This particular silkscreen print is a test proof from 2006, emanating from the artist's experimentation with printmaking techniques. Hand-pulled and comprising five colors on thin art paper, this limited edition artwork carries the signature visual style of Fairey's Obey series, which commands attention to the themes of propaganda, control, and societal obedience. The print, depicting a Chinese soldier with a flower protruding from the barrel of his rifle, challenges viewers to question the juxtaposition of military power with peace—a dichotomy often explored in anti-war art and literature. The raw and unrefined nature of this test print adds to its authenticity and makes it a unique collector's piece, especially considering it is a black mono print and is unsigned, with no markings. The lack of signature is particularly notable as it speaks to the essence of street art, where the message often takes precedence over the artist's identity. Measuring 18x24 inches, this print is sizable, allowing for an immersive viewing experience that draws the eye to the stark contrasts and the compelling imagery that has become synonymous with Fairey's work. Fairey's influence on street art extends beyond his visual work; his methods and approach have inspiremanyof artists to see the urban landscape as a canvas for commentary and change. His test prints, such as "Chinese Soldier 2," offer a glimpse into his process and an understanding of the experimentation behind his finished pieces. This artwork, while a test piece, stands alone in its powerful message and aesthetic, encapsulating the energy and defiance of street art culture.

    Idiocracy AP Artist Proof Limited Edition 4-Color Hand-Pulled Silkscreen Print on Fine Art Paper by Shepard Fairey, Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. AP Artist Proof 2016 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 550 Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print "I’ve always felt that art, entertainment, and humor can be the best delivery vehicles for social commentary, so I love the way humor is used in “Idiocracy” to make the social critique more digestible. The movie is a harsh but necessary indictment of the anti-intellectual culture and politics that seem to become the norm more and more everyday. The film is great in a cautionary way and has an enjoyable irony being a somewhat low-brow piece of entertainment about the perils of succumbing to a cultural rejection of anything intellectual or high-brow. In other words, the genius of the film is that it may actually get through to the audience it should reach, rather than just preaching to the intellectual elite" -Shepard Fairey- OBEY The "Idiocracy" AP (Artist Proof) silkscreen print by Shepard Fairey is a thought-provoking piece, symbolizing a potent blend of street art ingenuity with biting social commentary. Released as a limited edition in 2016, each piece in the series of 550 is hand-signed and numbered, affirming its exclusivity and value in the art community. Measuring 18x24 inches, this work is meticulously crafted through a 4-color hand-pulled silkscreen process onto fine art paper, a testament to Fairey’s dedication to quality and detail. Shepard Fairey, a trailblazer in the modern pop and street art scene, often infuses his work with social and political subtext. His "Idiocracy" print draws from the satirical film of the same name, utilizing its thematic core as a springboard for his own artistic expression. The movie's critique of a society in intellectual decline resonates with Fairey's own observations of contemporary culture, where anti-intellectualism is increasingly mainstream. Fairey's print channels the film’s irony, using the medium of pop art to comment on the potential dangers of a society that devalues knowledge and critical thinking. Fairey acknowledges the power of art, humor, and entertainment as catalysts for discussion and reflection on societal norms. By embedding these elements into his "Idiocracy" print, he not only captures the essence of the film's warning but also amplifies its message through his unique artistic lens. The print, which features the movie’s signature branding "Brawndo" and the tagline "It's got electrolytes!", satirically suggests that the brain craves not intellectual stimulation but rather a fictional beverage. This piece stands as a cultural artifact within the sphere of graffiti art, encapsulating the genre's inherent confrontation with social issues. Shepard Fairey's work is often characterized by its ability to transcend the boundaries of traditional art spaces, engaging with the public in environments that are unconventional yet visually impactful. The "Idiocracy" AP print continues this trend, marrying the rebellious spirit of street art with the evocative power of cinema to challenge viewers to consider the trajectory of cultural evolution.

