  • Nutcracker Silkscreen Print by MFG- Matt Goldman

    MFG- Matt Goldman Nutcracker Silkscreen Print by MFG- Matt Goldman

    Nutcracker Limited Edition 2-Color Hand-Pulled Silkscreen Print Fluorescent Pink Ink on Archival White Cotton Cardstock by MFG- Matt Goldman Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2008 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 80 Artwork Size 9x5 Matt Goldman's Artistic Vision in Nutcracker The 'Nutcracker' limited edition silkscreen print by Matt Goldman, a street graffiti artist renowned for his modern pop art creations, embodies a harmonious blend of traditional holiday symbolism with the edgy vibrancy of street art. Crafted in 2008, this artwork has since cemented its place in the oeuvre of contemporary art collectibles. Matt Goldman, commonly known by his initials MFG, brings a distinctively modern take to the classic image of the Nutcracker. Utilizing striking fluorescent pink ink on archival white cotton cardstock, Goldman reinterprets the iconic figure through the lens of street pop art. The contrast of the fluorescent pink against the stark white background not only captures the viewer's attention but also adds a depth of character to the Nutcracker, transforming the traditional holiday figure into a contemporary art icon. The technique of hand-pulling silkscreen prints is a meticulous process, requiring a high level of craftsmanship. Goldman’s choice of this method for the 'Nutcracker print underscores his commitment to the hands-on approach of street art and graffiti artwork. The precision with which the two-color design is executed allows each limited edition print to maintain a sense of individuality, reflecting the artist's touch in every piece. This attention to detail makes the 'Nutcracker' print a sought-after item for collectors and enthusiasts of modern pop art. The Cultural Impact of Nutcracker in Art The exclusivity of the 'Nutcracker' print is marked by its limited edition run of only 80 pieces. Each print, signed and numbered by Goldman, carries a piece of the artist's legacy and the urban culture from which it springs. The artwork, sized at an intimate 9x5 inches, allows for an engaging visual experience suitable for diverse spaces, from private collections to public exhibitions. The 'Nutcracker' by MFG stands as a cultural artifact within the art community, bridging the gap between the holiday season's traditional iconography and the pulsating life of street art. It echoes the sentiments of celebration, yet with a twist that speaks to the inflammatory nature of graffiti art. This piece is not only a testament to Matt Goldman's artistic prowess but also to the ability of street pop art to inject new life into well-worn motifs. As a piece of street pop art, the 'Nutcracker' print mirrors society's evolving tastes and the ever-changing landscape of art appreciation. In the hands of Matt Goldman, the Nutcracker is more than a holiday staple; it is reimagined as a beacon of modern pop art, challenging the norms and offering a fresh perspective. It is a vivid example of how traditional themes can be reinvigorated through the creative reclamation of street and graffiti art.

  • Coronavirus Quarantine Slap-Up Label Sticker Original Tag Art by Saber

    Saber Coronavirus Quarantine Slap-Up Label Sticker Original Tag Art by Saber

    Coronavirus Quarantine Multi Tagged Original Slap-Up Label Marker Painting/Drawing Art on Warning Label by Tru Graffiti Legend Saber Urban Street Artist. 2020 Signed Marker Original Coronavirus Quarantine Yellow Biohazard Slap Up Graffiti Art Tag 7x5 Multi Tagged on High Visibility Virus Covid-19 Warning Label Red, Purple & Silver Marker. Confronting a Global Crisis through Street Pop Art The 'Coronavirus Quarantine' multi-tagged original slap-up label marker painting/drawing by the urban street artist Saber captures the zeitgeist of an era dominated by the pandemic. This 2020 signed marker original is more than a piece of graffiti artwork; it is a historical document that encapsulates a moment when the world grappled with the unprecedented challenge of COVID-19. Saber, known for his influential role in the graffiti art scene, takes a high-visibility yellow biohazard slap-up label, a symbol now ubiquitously associated with the virus, and transforms it into a canvas. The dimensions of the work, 7x5 inches, might seem modest, but the impact of the art could be better. Through his use of vibrant and chaotic tags that overlay the stark warning of 'Coronavirus Quarantine,' Saber disrupts the alarming message of the label, inviting contemplation on the nature of the pandemic that extends beyond fear and caution. The piece is a profound commentary on global affairs during the COVID-19 crisis. The graffiti artist's tags subverted the choice to use a warning label, a helpful object designed to communicate danger and command obedience. The tags, often considered an act of defiance in public spaces, here challenge the narrative of the pandemic by bringing an individualistic and human touch to the impersonal and clinical warning label. Impact of Saber's Art in the Context of Street Pop Art In the context of street pop art, Saber's 'Coronavirus Quarantine' piece stands out as a poignant reflection of the times. Street art has always had the unique ability to engage with its audience directly and urgently. In this instance, the art serves as a visual expression of the collective angst, confusion, and resilience experienced during the quarantine periods. Saber's artwork, juxtaposing the form of formal, almost anarchic graffiti tags, speaks to the unchecked nature of the public's response to the pandemic—order and disorder, compliance and rebellion. 2020 will be remembered for its seismic shifts in global health, economies, and societies. In this climate, street pop art and graffiti artwork like Saber's serve as markers of resistance and reminders of human endurance. The biohazard slap-up label, once a mere functional sign, is recontextualized as a piece of art that provokes, questions, and endures, much like the human spirit during the trials of the pandemic. Saber, the American artist behind this impactful work, has once again demonstrated why he is regarded as a legend in the graffiti world. His ability to take the pulse of society and translate it into art that is both provocative and reflective ensures that his work remains relevant and resonant, not just within the street art community but also among those who encounter his art in the very public spaces that the coronavirus pandemic has so markedly changed.

