This signed and numbered archival pigment print, produced on 290gsm Moab Entrada Rag Bright art paper, measures 14x17 inches and is part of an exclusive edition of 25. Featuring a hyper-realistic rendering of Navarro’s well-worn, paint-splattered boots, this artwork captures the essence of an artist’s journey, symbolizing creativity, resilience, and individuality. The intricate detailing of texture, color splashes, and scuffed leather transforms the piece into a powerful reflection of artistic expression and personal identity within Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Symbolism and Artistic Technique The composition of Sole of the Artist: Dave Navarro Portrait focuses solely on the musician’s boots, a deliberate choice that shifts the emphasis from the person to the story behind the object. The worn, scuffed leather covered in splatters of paint suggests years of artistic exploration, reinforcing the idea that an artist's tools and attire bear the marks of their creative evolution. The high level of detail in the laces, metal eyelets, and paint layers demonstrates KJ Shows’ ability to capture not just an image, but a narrative embedded in physical objects. The choice of archival pigment printing on fine art paper ensures that every subtle variation in tone, texture, and color is preserved, enhancing the realism of the piece. The careful balance of shadow and highlights adds depth, making the boots appear tangible, almost as if they could be lifted from the page. This approach aligns with Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork’s tendency to find meaning in everyday objects, elevating them to artistic significance. Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Influence KJ Shows’ work draws heavily from the ethos of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, where objects are often used as symbols of culture, rebellion, and individuality. The focus on worn, customized boots ties into the visual language of urban art, where artists often incorporate found materials, distressed textures, and personal artifacts into their compositions. The paint splatters evoke the aesthetic of graffiti-splashed alleyways, walls layered with artistic residue left by countless creators. The connection to Dave Navarro, known for his influence in both music and visual art, strengthens the piece’s ties to street culture, reinforcing the idea that artistic identity is shaped by more than just performance—it is embedded in everyday wear and lived experiences. The handcrafted nature of the print, with each edition hand-signed, dated, and embossed, aligns with the tactile, raw quality often found in graffiti-based artworks and limited-edition screenprints. Collectibility and Cultural Impact As a signed and numbered edition of only 25, Sole of the Artist: Dave Navarro Portrait holds significant value in the world of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. The additional signature by Navarro under his "lifeafterdeath" moniker adds another layer of authenticity, bridging the gap between visual and musical artistry. This print is not just a representation of an object but a statement on the creative process, reflecting how personal artifacts become vessels of artistic history. KJ Shows’ ability to transform a pair of boots into a compelling portrait speaks to the deeper narrative within Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, where objects, textures, and surfaces tell stories as vividly as human faces. This piece stands as both a celebration of an artist’s journey and a testament to the enduring relationship between music, street culture, and visual art.

    Cleon Peterson On the Shady Side of the Street- White Silkscreen Print by Cleon Peterson

    On the Shady Side of the Street- White 1-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on 290gsm Coventry Rag Paper by Cleon Peterson Rare Street Art Famous Pop Artwork Artist. Limited edition of 125 Hand-pulled 14 x 20.5” black on White screenprint on 290gsm Coventry Rag Paper with deckled edges. Signed and numbered. The visuality of Cleon Peterson's work is based on a variety of influences, from ancient Greek pottery to comics, resulting in monochromacy and strong color symbolism. In more detail, the figures exist on multiple straight lines, something that, subsequently, creates the illusion that the artwork is divided in levels. The perspective and the impression of depth do moderately exist in the art of Peterson and, just like in Greek vases, the background space is usually left empty or slightly embellished.

