This original collage, composed of archived screenprints and spray paint on fine art paper, is a powerful expression of the socio-political commentary that both artists are renowned for. Signed by both DFace and Shepard Fairey in 2021, the piece is framed in beech-stained black, measuring 21 1/4 x 18 7/8 inches (54 x 48 cm), and carries the unmistakable spirit of rebellion and resistance that defines the work of both artists. The collaboration between D*Face and Shepard Fairey for 'Rise Above' is a landmark moment in street art history. Both artists have individually contributed significantly to the evolution of graffiti and street pop art, and their partnership in this piece is a dialogue between two distinct voices that share common thematic interests. The artwork's title, 'Rise Above,' encapsulates the essence of the artists' shared ethos—a call to transcend the status quo and challenge societal norms through art. 'Rise Above' is a masterful blend of techniques, with each layer of collage, spray paint, and silkscreen adding depth and texture to the piece. Archived screenprints are a nod to the artists' past works, creating a sense of continuity and legacy within their oeuvre. The spray paint element introduces a raw, visceral quality reminiscent of their work on the streets, while the silkscreen process adds precision and complexity. This combination of methods results in a piece rich in visual and conceptual density. Iconography and Message in 'Rise Above' The iconography used in 'Rise Above' is laden with meaning. The piece features a portrait characteristic of DFace's style, reminiscent of the comic book aesthetics and skeletal motifs he frequently employs. This figure holds a sign bearing the phrase "DFace Ruined My Day," a self-referential statement that plays with the artist's name and reputation for disrupting the norm. Shepard Fairey's influence is evident in the bold typographic elements and propaganda-style imagery that challenge viewers to question authority and power structures. The socio-political impact of 'Rise Above' is both timely and timeless. By blending their signature styles, D*Face and Shepard Fairey have created a piece that speaks to current socio-political issues while remaining relevant to future generations. The artwork's call to 'Rise Above' is a universal message of empowerment, urging viewers to engage with the world around them critically. The collaboration between these two artists serves as a reminder of the potent role that art can play in provoking thought and inspiring change. The Legacy of 'Rise Above' in Street Art 'Rise Above' contributes to the legacy of street art by showcasing the potential of collaboration within the genre. The partnership between D*Face and Shepard Fairey exemplifies how artists can come together to amplify their message and impact. As both artists have been pivotal in bringing street art into the mainstream consciousness, this piece also reflects the maturation of street art as a recognized form of fine art capable of conveying complex narratives and evoking strong emotional responses. 'Rise Above' is a striking piece of art that embodies the rebellious spirit of street pop art and graffiti artwork. The collaboration between D*Face and Shepard Fairey is a testament to the power of art to communicate, challenge, and inspire.

    Denial- Daniel Bombardier American Expression Silkscreen Print by Denial- Daniel Bombardier

    American Expression Limited Edition 6-Color Hand-Pulled Silkscreen Print on 300gsm French Speckletone Fine Art Paper by Denial Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. n 2000 he adopted the moniker ‘DENIAL’ as a means of poking fun at advertising, politics, and media messages that contemporary society is often ‘in denial’ about. Since then he has maintained an ongoing global street-campaign of over 500, 000 stickers, placards, and murals, using the alpha-numeric characters ‘D3N!@L’. Intended as a conceptual means of marketing absurdism, DENIAL also challenges traditional notions of graffiti and public art through his bold and often satirical visual subversions. Denial is a Canadian artist who experiments with aerosol and stencil art, while his main fields of interest are consumerism, politics and the human condition in today’s society. Since the culture of graffiti was gaining more and more popularity in the US and Europe, the taggers had to be increasingly original in order to stand out. The signatures became bigger, more stylized and more colorful.

    Rap in Blue HPM Acrylic Spray Paint Silkscreen Print by Faile Screen Print on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. 2023 Signed & Numbered Glitter, Spray Paint, Acrylic HPM Embellished Limited Edition of 50 Artwork Size 19x25 Silkscreen Print of Darth Vader in Classic Sweeter With Girlfriend Hugging & The Word Rap "Rap in Blue HPM Acrylic Spray Paint Silkscreen Print" is an iconic piece of street pop art by the highly influential collective, Faile. The piece, which hails from the year 2023, stands as a testament to the blending of classic pop culture motifs with the edginess of graffiti art. The artwork is a part of a limited series, with only 50 prints produced, each signed and numbered by the creators, amplifying its rarity and appeal to art enthusiasts worldwide.

Faile takes this familiar image and transmutes it into a stunning representation of the intersection of popular culture and street art. The word 'Rap', featured prominently in the piece, serves as an interesting juxtaposition against the soft, romantic imagery, perhaps hinting at the dichotomous nature of street culture - tough, yet emotional. The visual appeal of the piece is further elevated by the use of glitter, spray paint, and acrylic, utilized in an HPM (hand painted multiples) embellishment style. These elements, integrated within the silkscreen print, provide the piece with a rich and textured finish that invites the viewer to delve deeper into its layers of meaning. This work measures 19x25 inches, fitting into the compact, yet impactful format often preferred in the world of pop and street art. "Rap in Blue HPM Acrylic Spray Paint Silkscreen Print" by Faile is not merely a piece of pop art; it's a cultural commentary that deftly combines elements of urban street life, iconic characters from cinema, and the evocative power of the written word.

First found on the streets of New York this pup found its way into the studio and really came to life. We've been pushing our shimmering print process lately and this felt like the perfect print to introduce this into our practice. Four different editions, two in red glitter and two in black glitter. All stained, sprayed, painted and printed; it's all the hallmarks of a studio print now with a lot more shine. Using the words of the artists themselves, the artwork “gives a person the sense that it is there just for them. That they've stumbled across this great little gem amidst the chaos of daily life that can really speak to them. We try to build in a certain ambiguity that leaves the door open for the viewer to find themselves within the story.” This relational character of the FAILE’s art corresponds and becomes amplified by their consistent travel and lack of a permanent studio until the mid-2000s. This resulted in the duo’s embracement and utilization of urban streets and, naturally, gave the produced work a “site-specific” character since public art inevitably adjusts itself to the location of the display.

FAILE has embraced both “traditional” media, such as painting, sculpture, and printmaking, and, at the same time, less conventional ones, for example, window pallets and even prayer wheels.

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.