  • American Flag Black HPM Watercolor Unique Stencil by Saber

    Saber American Flag Black HPM Watercolor Unique Stencil by Saber

    American Flag Black HPM Watercolor Unique Stencil by Saber Hand-Painted Multiple on Watercolor Fine Art Paper Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2023 Signed & Numbered Mixed Unique Edition of 40 HPM Hand-Embellished Watercolor Stencil Artwork Size 5x5 Original Mini Painting of the US American Flag with Black Stripes. Deconstructing Symbols in Street Pop Art The 'American Flag Black HPM Watercolor Unique Stencil' by Saber is an evocative piece of modern pop art, reflecting the artist's nuanced approach to symbol deconstruction and cultural commentary. In this signed and numbered unique edition of 40 HPM (Hand-Painted Multiple) watercolor stencil artworks, the conventional image of the US American Flag is reimagined. Measuring 5x5 inches, the original painting presents the flag's iconic stripes in black, a bold departure from their traditional red and white. Saber's Technique and Style Saber's work is characterized by its layered complexity, both in the physical layers of paint and the conceptual layers of meaning. This piece, created on watercolor fine art paper, employs a stencil technique often used in street art to produce sharp, clean images that can be replicated multiple times. However, each piece in the series remains unique, a testament to the artist's hand that guides the process. The choice of watercolor as a medium adds a fluidity and softness to the otherwise stark imagery of the flag, suggesting a sense of ephemerality and change. The black stripes dominate the visual field, standing out against the subtle hues of the watercolor background. This alteration of the flag's color scheme may speak to many social and political interpretations, from mourning and protest to strength and unity. The work becomes a canvas for dialogue, inviting viewers to project their thoughts and emotions onto the flag's transformed image. Reflections on National Identity and Patriotism In street pop art, the flag is a powerful symbol that is loaded with meaning and often employed to express pride, dissent, or a complex combination of both. Saber's rendition of the American flag calls into question national identity and patriotism notions. By altering the flag's traditional colors, the artist prompts a reevaluation of what these symbols represent and how they resonate within the current socio-political climate. The graffiti street artist's decision to work with an emblem as potent as the American flag indicates a willingness to engage with themes that are at once universal and deeply personal. The flag, an icon meant to unite, becomes a site of divergence in Saber's hands, a space where the tensions and contradictions of American life are laid bare. Like much of street pop art, this artwork is not confined to the public walls and alleyways where graffiti is commonly found. It enters the more intimate spaces of galleries and private collections, yet it retains the raw, provocative energy that is the hallmark of street art. Saber, an American artist, navigates this transition with ease, bringing the spirit of the streets into the fine art arena without losing the potency of his message. In this unique series, Saber continues challenging the boundaries of street pop art and graffiti artwork, reaffirming his position as a leading figure. The 'American Flag Black HPM Watercolor Unique Stencil' is a testament to the enduring power of street art to provoke thought and inspire conversation. It is a bold statement in the ongoing discourse about identity, belonging, and the symbols we hold dear.