  • Police Shooting Black Silkscreen Print by Cleon Peterson

    Cleon Peterson Police Shooting Black Silkscreen Print by Cleon Peterson

    Police Shooting Black Silkscreen Print by Cleon Peterson on Hand Deckled 290gsm Coventry Rag Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork. 2015 Signed & Numbered Cleon Peterson Limited Edition of 150 Artwork Size 14x18 Silkscreen Print. Cleon Peterson's 2015 Silkscreen Print “Police Shooting Black” – A Stark Voice in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Cleon Peterson’s 2015 limited edition silkscreen print titled Police Shooting Black is a powerful example of politically charged Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork that holds nothing back. Printed on hand-deckled 290gsm Coventry Rag fine art paper, this 14 x 18 inch piece was released in a signed and numbered edition of 150. The print is rendered in stark black silhouette, showing a faceless police officer mid-strike over a defenseless figure on the ground. Peterson employs a style that is instantly recognizable—clean, aggressive, and intentionally stripped of detail to focus entirely on the narrative of power, submission, and societal conflict. It is more than a commentary. It is a visual confrontation. Cleon Peterson: American Artist With a Vision Rooted in Violence and Power Dynamics Cleon Peterson was born in 1973 in the United States and continues to create work that deeply engages with themes of chaos, institutional abuse, and systemic violence. A former street artist who has also worked in illustration and fashion, Peterson often centers his practice around the representation of violent struggle. His works are filled with archetypal figures that reenact the brutal power plays of modern society. Police Shooting Black stands out in his body of work not only for its limited edition fine art format but for its focused depiction of racialized police violence. It is not an ambiguous image. The figures speak with immediacy, channeling real-world incidents into high-contrast allegory. The facelessness of both the oppressor and the oppressed creates a disturbing universality, implicating systems rather than individuals. The Visual Economy of Violence in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork This print carries forward the street-level urgency found in graffiti while leveraging the formal control of screenprinting and gallery presentation. Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork often borrows visual language from commercial signage, propaganda, and rebellion, and Peterson’s work is no exception. The figures are iconographic, each line intentional, each silhouette loaded with symbolic weight. Peterson reduces the image to its emotional and psychological core, amplifying the sense of dehumanization and systemic brutality. The use of black-and-white further enforces the emotional starkness while refusing to distract with color. Every inch of the composition is confrontational and calculated to provoke response, conversation, and discomfort. Coventry Rag Paper and Silkscreen Technique as Mediums of Resistance The use of 290gsm Coventry Rag paper—known for its archival quality and textured surface—adds gravity and permanence to what might otherwise feel like a transitory protest image. Silkscreen printing, traditionally used in mass production, is elevated here as a fine art method, offering precision and boldness while still invoking its underground and street origins. Peterson’s choice of material and medium serves to highlight the duality in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork: existing between gallery walls and political walls, between collectability and dissent. Each print is hand-deckled, giving it an edge—literally and figuratively—that speaks to the raw emotion and crafted message embedded in the work. Would you like write-ups for any of Peterson’s other prints or projects?

Black & White Graffiti Street Pop Artwork

Contrast and Culture: Black & White in Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork

Defining Visual Language with Black & White

In the visually saturated world of street pop art and graffiti, the use of black and white stands out for its stark simplicity and profound impact. These foundational colors form a visual language that is classic and contemporary, shaping the narrative of urban landscapes. Artists have long utilized the striking contrast between black and white to convey complex messages, create dramatic visuals, and draw viewers into a dialogue that transcends the need for color.

Black & White: Aesthetic Choices with Purpose

The aesthetic choice to use black and white in street pop art and graffiti is not merely a stylistic one; it is often laden with purpose. Black and white can symbolize the binary oppositions of life, such as light and dark, day and night, or the dualities within society and the self. In street pop art, this dichotomy can reflect the artist's commentary on social issues, personal identity, or cultural narratives. The absence of color forces the viewer to focus on the subject, the form, and the subtleties of shade and tone that might otherwise be overlooked.

Technique and Texture in Monochromatic Art

Technically, working with black and white requires mastery over shade, tone, and texture. Artists manipulate these elements to create depth and dimension without relying on the crutch of color. The interplay of light and shadow becomes critical, with the gradations between pure black and pure white providing a spectrum of grays that add complexity to the pieces. Texturally, black and white can range from the smooth, clean lines of precise stenciling to the rough, expressive strokes of freehand spray painting.

Cultural Symbolism in Black & White Artwork

Culturally, black and white artwork carries a timeless symbolism. In the context of street pop art and graffiti, it can represent the raw, unfiltered expression stripped of the distractions of color. This monochromatic scheme is often associated with the past, invoking a sense of nostalgia while simultaneously being seen as modern and forward-thinking. The simplicity of black and white allows for universality in the artwork, enabling it to cross cultural and socioeconomic boundaries.

Composition and Clarity in Urban Canvases

Compositionally, black and white provide clarity and focus in an urban canvas cluttered with competing stimuli. Artists use these colors to direct attention, emphasize details, and balance the visual weight within their artwork. The starkness of black against white creates a visual punch that can make even the most subtle designs stand out. In large-scale murals, this contrast can create a visual anchor, drawing the community's attention and often becoming a landmark within the neighborhood. 

Black & White in the Evolution of Street Art

As street art evolves, the role of black and white remains central. These colors have been used historically in photography and film to convey a stripped-down reality, and street artists have adopted this tradition to cut through the city's noise. Black and white also have a practical advantage; they are often more resistant to fading and weathering, ensuring the longevity of the artwork. This durability makes black and white a suitable choice for artists who want their work to endure in the public space. In the vibrant realms of street pop art and graffiti, black and white are more than mere colors—they are tools for visual storytelling, emotional impact, and symbols for cultural commentary. The use of black and white challenges artists to explore the essentials of form, composition, and contrast, creating artwork that has the power to engage, provoke, and inspire across generations and geographies. In the monochromatic shades of black and white, the urban canvas finds its voice, and the streets become a gallery of human experience, etched in the most fundamental palettes.
