    Shepard Fairey- OBEY Open Minds Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Open Minds 4-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Cream Speckletone Art Paper by Shepard Fairey Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist. Signed & Numbered Screen Print OPEN MINDS 36 inches by 24 inches Edition of 675 February 3, 2022 Handling Creases to Bottom Left & Right Margins. This “Open Minds” print references the language used by the powerful fuel industry lobby to soften political and public resistance to fracking. Fracking is a form of gas extraction which beyond the carbon impact of the gas itself, contaminates groundwater, pollutes the air, and creates strains on water resources because of the high volume of water required for the fracking process. Open-mindedness about any of those detrimental impacts of fracking and other fossil fuel extraction is absurd if one cares about the environment, air and water quality, and global warming. Powerful corporations and their lobbyists spend exorbitant sums to distract from and discredit the science-based conversation about the environment. I’m all for open minds and open eyes when it comes to putting science and the welfare of the planet before corporate profits. A portion of the proceeds from this print will benefit Greenpeace to support its work to enhance environmental protections and combat climate change. – Shepard

  • Swan Song Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Shepard Fairey- OBEY Swan Song Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Swan Song Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled 4-Color on Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. 2023 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 550 Size 36x24 Silkscreen Print The Swan Song print is a depiction of the precarious state of nature's delicate balance, with numerous species declining, eco-systems teetering on the brink of collapse, and climate scientists warning that time is running out to avert environmental consequences that could render zones inhabitable for millions. While certain groups may suffer more than others, this issue is universal as we all have an impact on both the problems and solutions. Unfortunately, the conscientious habits of individuals alone are insufficient to solve the problem. Unless corporations are pressured and regulated, they will continue to prioritize profits over the planet's health. The piece contains a news clipping revealing that Exxon-Mobile has known for over 40 years, based on their own internal scientific research, that burning fossil fuels is causing global warming, yet they concealed this information and publicly denied the impact of fossil fuels on climate change. A portion of the print's proceeds will be donated to Greenpeace USA to support their efforts to combat climate change. The Speckletone paper used in the print is made from recycled materials. Thank you for your concern.

  • Punishment- Red Silkscreen Print by Cleon Peterson

    Cleon Peterson Punishment- Red Silkscreen Print by Cleon Peterson

    Punishment- Red Hand-Pulled 1-Color Silkscreen Print on 290gsm Coventry Rag Paper by Desirable Artist Cleon Peterson Limited Edition Pop Art Artwork. 2021 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 125 Artwork Size 36x36 “One of the main inspirations that I have is anger. If I can be angry about something, it means I feel passionate about it. It makes me want to make art about it”, Cleon Peterson says. Nonetheless, his art is not dealing with violence on a superficial level, and it is not used as a tool of provocation per se. His simple compositions entail complex connotations and an unsettling critique of society’s ever-growing disenfranchisement, isolation, and desperation. Looking at his work, one can easily understand that the artist is not advocating for violence, which he, instead, weaponizes in the battle with apathy. What’s alarming for Peterson in our world is not the poverty, injustice, and cruelty alone but the lack of reaction to them.

  • WK Shepard Portrait Silkscreen Print by WK Interact x Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    WK / Shepard Portrait Silkscreen Print by WK Interact x Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled on French Speckletone True White Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. 2023 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 450 Artwork Size 36x24 Silkscreen Print WK Interact and Shepard Fairey are luminaries in pop art, street art, and graffiti art, showcasing creativity that blurs the line between counterculture and mainstream artistry. Each has carved its distinct identity in the ever-evolving art scene, bridging the gap between street aesthetics and fine art. Their contribution to this art form has not only inspired a generation of artists but also brought street art into the global limelight. WK Interact, a French artist based in New York City, is renowned for his kinetic, motion-based black-and-white street art. His works often depict figures in motion, creating a sense of velocity and dynamism that is emblematic of urban life. The artistry goes beyond traditional graffiti as his murals often interact with the architecture and environment they are placed in, reflecting a deep connection with the urban landscape. A key concept behind his work is to capture the energy and pace of city life, turning mundane structures into a living art spectacle. "I’ve known WK for almost 25 years, but I admired his art for many years before that. When I started putting art up on the streets of NY in the early 90s, WK had some of the best murals around lower Manhattan. We’ve collaborated a few times over the years, and when I was in NYC in December, WK shot some portraits of me as part of an artist homage series. Usually, I’m uncomfortable being the subject of art pieces, but I love what he did with the final art because it merges our aesthetics very harmoniously… and my face is less of the focus!" -Shepard Fairey "In 2009, I was invited by Shepard Fairey to have a solo show at the Subliminal Project Gallery in Los Angeles. 14 years later, I have the pleasure of visiting Subliminal Projects once again… to sign a new limited edition print, on which we collaborated. I met Shepard long ago… I’ve joined him on many adventures around the world, from Berlin, Japan, NYC, Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago, to Paris. Early on, I realized as we were hitting the streets with paste ups, that we shared something in common and that was the constant desire to work. Shepard was the first person to contact me and extend an invitation to participate in the game. I admire how sharp he is… he forgets nothing. I’m grateful that he let me paint his portrait, but I’m mostly honored to call him my friend." –WK Interact

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.