AP Artist Proof 2015 Signed & Marked AP Limited Edition Artwork Size 17x14 "I've waited my whole life to create artwork that incorporated my grandfather Erskine Caldwell's work. The show at White Walls was the perfect chance. He was the bestselling author of over 50 books including “Tobacco Road” and “God’s Little Acre”. The show was about my grandfather's work as a writer and my step-grandmother Margaret Bourke-White’s photography. This was the centerpiece of the show and was used for the postcard as well as advertisement for the show. While I was painting a series based on the novels written by my grandfather I was looking at the lurid pulp cover depictions of seductive southern women on his paperback editions, and the photography of his second wife Margaret Bourke-White. I was interested in his critically acclaimed, socially conscious portrayals of the economic and social conditions of southern sharecroppers, and how his publishers marketed his paperback books as softcore semi-pornography detailing the sex lives of their characters. Margaret Bourke-White’s photos also display an intense interest in race, class, and social problems." - Adam Caldwell

Marked Limited Edition Run Artwork Size 11.42.x16.54 The Fusion of Hip-Hop and Comics in Mark Drew's Silkscreen Print The "Four-Four Biggie" silkscreen print by Mark Drew epitomizes the intriguing blend of street culture and pop art sensibilities. This Artist Proof hand-pulled screen print on fine art paper is a striking example of Drew's limited edition work that seamlessly merges iconic images from classic American comics with lyrics from seminal 90s hip-hop tracks. The piece, marked as an Artist Proof from 2013 and signed by Drew, is a highly collectible item within Pop Street Artwork and Graffiti, representing a limited edition run with 11.42 x 16.54 inches. In this artwork, Drew pulls a quote from The Notorious B.I.G.'s "Kick in the Door," juxtaposing it with the innocence of a cartoon character. This stark contrast is symbolic of his style, which often explores the relationship between childhood imagery nostalgia and hip-hop culture's more grown-up themes. The result is a layered piece that speaks to the complexities of memory, cultural identity, and the passage of time. Artistic Significance of Screen Printing in Street Pop Art Screen printing has a storied history within pop, and street art is celebrated for its ability to reproduce vivid colors and crisp graphics. Drew's adoption of this technique for "Four-Four Biggie" allows for the precision and clarity needed to bring together the boldness of hip-hop lyricism with the simplicity of comic strip art. Hand-pulling each print ensures that every piece is unique, adding individuality to the work collectors and admirers of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork often seek. Artist Proofs, like the one Drew has created for "Four-Four Biggie," are traditionally the first prints pulled from a new screen, used to check the quality of the print before the complete edition is run. They are often kept by the artists themselves, making them rarer and highly prized than the edition prints. The A.P. mark on this print indicates its status as proof, and Mark Drew's signature certifies its authenticity, increasing the artwork's value and desirability.

Through pieces like "Four-Four Biggie," Drew continues contributing to this vibrant and ever-evolving art form.

AP Artist Proof Fine Art Graffiti Street Pop Artwork & Prints

AP Artist Proofs: Elevating the Essence of Street Pop and Graffiti Art

AP (Artist Proof) artworks and prints play an integral role in the tapestry of street pop art and graffiti artwork, embodying a blend of historical reverence and contemporary relevance. Originally, artist proofs were exclusive prints from traditional printmaking, used by artists as a personal reference to monitor the progress and quality of their work. In street pop and graffiti art, however, these proofs have evolved into symbols of authenticity, exclusivity, and artistic exploration. The transformation of the artist's proof's significance from a mere check during the printmaking process to a coveted collector's item is remarkable. In street pop and graffiti art, where authenticity and originality are highly valued, AP artworks and prints command a special status. Marked distinctively with 'AP' to denote their exclusivity, these limited-run prints are identical in quality to the main edition. Still, they are unique due to their limited number and direct link to the artist. This exclusivity makes them desirable to collectors and allows the artists to retain a more personal connection with some of their creations.

