Quiccs Destroy, Rebuild, Repeat AP HPM Artist Proof Wood Print by Quiccs

Destroy, Rebuild, Repeat AP HPM Artist Proof 3D Print Framed on Wood Cradled Panel ready to hang by Quiccs Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. AP Artist Proof Signed, Small Drawings & Marked AP Framed Artwork Size 12x16 Frame Larger. 12 x 16 in. (30.48cm x 40.64cm) Three-layered fine art wood print, hand-signed and numbered by Quiccs This first of its kind three-layered fine art birch wood print starts with a 3/4" wood print. It’s then layered with a 1/2" custom shape pop-out pieces, then finished with a 1/4" custom cut layer to create a unique fine art piece. Layered Expression Through Precision Destroy, Rebuild, Repeat by Filipino graffiti and street pop artist Quiccs is a standout three-dimensional fine art wood print that encapsulates the ethos of transformation through destruction and creativity. Built from three distinct layers of wood — a 3/4-inch foundational panel, a 1/2-inch set of precision-cut pop-out pieces, and a final 1/4-inch top layer — the structure of this artwork mirrors its conceptual narrative. Each tier contributes to the visual complexity, bringing dynamic depth to a high-octane scene that merges elements of mecha, hip-hop, street culture, and toy aesthetics. Framed and ready to hang, this artist proof version measures 12 by 16 inches with the frame extending slightly larger to encase the sculptural form. Signature Characters in Street Pop Fusion At the heart of the piece is Quiccs’ iconic character TEQ63, rendered with bold outlines, heavy saturation, and mechanical armor stylings that fuse Japanese super robot design with urban cultural codes. A bandana-wrapped skull face, accented by skeletal insignias, and battle-worn mechanical limbs clash with elements like sneakers and vinyl spray marks — blending the militant with the playful. What sets this artist proof apart is the additional small hand-drawn character at the top right, a uniquely placed skull and crossbones sketched directly on the surface, reinforcing its rarity and giving insight into the artist’s own shorthand visual lexicon. Material Language and Conceptual Strength Executed on birch wood using archival printing methods, Destroy, Rebuild, Repeat captures the hard-edged sensibilities of graffiti culture while exploring new material possibilities in fine art editions. The decision to build on wood rather than canvas or paper grounds the work in craft traditions, while the digital print techniques and spray paint effects point forward toward urban futurism. The layered build mimics the complexity of Quiccs’ message — a repeating cycle of construction and collapse, identity and reinvention, that defines the experience of creators navigating a world of social chaos and resilience. Limited Rarity in Contemporary Street Pop Art This piece is part of a signed and numbered artist proof run marked AP 08/08 and features original embellishments and framing. As an experimental iteration of Quiccs’ art objects, it bridges collectible design with gallery-ready installation. The framed silhouette and physical texture highlight its significance not just as a visual spectacle but as a sculpture with weight and story. Created in 2018 during a time of widespread cross-pollination between streetwear, designer toys, and pop surrealism, Destroy, Rebuild, Repeat reflects the strength of Quiccs’ voice in the movement of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork.

Asian Influence and Representation in Street Pop Art and Graffiti

The influence of Asian culture and aesthetics in street pop art and graffiti has been profound and transformative. As these art forms have become more global, integrating Asian elements has led to a diverse visual language that transcends borders and cultural barriers. The infusion of Asian elements into modern urban art can be seen in the work of artists who draw inspiration from various Asian cultures. Motifs such as calligraphy, traditional patterns, and iconic symbols from Asian heritage have been reinterpreted and woven into the fabric of street art. These elements bring a rich historical context and a fresh perspective to urban canvases worldwide.

Symbolism and Style in Asian-Inspired Artworks

Asian-inspired artworks often incorporate traditional symbolism and style, reimagined within contemporary issues. Dragons, tigers, and other powerful creatures are common motifs, symbolizing strength and resilience. Calligraphy and script, with their inherent fluidity and grace, are used to convey messages or to adorn spaces with their beauty. Using these traditional symbols within the urban setting creates a dialogue between the old and the new, the East and the West. Asian artists have come to the forefront of the street art scene, bringing their cultural heritage and perspectives into their work. Their contributions have not only enriched the diversity of street art but have also provided a platform to share stories and experiences from Asian perspectives. These artists often navigate between respecting tradition and challenging contemporary issues, using their artwork as a form of communication and expression.

Representation and Identity in Asian Street Pop Art

Representation and identity play significant roles in the way Asian themes are portrayed in street pop art and graffiti. These works often reflect the complex identities of Asian communities, exploring themes of diaspora, cultural fusion, and the challenges of preserving cultural heritage in a rapidly globalizing world. Street art becomes a means to assert identity and celebrate the diversity of Asian cultures in public spaces.

Cultural Exchange and Collaboration

The world of street pop art and graffiti is also marked by cultural exchange and collaboration, with Asian and non-Asian artists working together to create pieces that are a confluence of styles and ideas. This collaborative approach not only enhances the artistic process but also fosters a greater understanding and appreciation of different cultural aesthetics and narratives. The presence of Asian themes in street pop art and graffiti is a testament to the universal language of art. It showcases how traditional Asian aesthetics can be transformed and given new life in the contemporary art scene, resonating with audiences worldwide. As street art continues to evolve, the Asian influence remains a vibrant and integral part of the movement, contributing to the rich tapestry of urban expression.
