  • Priority 228-2016 Slap-Up Label Sticker Original Tag Art by Skewville

    Skewville Priority 228-2016 Slap-Up Label Sticker Original Tag Art by Skewville

    Priority 228-2016 Slap-Up Label Sticker Original Tag Art by Skewville Original Permanent Marker Art Drawing on USPS Mailing Label by Graffiti Artist Modern Street Artwork. 2021 Signed Original Slap Up Graffiti Art Tag 4x5.5 Marker Tagged on USPS United States Postal Service Mail Label Sticker 228-2016.  Skewville and the Art of the Slap-Up: A Street Art Staple The urban art landscape is adorned with various forms of expression, and one pivotal figure who has contributed significantly to this vibrant scene is the artist known as Skewville. With the 'Priority 228-2016 Slap-Up Label Sticker', Skewville offers a quintessential piece that epitomizes the slap-up style of graffiti art. This art form, which utilizes stickers - often postal labels - as the medium, has been a cornerstone of Skewville's work, allowing for a distribution of his art that transcends geographical boundaries.  Dissecting the Slap-Up Phenomenon The 'Priority 228-2016' piece by Skewville is a signed original featuring a robust slap-up tag rendered in permanent marker on a USPS mailing label. Measuring 4x5.5 inches, this work is emblematic of the artist's signature style - bold, assertive, and unapologetically street. The choice of the USPS label is deliberate and indicative of the slap-up genre, which often employs ready-made, adhesive surfaces to create art that can easily be affixed to various urban fixtures, thus integrating the artwork seamlessly into the city's fabric. Skewville's Artistic Influence and Legacy Skewville's work is not merely an act of artistic expression but a statement on the accessibility and democratization of art. By choosing to work with inherently mundane and practical materials, Skewville elevates the ordinary into the extraordinary. His tags, a visual signature, become synonymous with their environments, reflecting the artist's dialogue with the urban landscape. The impact of such works is significant, offering an uncurated and spontaneous encounter with art available to all who traverse the cityscape. Skewville's 'Priority 228-2016 Slap-Up Label Sticker' is more than just a piece of street pop art; it is a testament to the genre's enduring appeal and ability to communicate complex narratives through simple, powerful visual gestures. As a modern street artwork, it represents the continuous evolution of graffiti as a form and the artists like Skewville who have shaped its trajectory over the years.

  • Tomorrows Another Night Red Print by Niagara x Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Shepard Fairey- OBEY Tomorrows Another Night Red Print by Niagara x Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Tomorrow's Another Night Red 3-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on 320gsm Natural Coventry Rag Vellum Paper by Modern Artist Niagara x Shepard Fairey x Niagara. 2021 Signed & Numbered Red Limited Edition of 150 3-Color Screen Print on 320gsm Natural Coventry Rag Vellum Size: 18 x 24 Inches Release: July 02, 2021. "I chose an image of Ron and Niagara where I think they both look amazing, but there was a nice balance between in-your-face aggression with Ron's pose making eye contact, holding his fist up, and Niagara's seemingly demure embrace of Ron, but anyone who knows Niagara understands that though she may look sedate, she's pulling the strings. I added a switchblade that she is caressing with her finger, as a way to amplify her femme fatale chic, and because I thought it lent itself to my original idea of a title 'Bonnie & Clyde Were Lightweights.'" – Shepard Fairey-.OBEY Shepard Fairey's Collaboration with Niagara: 'Tomorrow's Another Night' 'Tomorrow's Another Night' is a testament to the dynamic collaboration between Shepard Fairey and Niagara, two pivotal figures in modern street pop art and graffiti artwork. This limited edition silkscreen print, hand-pulled on 320gsm Natural Coventry Rag Vellum paper, showcases Fairey's masterful screen printing technique alongside Niagara's provocative artistic vision. Released on July 2, 2021, each print in the series is meticulously signed and numbered, indicating the exclusive nature of this artwork. The 18 x 24 inches dimensions make it ideal for collectors who appreciate the nuanced intersection of pop culture and fine art. The artwork features iconic imagery that reflects the rebellious spirit of the punk rock movement, imbued with a sense of in-your-face aggression and subtle manipulation. Ron's direct gaze and clenched fist are juxtaposed with Niagara's calculated and serene posture, a duality that Fairey emphasizes with the strategic placement of a switchblade. This element augments Niagara's allure nod to Fairey's original concept of the duo as a modern-day Bonnie and Clyde, suggesting a narrative of power and seduction that belies their outward appearance. Exploring the Visual Narrative and Artistic Merit of 'Tomorrow's Another Night' Shepard Fairey's decision to work with Niagara on 'Tomorrow's Another Night births a rich visual narrative of contrast and complexity. The stark black-and-white imagery is accented by the thoughtful use of three colors, which adds depth and draws the viewer into the story unfolding within the print. The art piece resonates with the energy of the street, where graffiti art traditionally challenges societal norms and provokes thought through visual storytelling. The screen print is a visual exploration of the dichotomy between appearance and reality, power dynamics, and the role of women as unseen orchestrators in a male-dominated society. Fairey's description of Niagara as someone who appears demure yet is 'pulling the strings' is a powerful commentary on the multifaceted nature of female strength and agency. Thus, the artwork becomes a platform for aesthetic appreciation and engagement with broader themes of gender and control. The Cultural Impact of Fairey and Niagara's Artistic Fusion 'Tomorrow's Another Night' represents a cultural milestone in street pop art and graffiti artwork. The collaboration between Shepard Fairey and Niagara bridges generations and artistic styles, creating a piece that is both a tribute to the past and a relevant commentary on contemporary issues. The limited edition nature of the print adds to its cultural significance, offering a snapshot of a moment when two artists from different backgrounds and with distinct voices came together to create something unique and impactful. Moreover, the piece contributes to the ongoing discourse about the place of street art within the broader context of art history. By bringing street art aesthetics into fine art through silkscreen printing, Fairey and Niagara challenge traditional boundaries and invite a reevaluation of what constitutes art in the modern era. 'Tomorrow's Another Night' is an artwork to be enjoyed for its visual appeal and a conversation starter that encourages viewers to delve deeper into the stories behind the images. In essence, 'Tomorrow's Another Night' is a vibrant embodiment of the collaborative spirit that defines street pop art. Through this print, Shepard Fairey and Niagara offer a piece steeped in the ethos of street culture while maintaining a polished finesse that appeals to the fine art collector. The artwork is a testament to the power of artistic collaboration and the enduring allure of street-inspired 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.