Understanding AP Artist Proof Fine Art Artworks & Prints in Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork

In the dynamic and evolving world of street pop art and graffiti artwork, AP (artist-proof) artworks and prints hold a special place. Originally a term used in traditional printmaking, an Artist Proof was a print taken during the printmaking process to see the state of a plate (or screen, stone, block, etc.) while it was being worked on. These proofs were not meant for public sale; they were personal pieces for the artist's collection. However, in contemporary times, especially in street pop art and graffiti artwork, the concept of Artist Proofs has taken on a new significance. AP artworks and prints in the context of street pop and graffiti art are often seen as a mark of authenticity and exclusivity. These pieces are typically part of a limited run of prints, separate from the main edition. They are identical in quality and appearance to the main edition prints but are often numbered differently, usually marked with 'AP' or 'Artist Proof.' The tradition of creating Artist Proofs continues as a homage to the historical practices of printmaking, and it also serves as a way for artists to retain a portion of their work for personal archives or special distributions.

Significance of AP Fine Artworks in the Street Pop and Graffiti Art Community

The allure of AP artworks in street pop and graffiti art comes from their limited availability and direct connection to the artist. Collectors and enthusiasts often view Fine Art prints as more valuable due to their rarity and the perceived closer relationship to the artist's original intent. In a world where reproductions and mass-produced art are commonplace, AP prints stand out for their uniqueness and the personal touch they represent. This scarcity often leads to a higher demand and potentially higher market value, making them a coveted item among collectors. Moreover, the production of AP prints allows artists in the street pop and graffiti art scene to experiment and innovate. Artists might use the AP prints to test different color schemes, materials, or finishing techniques, making each AP a replication and a unique piece. This experimentation is integral to the ever-evolving nature of street and graffiti art, where artists constantly push the boundaries of conventional art.

Rarity and Value in the Art Market

The rarity of AP prints in the street pop and graffiti art scene enhances their allure and, often, their market value. In an era where art is frequently mass-produced and widely distributed, the limited availability of AP prints heightens their desirability. Collectors and art enthusiasts prize these prints for their perceived closeness to the artist's original vision and the sense of owning a unique piece of art history. This rarity is not just a matter of quantity; it's a testament that each AP print has a unique path from the artist's hands to the collector's. For street pop and graffiti artists, AP prints serve as an avenue for experimentation. These proofs allow artists to try different color schemes, materials, or finishes, deviating from the standard edition. This experimentation is crucial in street and graffiti art, where innovation and defying norms are at the heart of the craft. Each AP print, therefore, is not just a replication of the original artwork but also a standalone piece with its distinct character.

AP Artworks as a Cultural and Artistic Statement

In the broader cultural context, AP prints in street pop and graffiti artwork represent more than just a physical piece of art. They symbolize the rebellion against traditional art norms, where street and graffiti artists have long fought for recognition in the mainstream art world. Owning an AP print from a renowned street or graffiti artist is not just about possessing a rare item; it's about supporting and acknowledging the significance of these art forms in the contemporary art narrative. This cultural significance is further amplified by the stories and messages often embedded in street pop and graffiti art. These artworks frequently comment on social, political, and cultural issues, offering a raw and unfiltered perspective often missing from conventional art forms. AP prints of such artworks carry with them the weight of these messages, serving as a reminder of the power of art as a tool for social commentary and change. AP Artist Proof artworks and prints are vital in street pop art and graffiti artwork. They are a testament to these art forms' unique history, creative innovation, and cultural significance, bridging the gap between traditional art practices and contemporary art expressions. Their rarity and connection to the artist's personal touch make them valuable collectibles and a symbol of the evolving narrative of street and graffiti art in the global art scene. AP Artist Proof artworks and prints hold an esteemed position in street pop art and graffiti artwork. They encapsulate these art forms' history, creativity, and cultural significance. The blend of traditional art practice with contemporary expression found in these prints makes them valuable collectibles and cements their role in the evolving narrative of street and graffiti art. As symbols of rarity, authenticity, and artistic innovation, AP prints continue to bridge the gap between the artist's vision and the art enthusiast's appreciation, enriching the global art scene.
