  • Salvage Can 3 Original Spray Paint Can Sculpture Painting Eddie Colla

    Eddie Colla Salvage Can 3 Original Spray Paint Can Sculpture Painting Eddie Colla

    Salvage Can 3 Original Painting on Spray Paint Can Mixed Media Sculpture Artwork by street artist graffiti legend Eddie Colla. 2018 Signed Original Spray Paint Acrylic Mixed Media on Spray Paint Can Artwork Size 3x8 "I made this series of cans in China in 2018. I had been waiting for supplies to start working on larger pieces. The residency where I was had kept all their empty spray cans. I started making these small pieces from the used spray cans. It wasn't anything I planned; I just had an unexpected amount of free time waiting for my materials to arrive, so I worked with what was available. Each can is signed and dated on the bottom of the can." -Eddie Colla. Eddie Colla's Creative Philosophy "Salvage Can 3" by Eddie Colla is a striking mixed-media sculpture that exemplifies the innovative nature of street pop art and graffiti artwork. Created in 2018 as part of a series during a residency in China, this artwork represents a unique fusion of spontaneity and intentionality that defines Colla's approach to art. Utilizing discarded spray paint cans as his canvas, Colla transformed these objects into thought-provoking artworks, each signed and dated, capturing his signature style and commentary on contemporary issues. In the "Salvage Can" series, Eddie Colla embraced the unexpected interlude in his creative process to produce a series that reflects a core principle of street art: the ability to create with whatever materials. "Salvage Can 3" manifests Colla's resourcefulness and artistic agility. This series speaks to the essence of street art's improvisational nature, with Colla repurposing the used spray cans from his residency to craft pieces that stand as a testament to the transformative power of art. Artistic Expression in "Salvage Can 3" The visual language of "Salvage Can 3" communicates a poignant narrative. The figure depicted on the can, partially obscured by what appears to be a mask, invites viewers to ponder themes of identity, concealment, and the human condition in the modern world. Using spray paint and acrylic, traditional mediums in graffiti artwork, on an unconventional substrate highlights Colla's skills in mixed media and his ability to push the boundaries of street pop art. Cultural Impact of Eddie Colla's Work Eddie Colla is not merely a street artist but a cultural commentator whose works resonate with a global audience. "Salvage Can 3," like the rest of the series, is more than an object of visual intrigue; it is a commentary on the times and an expression of individuality amidst collective narratives. Colla's work is renowned for its critical engagement with socio-political themes, and this piece is no exception. It is a cultural artifact that challenges viewers to question and reflect, embodying the rebellious spirit that often characterizes graffiti art. Significance in the Art Market The collectible nature of "Salvage Can 3" lies in its unique origin story and the reputation of Eddie Colla as a graffiti legend. Each can be individual, marked by Colla's hand and signature, and carries the story of its creation—making it a coveted item for street art collectors. These pieces occupy a special place in the art market, bridging the gap between temporary street murals and enduring art collectibles. "Salvage Can 3" is not just a mixed media sculpture; it is a piece of the ongoing narrative of street pop art and its evolution in the contemporary art scene. "Salvage Can 3" profoundly reflects Eddie Colla's ability to capture the ethos of street pop art and graffiti artwork within a singular object. Through his innovative use of materials and poignant visual storytelling, Colla continues to influence and define the street art genre. This work stands as a reminder of the power of art to adapt and thrive, even in unexpected places and forms, resonating with a universal audience and cementing Colla's status as a pivotal figure in the world of art.

    In Honor of Vincent Jen Chin 4-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Fine Speckletone Art Paper by Shepard Fairey x Gordon Cheung Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist. Signed & Numbered Screen Print IN HONOR OF VINCENT JEN CHIN 18 inches by 24 inches Edition of 350 August 18, 2021 Minor Bumbs To Extreme LowerLeft Facing Side In this politicised pandemic crisis through which the previous leader of the most powerful nation in the world labelled coronavirus as China-Virus and its various forms, the consequences of racist blame has led to manifold increases in hate crimes against Asians. I hope this collaboration between Shepard and myself can raise awareness about the long history of anti-Asian hate and the important legacy of Vincent Chin whose untimely death in 1982 galvanised the people to demand Asian American civil rights. This current crucial moment in history calls for a gathering of momentum where Asian diaspora voices should go loud and proud. To stand together, advocate for change and collectively build bridges of understanding over glass ceilings and walls of hate. -Gordon Cheung