    Kathy Ager I Hope Your Flowers Bloom Giclee Print by Kathy Ager

    I Hope Your Flowers Bloom Giclee Print by Kathy Ager Artwork Limited Edition Print on 290gsm Rag Watercolor Fine Art Paper Graffiti Pop Street Artist. 2021 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 200 Artwork Size 18x24 The Visual Language of "I Hope Your Flowers Bloom" by Kathy Ager Kathy Ager's "I Hope Your Flowers Bloom" is a captivating giclée print that channels the essence of Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork through a lush tableau of flora intertwined with a pristine pair of sneakers. As a limited edition release, the artist signed and numbered this artwork, further securing its status as a collectible. With only 200 prints, it measures 18x24 inches and is presented on 290gsm rag watercolor fine art paper, which enriches the print's visual texture and color depth. This piece stands out in Ager's oeuvre as a symbolic work that blends the urban with the natural, the every day with the extraordinary. The hyperrealistic depiction of the sneakers—a staple of street fashion and urban identity—is enveloped by an explosion of floral elements, echoing the organic growth patterns found in nature. This juxtaposition is a metaphor for the bloom of ideas and creativity that Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork represent in the concrete jungles of city landscapes. Materials and Techniques: The Artistry Behind the Print The medium of giclée printing is chosen for its ability to reproduce the vibrant hues and intricate details of the original artwork with exceptional clarity. Using 290gsm rag watercolor paper provides a fine art texture more commonly associated with traditional painting techniques, thus elevating the piece from a mere reproduction to an artwork in its own right. This strategic choice of materials underscores the high value placed on quality within Kathy Ager's art practice, ensuring that each edition of "I Hope Your Flowers Bloom" resonates with her vision's authenticity and aesthetic appeal. Symbolism and Cultural Relevance in Kathy Ager's Artwork The imagery of "I Hope Your Flowers Bloom" delves deep into the cultural significance of its subjects. Sneakers have long been a symbol of contemporary culture, often associated with youth, vitality, and the street culture from which graffiti arises. The presence of these shoes amidst a traditionally beautiful setting of flowers and wildlife suggests a harmony between human-made and natural beauty, between urban life and the growth it can foster. This work emulates the transformative power of Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork, which often takes ordinary urban elements and recontextualizes them in ways that challenge our perceptions of beauty and art. Impact and Reception of "I Hope Your Flowers Bloom" Since its release in 2021, "I Hope Your Flowers Bloom" has garnered attention for its bold thematic approach and technical prowess. It has been embraced by art collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate the innovative fusion of street culture with acceptable art principles. The limited edition nature of the print has not only made it a sought-after piece for private collections but also sparked discussions on the value of scarcity and exclusivity in the art world. In the broader context of Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork, Kathy Ager's print mirrors the societal shift towards a greater acceptance and integration of street art into the fine art canon. It reflects a world where the once clear-cut boundaries of 'high' and 'low' art are increasingly blurred, where the visceral impact of graffiti is as esteemed as the studied finesse of gallery exhibits. "I Hope Your Flowers Bloom" stands as a testament to this cultural shift and to contemporary art's dynamic, ever-evolving landscape.

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.