    Neal Russler Fish Lips Giclee Print by Neal Russler

    Fish Lips Pop Street Artwork Limited Edition Giclee Print on 80lb White Cougar Cover Stock Fine Art Paper by Urban Graffiti Modern Artist Neal Russler. 2013 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 10 Giclee Print Artwork Size 7x5 Neal Russler's "Fish Lips" and the Nuances of Urban Street Art "Fish Lips" by Neal Russler is a compelling work that embodies the convergence of street art sensibilities with the refined techniques of fine art printmaking. This limited edition giclée print on fine art paper was introduced to the art scene in 2013 and has since captured the attention of collectors and fans of urban graffiti modern art. Signed and numbered by Russler, the artwork is part of an exclusive edition of just ten prints, each measuring 7 x 5 inches. "Fish Lips" showcases the unique blend of representational artistry and abstract conceptualization that characterizes much of Russler's work. The artwork features a monochromatic portrait of a woman juxtaposed with two fish, their lips nearly touching hers in an almost kiss. The intricate detailing of the scales and the intense gaze of the fish contrast starkly with the soft features of the woman, creating a dynamic interplay between the natural and the human. This contrast is reflective of the broader theme often found in street pop art and graffiti artwork, where unexpected elements are combined to challenge perceptions and provoke thought. Artistic Expression and Symbolism in "Fish Lips" Russler's "Fish Lips" is rich in symbolism and artistic expression, offering more than a surreal visual encounter. The fish, a creature that traditionally symbolizes fluidity and the subconscious, interacts with the human element in a manner that suggests a deeper connection between the two realms. The choice to portray the fish with such prominence alongside the human subject speaks to the intertwined nature of all life forms. This concept is both timeless and particularly resonant in the current ecological climate. The limited palette and the meticulous stippling technique used in "Fish Lips" lend the piece a texture and depth reminiscent of classic etchings. Yet, the content and composition are undeniably rooted in contemporary street art aesthetics. Russler's work bridges the gap between graffiti's often raw, public-facing nature and the private, contemplative experience of viewing fine art. With its limited edition status, the "Fish Lips" print elevates the typically ephemeral nature of street art to a collectible form, allowing it to be preserved and appreciated within the context of modern art history. Cultural Resonance and Collectibility of "Fish Lips" As a cultural artifact, "Fish Lips" resonates with the zeitgeist of urban experiences and environmental consciousness. The artwork's allure lies in its ability to encapsulate complex ideas within a simple composition. This quality makes it a coveted piece for those seeking depth in their art collection. The limited edition nature of the print adds a layer of exclusivity, appealing to the discerning collector who values the scarcity and authenticity of street-inspired art. Neal Russler's "Fish Lips" symbolizes the transformative potential of street pop art and graffiti artwork. It is a testament to the capacity of these art forms to transcend their traditional boundaries, merging with other artistic traditions to create visually arresting and intellectually stimulating pieces. The work invites viewers to explore the layers of meaning within the image, encouraging a dialogue about our relationship with the natural world and our place within it. In the greater narrative of street pop art, "Fish Lips" is a powerful example of the genre's versatility and impact. Neal Russler's unique voice in the art world, which incorporates elements of urban graffiti with modern acceptable art practices, continues to inspire and challenge. His work, particularly in pieces like "Fish Lips," showcases the dynamic potential of street art to engage with contemporary issues and resonate with a broad audience, making it an essential part of the contemporary art conversation.

Black Graffiti Street Pop Artwork

Depth and Dimension: The Role of Black in Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork

Black as a Powerful Medium in Urban Art

Black, a color that can be both the absence of light and the amalgamation of all pigments in the art world, holds a fundamental place in the street pop art and graffiti genres. Its multifaceted and profound use provides depth, contrast, and definition. In the hands of artists, black is not merely a color; it's an essential component of visual storytelling that can convey various themes and emotions, from the stark and severe to the rich and sophisticated.

Techniques Embracing the Intensity of Black

The techniques used to apply black in urban artwork are as diverse as the artists themselves. It can be found in the sharp lines of stencils that cut through the noise of colorful backdrops or in the swirling shadows that give murals a sense of life and movement. Black often outlines figures and shapes, making them pop from their surroundings and granting them an arresting visual clarity. In addition, the texture of black paint or ink can range from a matte finish that absorbs light, creating a void-like effect, to a glossy sheen that suggests a sleek, modern aesthetic. Culturally, black carries significant weight. It can symbolize rebellion or conformity, chaos or order, nothingness, or the complex integration of all that is colorful. In street pop art and graffiti, black is commonly associated with the underground, the edgy, and the avant-garde. It is the color of the night, the urban, and the unknown. Black's ability to make other colors stand out while still commanding its presence makes it a powerful tool for artists seeking to challenge norms and make bold statements.

Compositional Balance and Boldness with Black

In composition, black's role is unparalleled. It offers an anchor within the artwork, a point of return for the eye amidst the visual excitement of brighter hues. Using black can balance a piece, adding a sense of stability and grounding. However, it also has the power to dominate, to turn a multicolored mural into a monochromatic statement, or to bring a sense of solemnity and gravity to street pop art and graffiti pieces. The future of black in street pop art and graffiti artwork looks as solid as the color itself. As urban art continues to evolve, the applications and symbolism of black are likely to deepen and diversify. New materials and methods will expand the range of textures and finishes available to artists, from the blackest blacks that absorb nearly all light to reflective surfaces that play with the urban environment's illumination. In street pop art and graffiti, black is a foundational element, a color as essential as the spaces it adorns. It is a color that speaks in whispers and shouts, a color that refuses to be silent, and a color that, paradoxically, brings the vibrant world of urban art to life. Whether used with precision or with wild abandon, black remains a testament to the enduring power and versatility of color in the hands of those who seek to transform the cityscape into a canvas of personal expression and public engagement.