  • The Windbeast Giclee Print by Victo Ngai

    Victo Ngai The Windbeast Giclee Print by Victo Ngai

    The Windbeast Artwork Giclee Limited Edition Fine Art Print on 100% Cotton Hahnemühle Museum Etching Paper by Pop Culture Graffiti Artist Victo Ngai. 2014 Signed & Numbered Limited edition of 100 Artwork Size 13x19. Due to how this artwork was made and stored by the artist, many of Ngai's older prints contain slight yellowing to the extreme upper and lower white margin that extends about 1mm. This does not effect the image at all and the prints are perfect besides this. Victo Ngai's "The Windbeast" - A Confluence of Myth and Modernity "The Windbeast" by Victo Ngai, a striking piece of modern pop culture art, is a limited edition giclée print that is a vibrant testament to the fusion of traditional mythological themes with contemporary art styles. Created on 100% cotton Hahnemühle Museum Etching Paper, this artwork offers a lush texture that fits the rich narrative and visual complexity it presents. Victo Ngai, a renowned illustrator based in the United States, originally from Hong Kong, is celebrated for her intricate and thought-provoking illustrations that often incorporate elements of fantastical realism. Visual Symphony on Cotton Canvas In "The Windbeast," Ngai weaves an intricate tableau rich with cultural references and brimming with movement. The artwork, a cornucopia of vivid colors and whimsical imagery, features a central figure that could be interpreted as a mythical beast or a dragon — a nod to traditional Asian folklore. Swirling around this central figure are more miniature scenes and elements that seem to be at once a part of the creature and a separate narrative altogether. The use of 100% cotton Hahnemühle Museum Etching Paper heightens the piece's visual impact, as its fine grain and texture add depth and richness to the print that might be absent in other mediums. Ngai's choice of material is notable not only for its quality but also for its historical connection to the art world. Hahnemühle is one of the oldest papermakers in Europe, known for its high-quality art papers, and their Museum Etching Paper is designed specifically for artists who wish to reproduce their work with the same depth and detail as the original. By selecting such a distinguished canvas for her work, Ngai bridges the gap between digital illustration and traditional printmaking, underscoring the artistry in creating her work. "The Windbeast" in the Context of Street Pop Art and Graffiti While "The Windbeast" might be considered a departure from the raw, uncurated nature of street art and graffiti, its essence captures the spirit of these art forms. Street pop art and graffiti are characterized by their vibrancy, accessibility, and the way they often draw from various influences to make relevant statements to contemporary culture. Ngai's work aligns with these principles through its dynamic composition, engagement with folklore, and relevance to modern narratives of identity and globalization. The vivid, swirling colors and fantastical elements in "The Windbeast" resonate with street art's boldness and improvisational energy. The intricate details and narrative complexity parallel the layers of meaning often found in graffiti artwork, where each piece serves as a palimpsest of ideas and expressions. Ngai's print could easily be imagined as a large mural on the side of a building, engaging passersby with its otherworldly beauty and intricate storytelling. Conclusion: Victo Ngai's Artistic Fusion In sum, "The Windbeast" is a fine example of how traditional and modern elements can be synthesized to create timeless and contemporary art. Through her artwork, Victo Ngai contributes to the cultural dialogue, blending the mythical with the modern and the Eastern with the Western, creating pieces that reflect our multifaceted world. The limited edition nature of this print — with only 100 copies signed and numbered by the artist — adds an element of exclusivity that is often sought after in both the worlds of fine art and street art collectibles. This exclusivity, coupled with the artwork's rich narrative and visual appeal, makes "The Windbeast" a coveted piece for collectors and enthusiasts of modern pop culture, street pop, and graffiti artwork. It is a testament to Victo Ngai's prowess as an artist capable of capturing viewers' imagination, transporting them to worlds where myth and reality merge.

The stencil technique adopted by AIKO, traditionally associated with street art and graffiti, infuses a sense of urgency and rebellion into the artwork, making it all the more compelling. Reflecting on the progression of gender equality and societal views, AIKO acknowledges the strides that have been made since our grandparents' era. Yet, she remains acutely aware of the existing challenges that women and minorities face in areas such as education, job opportunities, and health. Through "Emotions- Green Stencil", AIKO conveys her ardent hope for a future where every individual, regardless of gender or background, is presented with equal opportunities to thrive. The artwork serves as a reminder and a call to action, urging society to ensure a fair chance for everyone to seize the day.

    Hush-Hush Archival Print by Giorgiko Limited Edition on Cotton Fine Art Paper Pop Graffiti Street Art Artist Modern Artwork. 2023 Signed & Numbered Print Limited Edition of TBD Artwork Size 30x36 Archival Pigment Fine Art of Boy or Girl Holding a Cookie. Image size is 27" x 33" with 1-1/2" white borders. Printed by Static Medium. In the vast tapestry of contemporary art, Giorgiko's "Hush-Hush" Archival Print holds a poignant and evocative space. This captivating piece, rendered on Cotton Fine Art Paper, embodies the essence of modern pop, street, and graffiti art, harmoniously blending these genres into a singular vision. With an impressive artwork size of 30x36, it immediately captures the viewer's attention, drawing them into the narrative of a character caught indulging a secret desire. "Hush-Hush" narrates the story of a character whose gender remains ambiguous, sneaking a cookie. But it is not merely an act of sneaking a treat that defines this narrative; it is the profound contemplation of the consequences of yielding to one's desires. This inner conflict is palpable in the character's eyes and posture as they weigh the price of their impending indulgence. The image emblazoned on the character's shirt introduces a compelling twist to the story - hinting at another dessert, perhaps a competing temptation, that adds layers of complexity to the unfolding drama. The backdrop of the artwork is equally compelling. The stormy clouds that loom large not only add depth and contrast to the piece but also symbolize the internal turbulence brewing within the character's heart and stomach. Giorgiko, through this masterfully crafted piece, delves into the universal human experience of desire, temptation, and the internal battles we face when choosing between our allegiances and our heart's yearnings. Each brushstroke and pigment choice in "Hush-Hush" offers viewers a glimpse into this riveting tale, making it a standout artwork in the annals of modern art.

PP Printers Proof 2019 Signed & PP Marked Limited Edition Run Artwork Size 18x14 The Artistic Vision of Lauren YS in 'Mobius Teal PP' Lauren YS's 'Mobius Teal PP' emerges as a striking example of contemporary pop street artwork, blending the fluidity of graffiti with the meticulous process of silkscreen printing. This Printer's Proof (PP), hand-pulled and marked by the artist in 2019, embodies a limited edition three-color screen print on 290gsm Coventry Rag fine art paper. Signed and denoting its unique status in the edition run, the artwork's dimensions of 18x14 inches frame a visual narrative that is both surreal and expressive. Symbolism in 'Mobius Teal PP' The 'Mobius Teal PP' print by Lauren YS is a testament to their fascination with the surreal and the marine, featuring a vivid portrayal of octopuses in an infinite loop. The title, 'Mobius,' refers to the Möbius strip, a surface with only one side and one boundary component, symbolizing infinity, continuity, and the cyclic nature of the universe. This concept is elegantly captured through the interweaving tentacles of the octopuses, which are depicted in a state of perpetual motion against the contrasting teal background. The choice of color in 'Mobius Teal PP' is not merely aesthetic but intentional, with the teal acting as a backdrop that conjures the depths of the ocean—a realm full of mystery and often associated with the unconscious mind. The juxtaposition of the pink and black inks adds a dynamic vibrancy to the print, emphasizing the fluidity and grace of the cephalopods, creatures known for their intelligence and adaptability. Lauren YS's Technique and Medium Lauren YS employs the silkscreen printing technique with finesse, a method traditionally linked with the pop art movement and the grassroots dissemination of street art. Each layer of color in the 'Mobius Teal PP' is meticulously applied, showcasing the artist's hands-on approach and commitment to precision. Coventry Rag paper, a medium known for its quality and durability, ensures that each print remains a lasting artifact of the artist's vision, retaining the vibrancy of the inks over time. The significance of a Printer's Proof in the art world cannot be understated. PPs are typically reserved for the artist's personal use or archival purposes and are often considered more valuable due to their rarity and direct involvement in their production. The PP mark on 'Mobius Teal PP' indicates its status as part of a select group of prints that precede the official limited edition run, sought after by collectors for their proximity to the artist's original intent. Impact and Legacy in Street Pop Art The 'Mobius Teal PP' holds a place of importance in the oeuvre of Lauren YS and within the broader context of street pop art. The artist's work blurs the boundaries between the subversive energy of street art and the calculated precision of fine art printing, creating pieces that resonate with a broad audience.

As an artist, Lauren YS stands at the forefront of this evolution, pushing the boundaries of street pop art and graffiti into new territories. 'Mobius Teal PP,' with its intricate design and profound symbolism, is a beacon of the limitless potential within these art forms. It is a celebration of the medium's ability to decorate urban landscapes and convey complex, introspective narratives through the interplay of ink and imagination.

Asian American Graffiti Street Pop Artwork

Asian American Influence on Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork

The intersection of Asian American culture with street pop art and graffiti artwork is a vibrant and evolving canvas, showcasing a unique fusion of traditional Asian aesthetics with street art's rebellious and expressive nature. This amalgamation is a blending of styles and a powerful medium for Asian American artists to communicate their identities, experiences, and perspectives. The influence of Asian American artists in this realm has grown significantly, driven by the need for representation and the desire to share their narratives in a compelling, visually impactful way.

Historical Context and Evolution

Asian American involvement in street pop art and graffiti dates back to the late 20th century. During this period, cities across the United States witnessed the rise of graffiti and street art as forms of self-expression, often used to voice societal and political concerns. Asian American artists, influenced by their cultural heritage and the dynamics of their American experience, began to leave their mark in these urban landscapes. Their work often encapsulated themes of immigration, identity, and the clash of Eastern and Western cultures conveyed through distinctive use of color, symbolism, and calligraphy influenced by Asian art traditions.

Cultural Symbolism and Aesthetic Integration

In street pop art and graffiti art, Asian American artists have skillfully integrated elements of their cultural heritage. This integration includes using traditional symbols, motifs, and calligraphy reinterpreted in modern urban aesthetics. The dragon, a potent symbol in many Asian cultures, often appears in these artworks, symbolizing strength, wisdom, and the struggle for identity in a multicultural landscape. Additionally, incorporating calligraphy, with its flowing and dynamic forms, adds a layer of depth and connectivity to the heritage of these artists. This stylistic fusion is a nod to their roots and a bold statement of their dual identity as both Asian and American.

Themes of Identity and Representation

Central to the work of Asian American artists in street pop art and graffiti is the exploration of identity. These artworks frequently address the challenges of straddling two cultures, the feeling of being ‘othered’ in society, and the journey towards self-acceptance. Street art allows for a raw and unfiltered expression of these themes, resonating with audiences who share similar experiences. Furthermore, these pieces often serve as a tool for social commentary, highlighting issues of racism, stereotypes, and the need for more excellent representation of Asian Americans in mainstream media and art.

Impact and Legacy

The impact of Asian American artists in street pop art and graffiti artwork extends beyond the visual spectacle. These artists have contributed to a broader understanding and appreciation of Asian American culture and experiences. Their work challenges stereotypes and invites viewers to reconsider their perceptions of Asian American identity. Additionally, by occupying public spaces typically dominated by Western narratives, these artists assert the importance and validity of their stories in the American cultural tapestry. The legacy of these artists is not only in the beauty and uniqueness of their work but also in their contribution to the ongoing dialogue about diversity, inclusion, and representation in art.

Contemporary Trends and Future Directions

In recent years, there has been a noticeable shift towards digital integration and interdisciplinary collaborations in street pop art and graffiti by Asian American artists. Digital technology has opened new avenues for creativity, allowing for more intricate designs and broader reach. Collaborations with artists from different backgrounds and mediums have become more common, leading to innovative and multi-layered works that further enrich the dialogue between Asian American culture and street art. The potential for growth and evolution in this space is immense, with Asian American artists continuing to push boundaries and explore new ways to express their unique perspectives and experiences. The fusion of Asian American culture with street pop art and graffiti represents a powerful and dynamic force in the art world. It is a testament to the resilience, creativity, and diversity of the Asian American community. As this art form continues to evolve, it promises to enrich the cultural landscape further and foster a deeper understanding of the Asian American experience.
